This summer will be huge for many teams in the NHL, and after little success on the ice, the Flames are looking to outbid their rivals, and they may just do it. The Calgary Flames moved closer to a rebuild this past week by trading star goaltender Jacob Markstrom, but in free agency, that may not stop them from being buyers. According to all reports, the team have shown plenty of interest in Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk, who hails from Alberta, and will likely welcome a move home. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhlflame/status/1802003179426422843'> </a></blockquote></div> However, the Edmonton Oilers are expected to show interest in the veteran too, and according to Frank Seravalli, this may result in a bidding war. Surprisingly though, the pro-Oilers reporter revealed he believes it will be Calgary to win the race to DeBrusk's signature, not the Oilers. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/akaRCN/status/1803565701275464113'> </a></blockquote></div> On top of this, the Toronto Maple Leafs are keeping a close eye on his situation, and with very few star level players available in free agency, DeBrusk's market will likely only grow. At this stage, it appears DeBrusk is heading north of the border one way or another, and now all we can do is wait to see which Canadian team he chooses.
