why is Chicago doing this? Shouldnt the young guys be the ones to build around? If you are going to blow it up, trade Kane

I don't understand, they built around Kane and Toews and got how many cups? Why not try it again, it makes perfect sense.

 

[Eggtimer]

Thanks but I’m in charge of feeding the canary today.

Its probably already dead from you neglecting it by taking too many “breaks”.

Dach's young but he really hasn't been good like at all. Maybe they don't like him much and are hoping to get something else instead.

Dach's not any good, cutting bait is not a bad idea if you think Dach's value is highest right now

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[Forge]

 

[NJDevs26]

In semi-related news it's 50-50 who the Habs pick at #1

Fair but I am moreso talking about this coupled with potentially trading Debrincat

 

[MauDevils]

Debrincat will definitely be traded or not traded tonight.

 

[Oneiro]

I'm kind of bearish on Debrincat. Like Tkachuk, a lot of cap and two major assets for a guy who is good but not great.

 

[RangerDoggo]

Schrodinger's (DeBrin)cat

 

[Nubmer6]

Exactly what I was going to point out

I mean Debrincat's not a guy you build around. This rebuild is going to take a long time. He's not going to want to stick around. Dach in theory is a guy you build around given the age and draft pedigree but you don't build around him if you don't think he's good.

 

[Csonked Out]

Trading multiple firsts with our goalie situation doesn’t seem wise

 

[SJinNewJersey]

I just think the cost to trade for and new contract are too much for DeBrincat.

 

[Forge]

Ultimately, I don't think that we make the move for Cat...but I get the appeal.

 

[RangerDoggo]

All things being equal, I'd much rather have Gaudreau than DeBrincat.

 

[forceten]

Colorado now only has two picks in this draft - a 6th and a 7th

Let's acquire both of those picks for like $10k cash. I don't know if a team has ever had 0 picks in a draft?

 

[OmNomNom]

i think slaf goes 1OA and we trade the pick

 

[forceten]

heard Mark Fayne used it to record his debut album!

Listen to Mark Fayne's new single "If Only I..." from his debut album "My puck skipped a beat"

 

[Rhodes 81]

That's not enough?

Not for me, unless we're talking 2OA + Holtz territory. But I'm less enamored with Gaudreau than others here, and significantly less certain of the assumption that we can sign him if we want him

 

[Hisch13r]

Take it back.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Breaking: Sources say @NjDevsRR has created another Dano meme.

Huge if true.

 

[Eggtimer]

I thought the Flyers declined a trade for Debrincat for pick #5 feel if it’s too much to give up? But now people think we will have to add to pick #2???
No way if that’s the cost.
Pay pick#2 plus another piece have two years (or is it 1 ? ) of control , then have to pay out the ass for him ?
No .
Fitz sayig we need to her heavier , plus not wantimg to trade for a player that you don’t have much control over = he won’t trade (hopefully not) for the Cat.

Absolutely. Gaudreau would be the perfect winger for Jack. A massive reason Gaudreau went off this year is because he didn't have to be the primary puck carrier on zone entries. Jack's elite at this and only going to get better. Those two together would be magical.
