GDT: 2022 NHL Entry Draft - Round 1 - July 7th - 7 P.M / Round 2-7 - July 8th - 11 A.M

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

You should try looking at some of the players that have been selected #2 overall in NHL history. And he most certainly is in his prime and possibly beyond it. Snipers peak in their early 20s quite often.

 

[NJDevs26]

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

Yeah if they weren't getting one of the top two picks they needed to come out of the DeBrincat trade with AT LEAST a top prospect as well as a top ten pick.

 

[BananaGenetics]

He messed up last draft, albeit not nearly at a crucial level but still, that stillman pick ooooooooooooooooooof.

How so?

 

[JrFischer54]

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

you know its not exactly a sure thing that whoever they draft is a lock to be good.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Agreed.

Also as of a few days ago I finally found out where your pfp is from

Very highly recommend. Though it may be about time to switch it up.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

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

This is just bitching to bitch.

 

[Emperoreddy]

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.

Lol an undersized forward. He scored 40 goals a year. That is insane talk

 

[Hisch13r]

If Kuemper's eye is fine I'd like this

 

[NJDevs26]

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

Maybe if Chicago had competent management that would have been the asking price...HF might actually be smarter than they are lol

lol so now we can't keep players past age 24. wow! hot take!

 

[hidek91]

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.

Only on HFBoards Fiala and Debrincat deals are considered "cheap". I'm a bit surprised about HFBoards' reaction to this deal.

In reality, those picks are super important as they are the only way to get impact players on very low contracts. Debrincat and Fiala have like 4-5 years of their primes left and will have very high contracts for remainder of their primes.

I can get not wanting to move 2 for him, but I think claiming he might be beyond his peak is a bit much

Ive seen the charts you speak of once before but idk man, a 24yo 40g scorer is like really valuable. They dont grow on trees

Count me the f*** in

TO THE SENS

The Sens did good there, DeBrincat is a fantastic player.

It’s a bold move because he has a 9m QO and they have to hammer out a pricy extension but after the rumored gross Anderson/Dvorak deal they did one that made them a whole lot better.

 

[Alex NJD]

Very highly recommend. Though it may be about time to switch it up.

Ya I've really enjoyed it so far, halfway through and should finish it up in the next few days

 

[Eggtimer]

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

That or he is saving cap room for Gaudreau plus keeping pick #2 . Which is the right move

 

[Emperoreddy]

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

We aren't getting Johnny. He will take a pay cut to go to Philly or stay in Calgary.

 

[Unknown Caller]

This is just bitching to bitch.

No, it’s just wishing we would make a move at some point to improve the team. I’m all for patience and the process, but has Fitz ever moved a single high pick or prospect for anything?

 

[Traitor Zach]

If Kuemper's eye is fine I'd like this

Agreed. Sign me up.

 

[Saugus]

I actually feel bad for DeBrincat. Rumors flying everywhere that you could be going to NJ, clearly a team on the rise.

And instead, you get traded... to f***ing Ottawa, the clownshoes stepchild franchise of eastern Canada.

lol Yeah this is a world of a difference compared to that deal

 

[devlzfan]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TOM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

 

[MachoDiablo]

What the hell, think I'll head down to Asbury for the party.

Made sure to grab this bad boy for the occasion, Allegiant Goods has some nice shirts:

There's no reason to believe we couldn't get him.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

I don’t remember the blatant FA tampering via media members ever being this bad.
