Rumor: All about Alex DeBrincat -possible trade

[Henkka]

If Dorian isn't prepared to let teams speak to DeBrincat re contract renewal, he's hugely limiting his potential trade offers.

That's quite stupid from a GM.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I don't know if this is credible or not

 

[SoupNazi]

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

If that's the case we will win a Cup around 2250.

Credibility aside (I know, I know), I would have been very happy with this which means OTT said no.

Canadian teams are leaky ships in comparison to the one Yzerman runs.

If that was the offer and Dorion wanted more then he’s an idiot.

 

[FMichael]

Yzerman probably just didn't/doesn't want to give up a first for DeBrincat and I don't blame him at all.

Indeed - especially when considering he’ll become a UFA next summer.

 

[Run the Jewels]

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.

Eh, they took him to arbitration. At least that provides some "cost certainty". Not a great move by their GM but whatever.

sounds more like the Wings walked away because they wanted ASP if true

 

[Holden Caufield]

Crazy how fast this flipped from I don't see how it's not Detroit to looking like nothing will happen now.

Well when these clowns are spitting out ‘32 thoughts’ twice a week. They usually only hit on about 2 or 3 things.

Meaning about 90% of it is rumor mongering trash. But they hide behind ‘it was only thoughts’.

Miss the days when Bobby Mac brought honor and reliability. He Didn’t just throw any stupid rumor or idea that he had in his head on Twitter for clicks/podcast views.

I miss the days when Bobby would post on HFBoards.

If they weren't letting us negotiate I get walking away. No sense paying up for someone who could end up being a one year rental. DeBrincat is good but what good is he if he only provides us scoring for one year OR his contract demands are so high we have to overpay to keep him.

I still don’t buy this. Especially with Dorion saying he doubted he could get a first round pick, or something like that.

This is people trying to rationalize BS rumors that had no legs from square one.

It was reported somewhere that Yzerman gave Dorian a take it or leave it deal. I don’t think Yzerman was so in love with ASP that he walked away for a deal for the best goal scorer on the market.

I could see it - if they were not allowed to talk contract with DeBrincat.

It makes more sense that we’d walk when not being given permission to talk with DeBrincat. it’s probably why nobody else made the move either. Dorion is f***ing up.

Hopefully a few teams strike out in free agency and then turn to the trade market to shake things up. Or other deals that were being discussed fall through and said teams then turn to Detroit.

At this point I'm clinging to an even better player than Debrincat becoming available, because as low as those odds are, I'll take that over another year of stuffing the roster with bridge players slotted above their skill level.

DeBrincat aka prime Oveckin. We will have to overpay for this guy. Should have just drafted him...

 

[Pavels Dog]

So Ottawa wanted the 9th overall pick for DeBrincat without even allowing Detroit to talk extension.

Very happy Yzerman held firm on not offering that.

I can understand saying no if that's the case. But the critical need for scoring is still there. They could have just signed Sprong and Ghost and the goalies and kept searching for a trade for an actual top six forward without adding the other scrubs.

 

[Detroit Knights]

Why do I get a sneaky inkling that Vegas is going to trade for DeBrincat? No need to support the statement. But they need cap space to dump and I could see them dumping Martinez and maybe karlsson? Or maybe Martinez and mcnabb?

 

[mikerooooose]

Just watched all of his 22-23 season goals. He can certainly finish, but most of his goals were at the bottom left circle where he was fed the puck. Is our top line good enough to do that? Haha

I think Larkin and or Perron can get it to him in the top 6. As much as I don’t like Perron, he can find the seam every once and a while
