Rumor: All about Alex DeBrincat -possible trade

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

It's probably going to be a 1 year arbitration deal for DeBrincat then a trade to a contender at the deadline. This sucks for us because it's the most sure bet to add a real goal scorer for the first time since Hossa.

 

[Henkka]

Nylander is going to want more than Larkin. Good with that?

Dunno.

With just cap rise and Nylander signing 1 year later, the equal Larkin 8.7M contract at summer 2024 is 9.05M.

They would get the "same" vs cap, but Nylander just has higher cap number.

I don't believe so. I remember the Chelios and Ilitch thing being that Mike thought he did the walk in, drop bag, acquire player. That was how he always negotiated. It's why Fedorov left and Scherzer left. Mr. I was big on the "I got the biggest dick in the room negotiations." He offered Fedorov 5x10 and got pissed that Fedorov said he needed time to think about it. He offered Scherzer 6/144 and was pissed when Scherzer didn't jump at it. With Scherzer, that was when Mr. I was end of life and had lost touch with the market. 6/144 was a lowball offer for Max Scherzer

Not totally true on Scherzer. Ilitch asked Boras and Scherzer what it would take, Boras threw that number out, Ilitch agreed and Boras changed his mind and said Scherzer will get $200m in FA and Ilitch went ballistic

What the hell is Yzerman doing and waiting for? Are they going to be ready for the playoffs by 2030?

I'm convinced he adds a year to the rebuild for every 5 questions from HSJ that make him mildly annoyed.

I think realistically we’re still 4-5 years away from playoffs. That’s pretty much determined.

Good.

if that was determined there was no reason to bring Larkin back.

I'd a rebuild approaches a decade before even making the playoffs, it's a failed rebuild.

If you don't have permission to negotiate a deal then the price has to reflect that. This doesn't sound like the case. I have no problems with Yzerman stepping away if this is truly what is happening.

 

[stillwater]

You should never get into a bidding war against yourself.

oh my god! Some guy is quoting a guy who's quoting a guy who said he thinks something that might be going on!!

That means it's definitely true.

 

[saska sault]

Yzerman didn't cater to Ottawa's demands on a player, OMG WHAT IS STEVE DOING?!

Good business folks. Just because a talented player is available doesn't mean you just give up whatever, good lord. We literally have a talent deficiency and we are mad about not giving up multiple and probably too many good pieces for a player we cant guarantee will be here past this coming season.. a rental at this point. Exactly what Ottawa did to get in this situation...

Wait, you’re mad that he won’t overpay in assets and then overpay on a contract?

If DeBrincat really wants to come home he will force the issue to where Dorian has no choice but to take it

 

[dtown77]

Exactly, if he wants to come to Detroit he is one year away from it. He has the power to make that happen. In my amateur opinion, you always think a guy is coming home until he doesn't. Happens way more that way then not.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

This is actually the best case scenario. It signals to DeBrincat that we are interested and made a reasonable offer, without actually having to give up the assets. Balls in his court. If he really wants to come home all he has to do is ride out the year and then come collect his payday. Win-win.

Ya and Habs fans were adamant thats exactly how it will play out for PLD too since he reeaaally wanted to play there lol.

If you want legit talent, you need to be proactive and actually pay a decent price for them before its too late. You need to pay some to win some, banking on a free lunch will leave you dissapointed and empty handed more often than not.

Has he been qualified?

It's probably going to be a 1 year arbitration deal for DeBrincat then a trade to a contender at the deadline. This sucks for us because it's the most sure bet to add a real goal scorer for the first time since Hossa.

 

[Henkka]

The call for arbitration does the same. He'll get his 1-year deal, with a caphit we don't know yet.

They can't file for arbitration before July 5th. If they haven't qualified him, he's an UFA.

For sure he won't be UFA. Why waste any time speculating he would be?

He pretty much was qualified, if the process needed him to be qualified.

If Dorian isn't prepared to let teams speak to DeBrincat re contract renewal, he's hugely limiting his potential trade offers. Unless he can discuss terms, Yzerman certainly isn't going to spend big on this one.
