A former Boston Bruins fan favorite reportedly asked to get traded out of the Vancouver Canucks organization, according to Daily Faceoff.

The 2025-26 season in Vancouver has turned into a nightmare, and everyone knows it. The Canucks are sinking fast, and the vibes in the room are at an all-time low.

After already trading away Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood earlier this season, they appear ready to sell everything that isn't nailed down before the March 6 deadline.

According to reports, Jake DeBrusk could be among the next players to leave.

As he watches his former teammate and captain, Quinn Hughes, not only playing in the Olympic Games for Team USA, but scoring an overtime goal to eliminate Team Sweden from the quarterfinals, DeBrusk seems to be ready to start a new chapter.

DeBrusk Reportedly Wants Out Of Vancouver, Gets Linked To Boston

DeBrusk is struggling to find his game in Vancouver. Following a 28-goal season last year, he's currently sitting on 13 goals and 28 points through 56 games this season. He's also a minus-15, which shows how much he's fighting it in his own end.

He could use a fresh start. He isn't happy, and he's made it clear he wouldn't mind a change of scenery. The Canucks aren't going to fight him on it. They need to shed salary, and he's a $5.5 million cap hit that isn't producing.

This information comes from the DFO Rundown on Feb 18:

The Bruins have been searching for a top-six winger ever since DeBrusk walked in free agency two years ago.

Right now, they're clinging to the last playoff spot in the East with 69 points after 57 games. Adding a player like DeBrusk would help the team on both sides of the ice and also relieve some pressure off the Bruins' stars.
