Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk has reportedly rescinded a trade request that was made public last November.

It's unfair to say there's a straight line to be drawn between Bruce Cassidy being replaced and DeBrusk wanting to stay put, as the forward had a very successful second half of the season after being bumped to the first line.

But DeBrusk does indeed feel more comfortable playing out his 2-year deal, although it should be noted there's no trade protection.

Does this change Don Sweeney's offseason plans heading into this week's NHL Draft?
