Player Discussion Alex DeBrincat

[BrawlFan]

Dufour is really their only prospect, and he’s not exactly a top end guy.

Pageau isn’t much more than a cap dump, still serviceable without a doubt, will fit in on the Sens, but if offered around the league would not return anything.

Would have to thinn a 1st protected as well.

Not much to be excited about from the Islanders from me, realistically, but just getting the trade done and over with is a large positive.

Pager at 3.75 (25% retained) is good value. He has single handedly won playoff games. I’d welcome him back with open arms. Plus Wahlstrom is your 3rd line winger on the left.

Sign Dumba with the savings and call it a day.

 

[BoardsofCanada]

Wahlstrom, 2024 1st and 2024 2nd would be sufficient for me.

 

[Speatleysson]

Wahlstrom, 2024 1st and 2024 2nd would be sufficient for me.

Do you think we get that much with Debrincat being unsigned through next year? I think this is fair.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Wahlstrom, 2024 1st and 2024 2nd would be sufficient for me.

Isles have 7.3mil in cap space with Mayfield & Varlamov contracts pending. They will need to clear a decent amount of $ so that deal would be a clear no-go (and probably far more value than they are willing to give)

Wahlstrom, 2024 1st and 2024 2nd would be sufficient for me.

You’re gonna eat salary on a deal with cat if you want a good return. The same package will require you to take pageau at 100% salary IMO. But I’d take that deal. I’d throw in a Lassi if he has any value to gain some retention (15-20%). Or keep the 2nd and retain.

At this time it’s a 3 way deal with New York for DeBrincat.

Still possible but we’d need to have a team eat 50% of Pageau’s contract to make it work.

Why you so obsessed with Dumba? Not gonna happen my friend lol

Bite your tongue! Why?! Canadian RHD who got unfairly shit on but logged top 4 minutes and was a good defensive defender. Biggest complaint from wild fans? He has no offence anymore. What’s not to like on buying low on a minute eater?

Mayfield just got re-signed. If you get Dumba for that cost you take it. He’s more valuable than Zub.

 

[aragorn]

It would be nice to just get this over with, I'd trade DBC to Detroit just so it no longer hangs over this team for Boston's 1st, Kubalik & Dallas 4th. Kubalik would be a decent DBC replacement, he has good size & wheels & had 45 pts last yr & with Batherson & Norris could create a decent 2nd line & most importantly he would be cheap to re-sign. They should re-sign him immediately when acquiring him before he has a great season & demands more.

 

[Sens Vader]

We really gotta figure out this trade.

Our bottom 6 sucks, our bottom pairing sucks, and we’re losing a top 6 winger.

Gotta see what we can fill via the return, and that will give us an idea of what else we can spend in FA

 

[Boud]

Detroit would rather sign Compher and Holl than get DBC. Yzerman hanging out at Shepherds hope.

Just his cap hit doesn’t work here that’s all

 

[SpezDispenser]

I'd be okay holding that bag. Debrincat isn't going to play like shit during a contract year.

Exactly. Might be forced to if no one else wants him.

3.5M is fair

I wouldn't say our bottom pairing sucks. With Pinto on 3rd line and hopefully greig or Sokolov taking a step the bottom 6 may not be that bad either. We need the goaltenders to have decent seasons and obviously we need replacement for d-cat. I am still positive we could improve from last year but DJ and PD should be on hot seats I would hope..

 

[bicboi64]

Don't think the Isles have the prospects we'd want, but there still could be a deal there if they include an unprotected 1st. Before they acquire Cat, they need to ship out some contracts or we have to be cool with taking on someone like Pageau, Palmieri, Nelson (assuming they're good with coming to Ottawa) or some of their bottom 6 guys like Clutterbuck, Johnston or Martin.

I'd be fine with Palimeri or Nelson, but Pageau is overpaid for what he brings to the table right now.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

I’d rather keep cat for 1 year ( and pay to move Joseph ) over Pageau for 3 at 5M per unless the Islanders are significantly adding to the package.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Important change in approach.

 

[Silencio]

According to Garrioch, DeBrincat isn’t getting good offers from other teams so far. Ottawa is the only one offering term.

There would be more to the deal without a doubt. Pageau would be a good fit here but still for the Isles he's more of a cap dump.

Would be hilarious if he signed long term now.

He wants to cash in anyway

Hope the aav just dropped to $7.5 million lol

 

[inthewings]

People keep talking like it's an option to keep DeBrincat, but I really don't see how it's viable. Even if Cat signed for 7M and Pinto for 2M, the team is 500k over the cap with 12F, 6D, and 2G. And Cat and Pinto will likely make significantly more than 9M between the two of them. I don't even think they'd have space if they paid someone to take Joseph and replaced him with a league min salary.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

how the f*** are we even supposed to fit him in?
