GDT: 2022 NHL Draft (And Trade Rumors) - Montreal - July 7 - July 8

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Bob Clarke held a gun to Chuck's head and told him he'd never see his family again if he didn't pick Gauthier. The poor man had no choice, really. Such a tragic, unlucky existence.

You need to get your story straight. It’s Ron Hextall and his Jedi mind tricks.

Debrincat.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Debrincat.

Great deal for the Sens.

 

[kudymen]

Debrincat.

Wait so 2nd rounders can be added in order to get an asset too?

 

[Magua]

I don't really get it from Ottawa's perspective? Especially with how cheap they are with letting their stars walk. DeBrincat has to want to stay in 2 years, and I'm not sure why he does.

TSN saying the Sens are going to keep trying to add....want Giroux.

 

[GKJ]

Senators are here to play apparently. Didn't the Blackhawks want like 3 first round picks for him?

Maybe they're banking on Stootzly/DeBrincat being their own poor man's (lol) McDavid/Draisaitl? 2 great players on an otherwise bad team to build around?

That's all I got. I'm not awfully familiar with the Sens' pipeline but it does seem an odd choice.

Do they actually go after Giroux as is being reported to crack a playoffs window open?

Short term they get some excitement and extra ticket sales, and then medium term they probably trade him at the 2024 deadline.

Maybe this changes after Melnyk passed.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Holy fck. Flutch held strong

 

[DancingPanther]

Hilarious that the Blackhawks got pegged by the jackets. Having #6ish and #7 would be nice huh

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Debrincat.

Less then Risto including pick to dump Ghost.

Yeah, seems to me they've paid a lot for a guy they're gonna shrug off shortly. I imagine the Estate of Eugene Melnyk isn't going to be more free-spending.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Holy f***, debrincat got a kings ransom!!! Wow

 

[Hurricane28]

The Flyers paid just a bit less for Ristolainen lmao

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Giroux stutzle debrincat will be a damn good first line for them lol

 

[Beef Invictus]

The Flyers paid just a bit less for Ristolainen lmao

 

[DancingPanther]

Less then Risto including pick to dump Ghost?

#13 ovr, 2nd, 2nd, Hagg, Ghost for Fisto 5 yr/5.1

Vs

#7, #39, 3rd for Debrincat

It's close, but that's exactly the f***ing point

It's actually crazy how talented Ottawa could be if they didn't light top 2 rounders on fire the last few years to get grit and size. They have a lot of sneaky good forward talent.

Maybe this changes after Melnyk passed.

Maybe? But they're not a financially sound team, I believe. I don't know how that changes overnight. Their attendance was dead last; Melnyk's daughters "run" the team now, with no plans to sell. They'll eventually get a new rink, but that's years and years away.

Ottawa basically positioned themselves to need to sign DeBrincat to $9MM x 8 years.

One of my buddies who isn't a hockey koalabrain was saying he's feeling optimistic. Said essentially the same thing - sneaky talent. Could be a step forward this year.

 

[Rich Nixon]

How absolutely sick is it gonna be when Fletcher solves the defense even more by trading for T. Myers and signing Subban as this year's trash veteran hanger-on?

Risto
Myers
Subban

Down the right, that's just gnarly shit. Just immaculate shit. Just think of how possible this scenario is.

 

[Prongo]

They have to be forcing Toews/Kane to ask for a trade. Jones NMC hasn’t kicked in yet, wouldn’t surprise me to see teams kicking the tires on him at all.

 

[BiggE]

Now hopefully Calgary re-signs JG and Cuck can be saved from his own stupidity. Of course, he’d then likely overpay a guy like Manson for way too many years.

You can’t fix stupid.
