Rumor: All about Alex DeBrincat -possible trade

[Detroit Knights]

I tell you what.

IF Detroit trades for Debrincat, and IF he's given first line minutes with Larkin and Raymond, and IF said players stay reasonably healthy, and IF Debrincat does not score at least 75 points...

...I will post on this forum, hat in hand, that I was wrong about the whole thing. That it was a travesty and a sham and a mockery to acquire him. I will be assessed a ten minute misconduct for Delay of Franchise. We can make a public spectacle of it, and you and norrisnick can throw the first rotten vegetables at my shame-laden countenance.

But I don't think that will be the case. I think he will light it up with those linemates, and it'll help make these bridge years a lot more fun to watch while we're wait for the rest of the kids.

My brother in arms, I will join you in the stockade to be mocked in fashions that we would never wish on our worst of enemies (norrisnick and letsgowings999).

 

[Hen Kolland]

I think he's joking.

Agreed. I think he was commenting that with as many times as "new" information has been announced that the deal is progressing, everyone has had a chance to break something newsworthy and depending when you report it, you can feel like you are first

 

[Detroit Knights]

Have we discussed the scenario where Detroit trades for DeBrincat's rights, sign the 1 year arbitration deal, then trade DeBrincat for an absolute haul at the 2024 trade deadline?

This would be hilarious actually.

Put DBC in a package for toronto for nylander would just be hilarious

Pessimists: "OMG Yzerman, why aren't you acquiring any high-end talent?! We have no scorers!"

*Rumors persist that Yzerman is attempting to acquire high-end talent*

Pessimists: "OMG, not that kind of high-end talent! I want the high-end talent that's unavailable!"

I feel like Holland should do Detroit a solid and trade Draisaitl for crap. Reparations so to speak for his terrible drafts.

Or in a deal for Pettersson in Vancouver. He's an RFA next year.

 

[Detroit Knights]

Should we be listening to the guy with the Kool Aid Man avatar? No.

Are we going to? Oh Yeah!

actually laughed out loud. that was hilarious.

I should have added that , clearly , he played distracted as with a new child, new city and all that goes along with it. No Chipotle. If he were playing this year, even with Pinto, he would easily hit 30 , and with Norris 40. Historically bad SH% for him to take into account.

wow this is brand new information...didn't know he had a kid or married, wow.

now that makes things interesting ogee. how do we start this up to get the juices flowing in both organizations like we did with the debrincat trade??????

(yes i am giving both of us the recognition for the debrincat trade. no, it doesn't make sense. doesn't matter)

This made my day better, thank you

Has anyone told you recently how sick that avatar is?

I was expecting @Konnan511 to show some love, but received none.

It also says Balls Deep so I think it's hella legit.

I was thinking more along the lines of packaging him right away as part of the deal for someone like Nylander, but decided that was possibly too gangsta for even Steve Yzerman.

 

[The Zermanator]

Did I miss something, was there some inside info that a trade is close with Detroit?

You haven’t missed anything, they’ve been edging us for days.

 

[KJoe88]

Ugh this stressful as sht

Especially because now I’m warming up to then idea of ADB and Larkin.

 

[saska sault]

I said I didn't care if we got him, but now... I'm starting to care also. Please let it either happen for a decent cost or let the rumors clear.

 

[RRhoads]

I wonder how many times I have entered this thread for news the last couple of days. Usually my phone's battery lasts the whole day, but not these days.

Are you suggesting I should cut down to 10 HFB tabs?

I have to remember to lock my phone when I set it down, because the ads keep the screen alive half the time.

If you want to call yourself a casual then have it...loser

Just opening the page is like 5% gone. How am I supposed to poop and post at work if the auto refresh and adds kill my phone battery so quick?!

 

[Ezekial]

I mean to be fair, he is very likely better than Kubalik. But Let me ask you this.

Do you think it would be a good idea to wait till the end of the season to sign him to an extension?

Lol what a terribly disingenuous post.

He's not likely better thank Kubalik. He's markedly better than Kubalik.

Sounds like you need more fiber in your diet!

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Sounds like you need more fiber in your diet!

So here's the thing: If you take a 10 minute poop break every day at work it equals out to a 40 hour vacation at the end of the year.

now if you poop 4 times a day at work? That's a lot more vacation time!
