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

[Neiler]

I'm a sens fan and I'd take Kempe for DeBrincat instantly. Much better fit for Ottawa, much better contract, and given his play the last couple years he seems to have taken a decent step. I wouldn't be expecting a repeat performance so much as he's been playing pretty prime minutes in LA as far as I'm aware but if he's good for 25G at that price with the game he plays sign me up.

Never been a fan of DeBrincat who I find is often just waiting at the side of the net with his stick cocked too often while plays crumble around him.

Why would Ottawa do that? Those players are boderline cap dumps. I dont want the sens to keep Debrincat because he doesnt make sense with their current contracts and roster construction. But for that trash atleast include a prospect or a pick.

I was responding to trade idea from another fan (Bjornar Moxnes)
It was his idea, not mine.

 

[kinghock]

Kings fans are usually pretty delusional so I wouldn’t get too worked up by it

Ottawa fans should look in a mirror before calling somebody else pretty delusional

 

[HoweHullOrr]

I mean...he had a pretty damn good summer. I'll take a 2.0

I guess it depends on the final analysis which depends on what the Senators get back if they move Debrincat. They gave up some good assets: 7th overall, 2nd, & 3rd.

I can see the Debrincat trade being characterized as impatient. It was just a one year deal with a questionable or uncertain 2nd year. A QO of $9m doesn't look particularly appealing given the Senators cap situation. It's fair to question whether that was wise given the stage the Senators were at (nearing the end of the rebuild, but not quite finished). And, the results of not making the playoffs with a young roster would bear that out. Maybe Pierre was worried about his job with new ownership on the horizon?

Debrincat was the big off season/summer signing as Talbot wasn't great.

I guess there was the early euphoria in the summer, but like a lot of things, you really need to wait a bit to see how things work out.

I would love him in Calgary but a few issues
1. He's gonna have to find a new number, 12 ain't coming out of retirement
2. he would need to be willing to sign a long term deal at under 8.5M, if a sign and trade is needed to bring down the cost like with Tkachuk then sure
3. Ottawa would need to be willing to take back almost exactly the same if not a bit more in cap but spread across a few contracts. ie Toffoli + Hanifin/Tanev + Vladar (or Vladar is moved elsewhere)

 

[StewieP19]

Why would Columbus do this?

They said in their post season review. They want to make playoff next year. Adding Debrincat I really think they will be close or in playoff

 

[BHawk21]

Pass. If he wants to go to Detroit, take the QO and they can talk next July.

is doesnt matter what he wants at the moment.

Haven't been following, why is he being traded?

If he doesn't want to sign long term in Ottawa, he sure as hell wouldn't sign long term in Calgary.

Assen na yo!

He’s an RFA with a minimum arbitration contract of 7.8 million and a QO of 9 million, who likely wants to teat the market.

Who’d have thunk that a little homework prior to trading away a 7th overall pick would have been a good idea.

Yikes thats a whole lot of $$$$$$. Sens should still get a good return.

 

[RickyLafleur]

7th overall pick, 39th overall pick and a future 3rd rounder

A lot of draft capital for 1 year of a good but non-premier player in a non-contending season.

Good luck recouping anywhere near that kind of value back for him.

Sens would've wasted that second-round pick on another Ben Roger-type player anyways.

 

[Dog]

Just trade him to Florida as their the Panthers and he has cat in his name. Another one be Predators that would fit well as well!

 

[norrisnick]

They've got three weeks to get it sorted.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

When is Snoop Dog taking over?

 

[HFpapi]

Pens fans keep talking about "going all in" as if they have any assets.

Well, here's your chance. 14th overall for The Cat even without extension or verbal agreement is probably as good as you're going to get.

Who is Snoop Dog?

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Who is Snoop Dog?

He's that super smooth dude that smokes a lot of weed and makes rap music?

Have I spelled his name wrong or something?

(Yeah I guess I did)

This will save you from some boomer comments down the road.

Not sure what you’re talking about, you just said who is he lol.

Maybe take 5 and read the exchange again.

OHHHHHHH it finally happened!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for so long to be called a Boomer!

Bless you.

My parents are Boomers, I am not.

I'm like......late Gen X.

Thank you so much though I'm not even joking.

Hahahaha, Boomer!

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I think Ottawa has players they like more and just fit what they are doing better and Debrincat will probably get them a player or players who will also fit better. Sometimes maximizing an asset turns out real good for you. Think Sens get a nice piece back who fits into the more 2 way game they are trying to play.

I am also not a boomer, but am frequently accused of being so when discussing Dua Lipa or whoever with my nieces.
