[TBF1972]

There's no panicking. That's obviously a situation we've planned for.

having wright and slaf available could surprise them, but unlikely.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

i'm convinced ownership doesn't want to spend more then they have to if that was the ask for debincat

Or the GM likes the guys that will be available at 2 more?

 

[NJDevs26]

And not for nothing if we aren't trading #2 for DeBrincat then we'd better not be trading it for anyone and f*** moving down unless they get a Herschel Walker-type haul.

 

[Csonked Out]

Man Chicago is straight up tanking. Love the trade for Ottawa too, they already have a great pool of young players

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

BHawks fans thought they were getting #2 + Holtz + more lmao

 

[Emperoreddy]

I would have topped that easily. 2nd straight up, or hell they can have a 2nd

 

[JrFischer54]

Or the GM likes the guys that will be available at 2 more?

more so then a 40 goal scorer not even in the prime of his career? lol unreal man absolutely unreal

 

[Alex NJD]

so #2 overall would have been more than enough straight up...interesting.

#2 has more value than a lot of us thought maybe?

 

[Forge]

Well done by Ottawa. Clearly we didn't have much of an interest there or were 100% unwilling to part with #2. LIS earlier, woudln't have hated it if that was everything.

 

[Traitor Zach]

That's a weak package IMO and signals Hawks are going long rebuild for sure.

 

[Eggtimer]

You guys got your wish. We can wait 4 years for the guy we draft to make any sort of impact now (in the event they even pan out).

Or habe a dominant stud winger in Slaf plus sign Gaudreu and dominate for years

 

[Forge]

BHawks fans thought they were getting #2 + Holtz + more lmao

Winger returns have been brutal.

 

[Zippy316]

Good deal for both sides.

Glad the Devils stayed out of that one though, not a fan of adding DeBrincat to this roster. Would’ve cost #2 plus a small plus most likely and that’s way too pricey for another undersized forward that will cost you 8mil + when he extends.

 

[Davegarri]

Would love for this to lower Tkachuk's value. I'd gladly give up #2+ for him

 

[Saugus]

The return is just #7 and #39, or is there more to it than that? Seems like a low offer if there's not another piece to it.

And now that DeBrincat is gone and Tkachuk is apparently off the table, we're likely keeping the pick, barring a trade down scenario.

 

[NJDevs26]

#2 has more value than a lot of us thought maybe?

The top two choices have appreciably more value than anything from 3 on most likely.

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

This really shows how bad a lot of posters here are at valuing players that are only a year or so away from UFA. Some posters here actually thought the Devils would have to add to 2OA to get DeBrincat - LOL

 

[Hisch13r]

If we don't get Johnny I'll agree that this probably kind of sucks but I'd still prefer to keep 2 and go after Johnny since we're seemingly front runners

 

[devlzfan]

Now I wish the Devils didn't win the lottery because then they could have traded #5 and #37.

 

[Devils731]

Another good example that salary has a big impact on player trade value.

 

[MartyOwns]

couldn’t have happened to a more deserving franchise. f*** the hawks

 

[Zacha37]

Fitz has to really like someone at 2oa to not have pulled the trigger on that deal.

 

[Unknown Caller]

#2 has more value than a lot of us thought maybe?

No. We’re just the kings of doing absolutely f***ing nothing. Outside of the occasional free agent signings, we sit on our hands.

 

[TheSituation]

Good deal for both sides.

Glad the Devils stayed out of that one though, not a fan of adding DeBrincat to this roster. Would’ve cost #2 plus a small plus most likely and that’s way too pricey for another undersized forward that will cost you 8mil + when he extends.

I thought I was the only one worried about an undersized front 6. I hate the idea of it, so I'm glad Ottawa stepped.
