LeBrun: DeBrincat will most likely be traded, agent has submitted list of preferred destinations

[Big Muddy]

If any one of Bura, Bjork, McCann, or Schwartz would waive from the Kraken. I'd do Debrincat for one of them, Sprong, and a conditional 2024 1st rounder (If Kraken make CF).

That would be nice but don't think they'll get that kind of return.

 

[TLEH]

Would have him back in Chicago. I know he loved the city, (Who doesn’t). Also the reason the return on him was less than expected was clear shortly after when he wouldn’t even consider an extension. I argue Davidson did what most teams don’t and trade a guy early, when it’s actually the right time.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Would anyone do 1st + 1st for DeBrincat and a 2nd?
Doesn't have to be 2023 picks

Edit:
1st + 2nd seems to be a common offer, and this isn't that much more but is also a lot more enticing. Just curious

I doubt it given the fact that most teams know Ottawa has very little leverage here.

Is there even a source that he wouldn’t sign in Chicago?

 

[Golden_Jet]

As a Kings fan I'd trade Iafallo,Moore,Walker,Turcotte and Fagemo for DeBrincat

Sens wouldn’t be interested in those players. Not looking for quantity, looking for a hockey trade.

Kempe or
Vilardi and Roy

 

[93gilmour93]

Colombus can afford his new contract
Trade and sign
Trade Debrincat for LAK 1st round pick and Kent Johnson
fair enough for both ?

Ottawa would be more than happy with that. Columbus on the other hand…….

If he isn’t signing with Ottawa why in earth would he sign for Columbus?

 

[TLEH]

An extension with the team he was traded to.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Not to mention Babcock going there.

 

[themelkman]

He wont move because the offers wont be anywhere near what they paid

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

As a Kings fan I'd trade Iafallo,Moore,Walker,Turcotte and Fagemo for DeBrincat

I'd actually do that if all waived to come to Sens. Iafallo, Moore, and Fagemo make us deeper.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Whatever they get back, my hope is they can package it along with Pinto to land Keller, and then just sign a 3C to replace Pinto. Otherwise I'd want a player in return and not futures.

FTR:
Some ARZ fans seemd to like the idea of Pinto, a 1st, and Kleven for Keller.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He wont move because the offers wont be anywhere near what they paid

How does the value of 7th overall in 2022 compare with a 15-18th overall in 2023?

A mid 1st rounder + B prospect might do. Using the 8-9 mill in cap space to allocate 2-3 players through UFA/trade probably makes us a better team. A lot easier said than done though.

 

[DJB]

LOOOOL. Where are Sens fans who were screaming he would get signed at?

You could tell he was going to bolt from Day 1.

These same exact words could soon be written for Matthews

 

[Hale The Villain]

I'm sure Dorion would love an excuse to keep DeBrincat for next year to try to save his own skin.

Only way he's trading DeBrincat this summer is for a package that doesn't make him look terrible.

What will help him get such a package is the fact that the UFA market for forwards, particularly ones still in their 20s, is extremely thin this year.

It's basically Bertuzzi and maybe Barbashev, should he not extend in Vegas. Rest of the quality forwards are getting up there in age and teams trying to take the next step probably won't be interested.

Should be plenty of suitors. Could see DET, ANA, WSH, NSH, CAR and NYI possibly being interested.

No way Columbus would do this

Kempe or
Vilardi and Roy

Kempe for Debrincat are you crazy? I'd give you Iafallo,Moore,Roy,Turcotte and Fagemo plus Lias Andersson and Walker

 

[BondraTime]

Going to be a very, very small market.

Kings wouldn’t be interested in DeBrincat, period

They have no need for him

Kempe > DeBrincat

Vilardi and Roy> DeBrincat

You can argue about DeBrincat value, but he is still not needed in LA.

 

[sennysensen]

I think a team like Carolina could use the Cat. They had so much trouble scoring in the playoffs. Nobody with the great in tight hands like the Cat has. Cat would have better numbers on the 1st line there than on the 2nd line like with the Sens.

Not sure what the package would be, as Canes' 1st rounder is very late, and probably will be next year as well. Maybe 2 1sts. Sens downgrade from what they paid as 1 year of ADB is worth less than 2 years.

I think the Sens should trade him whether he wants to sign or not. They have lots of scorers, his spot will be taken by Norris on PP1 next season. I'd rather spend the money on a goalie, better 3rd line, and/or save money for signing Sanderson and Chychrun in the coming years, more important than the Cat.

Sign and trades are so rare, I won't even consider it.

People say the Sens have no leverage, but they don't have to trade him in the summer, they could easily trade him at the deadline probably for a similar amount. One good thing for Sens is the total lack of scoring free agents available this summer. If someone wants a scorer, Cat is one of the few options available.

 

[kinghock]

I'd actually do that if all waived to come to Sens. Iafallo, Moore, and Fagemo make us deeper.

I would trade Iafallo, Moore, and Fagemo for DeBrincat if Kings had money to sign Gavrikov and Vilardi.

Because LA currently do not have money to sign their own free agents, I believe they will trade Iafallo/Arvidsson and Moore for draft pics only.

 

[BKarchitect]

His value is somewhere between every easily expendable piece off on the Kings roster (or a bunch of average salary) and Kempe or Vilardi+Roy. Those are both extremes in opposite directions.

Vilardi seems like a reasonable request but the salary add is certainly not Matty Roy. Kempe is just another level of size and speed and impact. Zero chance the Kings entertain that.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Ive seen Bratt’s name mentioned in other threads.

If devils fans do want to move on from him then maybe a shakeup trade for Cat? Even the trade out with picks or players?

I don’t think the Sens should go for picks in this deal. Try to get a similar caliber player back if possible and even add depending on how much

Not really interested in Debrincat, but if they end up backed into a corner trying to get a ready contributor to recoup assets when Bratt doesn’t re-sign, he might be the only option. But then again, Debrincat probably wants even more money than Bratt so doesn’t really make sense.

Ottawa would need to add.

You can argue about DeBrincat value, but he is still not needed in LA.

DeBrincat in 32 less games played has over a hundred more points.
