Someone posted on Twitter that the DeBrincat situation reminded them of the Dzingle one. In the sense that both players were offered lucrative contracts to stay in Ottawa, their agents advised against accepting the deal in favour of free agency and in free agency they got less than what they were originally offered by Ottawa - and substantially so at that.

Based on the insider trading segment. I am starting to sense that this dude is coming back on a 1 year deal.
That makes sense for sure. Can’t imagine there is much market for him.

Regardless of giving a list, I’d be surprised if DBC will sign with more than 1-2 teams, if at all. Then those teams would need to actually want to meet Ottawa’s needs, which I can’t imagine happening with the position they’ve put themselves in.

He wants to get to UFA at a much higher price point due to a 4-5 mill cap increase. If the Sens want to trade him for a 3 month playoff run, fine by him I’m sure. If not, he’ll ride into the sunset of 2024 UFA with a 7 year, 60 million dollar deal.

We were saved from Dzingel by Dzingel.

We can only hope to be saved from DBC by DBC because he is unlikely to be worth what we offered.

DBC is a 2LW without Kane, no one is going to give him the money we offered. Good player and definitely useful but I wouldn't want to sign him to more than 7 × 8.

Not sure Dzingel and DBC are on even ground at the battlefield of UFA.

So 3 UFAs .. that could potentially help the Sens if DeBrincat is moved
Tatar, Wood, (Bernier not sure of his health or how many games he's got in him)

I still can't believe how lucky they got with two lottery wins despite never truly being in the basement.
they can have a 100 lottery wins.

have you seen their forwards? not exactly a collection of NBAers??? They will be pounded.

Tough to really do anything with the rest of the roster in that case.

If you bring DeBrincat back at 8M then sign Pinto [~2.5], Brannstrom [~1.5], Sokolov [.9], JBD [.9] that leaves you about 2M in cap space. Probably can't even add a goalie in that case, and you're really counting on Ridly Greig being ready to contribute a lot. Parker Kelly still on the roster too.

Not sure I like that much.

Take what he can get .. a solid 3rd line roster player and a 2nd if that's all it is... and get on with it.

Apparently Klim Kostin is on the way out in Edmonton.

Plays heavy, hits and fights, adds some scoring pop on the bottom end of the roster. Nice Watson replacement. Some speculation that he's looking for a 3 year, 4.5M deal.

Not sure what we could offer them, but could be a fit.

The easy answer is bring him back but he's off the PP. Powerplay time is for players who are coming back because the long-term chemistry is important. If he wants his big deal post-Ottawa he's going to have to produce at even strength.

Sounds like they're losing miles wood too.
Wouldn't that be something if PD gets a pick in the low teens & drafts Mathew Wood RW & they sign his brother Miles Wood LW this off season. It could be an opportunity right now for some team to do just that & have the two brothers play together in future & what's really interesting is that one plays RW & the other plays LW & we just happen to have a big 6'3" centre looking for two good wingers to play with. :laugh: Wood - Pinto - Wood.
