Why would Ullmark want to go to Ottawa, he has a NMC. I'd easily take Swayman as the main piece, but that return would require ADB to sign long term in boston and I'm not sure thats in the cards.
Don't get greedy, we all know it'll be the NYI pick going to OTT if the Cat is DET bound.
More likely we'd take him to arb to knock off 0.5-1m from his 9m QO than sign it as is to make him more tradable. We'd also be prioritizing the teams on his preferred list of destinations so an extension can be arranged as part of the trade which will return a better package. He needs to be traded this summer, waiting until the deadline would be a disaster for our team that will hurt our chances getting into the playoffs assuming we'd still be a bubble team trying to secure a wild spot. Making the post season is a priority now and trading him that late will would hurt our chances, would be really dumb if we wait until then.
Just saying that Bos 1st is 28th overall - that can't be the best piece in a DeBrincat trade, especially if he is staying in the division.
f*** that.
Rather just keep him and trade him at the deadline then. No way they are going to take a deal like that not even dorion is that dumb.
You'd have to think that something like that only happens if he has an extension. A bad contract would likely go the other way too.
That isn't really sweetening the pot any.
Doesn't really matter. I'd much rather have Kasper from 19 on than DeBrincat from 25 on.
Well your personal opinion is fair we all have them. But an extended Debrincat has good value. For a player that has not played a game that wasnt a sure fire top 3 pick its not out of the question. But anyways i digress i doubt it happens as well. I dont think Dorion has the ability to find a team that is going to get an extension done because I dont think that Debrincat has ever had any intention of not being a UFA. Sens are going to set their team back for years based on this deal. Another Dorion blunder.
That depends entirely on the AAV of said extension.
Would make me happy. Its not like this situation was not readily apparent when we traded last summer we knew it was a risk. Yes we have to move on, my only ocncern is moving on at any cost. I'd sooner hang on and take the cap space into free agency next year than to trade for a pittance. Mid to late first is what I'd expect back, or a signed/cost controlled serviceable third line winger.
