Traded Alex DeBrincat (signs 4 years, $7.875M AAV) for Dominik Kubalik, Donovan Sebrango, cond. 2024 or 2025 1st (DET or BOS), 2024 4th

[Philadelphia Collins]

Lmao, Dorion got Yzerman to pay a 1st round pick for a player that was probably going to sign with them next summer anyways.

How does that kool-aid taste

How does that kool-aid taste

You tell me.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

If we don't end up with Tarasenko from all of this garbage, Dorion should be canned before they even drop the puck for the pre-season. Like, the moment Andlauer takes the reigns.

 

[Speatleysson]

The fact that Dorion put the power in Detroit's hand as far as which pick to give us is astonishing.

 

[BigRig4]

Squandered the 7th overall pick into Kubalik and a late 1st. Will likely be Dorion's last major move as an NHL GM.

[Hale The Villain]

For anyone who just took a look at Kubalik's stats and saw he had 45 points this past season, don't get too excited.

21 of his 45 points came in the first 18 games. Had 24 points in the next 61 games.

He's a mediocre forward barely worth his 2.5M cap hit. Certainly no center piece,

 

[Sens in Process]

Signing Debrincat at 8 x8 would have been the worst possible outcome.

 

[Senator Stanley]

This is a terrible deal. It's typical Dorion. Bleed assets. Death by a thousand cuts.

 

[Sens Vader]

No it’s not. They’re completely independent of each other.

I mean good for the roster, but yeah.

 

[Comely]

With how few teams he was willing to sign with the return was never going to be better then the rental return.

This is a mediocre rental return but at least it lets us move on.

 

[SensontheRush]

Dorion sure loves giving premier players away for free.

Busted-in head syndrome?

 

[Sens in Process]

For anyone who just took a look at Kubalik's stats and saw he had 45 points this past season, don't get too excited.

21 of his 45 points came in the first 18 games. Had 24 points in the next 61 games.

He's a mediocre forward barely worth his 2.5M cap hit. Certainly no center piece,

Debrincat had 4 even strength goals in his last 36 games, so what is your point.

 

[Dionysus]

A tweener and the 1st is Detroits choice. Not much value, only benefit is they can have clarity on the roster and cap now.

Just a disastrous sequence by Dorion. 7th overall, 2nd, 3rd for a late 1st and Kubalik. Kind of work that makes it easy for someone to fire you.

He’s not a center piece but he didn’t really play with the best talent. He’s pretty much a lock to get very close to the number of goals DeBrincat had playing on this team.

Saying he’s barely worth 2.5M in this day and age is a bit silly.

tbf he's a great 3rd liner but we need Dorion to get a replacement for the 2nd line.

Found Pierre's burner account.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

before the trade i was like at least we will get breggren.

:/

 

[Que]

This trade is astonishingly terrible.

 

[DJB]

The biggest issue here was that Debrincat didn’t want to sign anywhere but Detroit really.

It entirely handcuffed Ottawa and the ability to make a deal with a great return.

 

[inthewings]

Unbelievably poor return

 

[Rodzilla]

Kubalik is good

I know, I watched him. But we’re still downgrading and losing Cat

 

[Emerica]

Squandered the 7th overall pick into Kubalik and a late 1st. Will likely be Dorion's last major move as an NHL GM.

If only the sale could’ve been completed within the original timeline, Andlauer could have saved us from another horrible Dorion stinker. Turning the 7th, 2nd and 3rd into this package one year later is a fireable offense in and of itself. Let alone all the other shit deals he’s done. He’s a dead man walking

 

[BondraTime]

Unsigned DBC traded to Ottawa for 7th overall, 39th overall, 4th.

DBC signed for 4 years traded away from Ottawa for a UFA to be journeyman, ECHL/AHL prospect, double protected 1st, and a 4th.

Makes sense, real great management

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Wings fan coming in peace. I liked Kubalik and Sebrango has a bunch of promise. Why didn't DeBrincat not work in Ottawa? He just didn't want to be there? Because I noticed his goals dropped last season? Could someone provide some insight?
