Boston Bruins 2015 first round pick Jake DeBrusk hopes a change of WHL scenery will help relaunch his game in what may be his final season in juniors.

In the WHL’s first blockbuster trade of the season, DeBrusk was dealt from the Swift Current Broncos over the weekend to the Red Deer Rebels for prospect Lane Pederson, as well as first and third round bantam draft picks. The trade allows Swift Current, currently in second to last place in the Eastern Conference, a chance to rebuild while giving DeBrusk a high profile opportunity to play for the Rebels who are in the middle of the playoff picture and will host the Memorial Cup this season.
