Friedman: Hawks turned down trade offer on Debrincat (High 1st + Additional 1st as part of package)

[MarkovsKnee]

Why in the world would they do that? The only reason to even consider trading him is for a haul.

I thought they wanted to move him because they wanted to tank next season (finish bottom 3 anyway), and it's felt that will be difficult with him in the lineup. Plus, he'll cost $9m to resign and they didn't want two +$9m players on team as they rebuild. Kane & Toews contracts end next season.

It sounds like based on Friedman reporting Philly wouldn't include the 5th overall pick... unless it's a top 5 pick in any Trade negotiations chicago isn't selling ...

Now is not the time for victim shaming.

Starting to think all that talk about Davidson turning down all those supposed picks was nothing but a plant, and a bad one at that.

I also think DeBrincat signs a one year deal next year then gets outta Chicago as fast as possible.

They’ll either trade him or sign him long term. He’s a repeat 40-goal scorer and future captain. And they can tank with him next year — the team is terrible.

If Habs take Wright I think a deal gets done

So that was a lie...

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Likely from a playoff team/contender so the 1sts would be mid to late?

 

[Kcb12345]

So that was a lie...

Yup likely just trying to drive in better offers. You'd think a 1st + 2 2nds would at least be possible lol

Not necessarily. "High" has a loose definition. In listening to the radio spots and podcasts the insiders do, "high pick" is used to describe a 1st or 2nd round selection. A "high 1st" could have been a pick in the teens.

Now explain the additional 1st they didn’t get

 

[ClydeLee]

Now explain the additional 1st they didn’t get

7th + 2nd for say could be more than 15th plus next year's 1st on a team you think will be good. So he turned down 1 for another but it also could be a made up trade bit.

It's not a lie for sure.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Maybe they turned down 10 and 22 from Anaheim cause they are in the West?

 

[Tatar Shots]

Now explain the additional 1st they didn’t get

They took no contract back. The package could have included a cap dump

 

[sxvnert]

Gms use tools like Friedman to put trade terms out to the public/other gms.

Hawks are going to be joke for years

Trading within conference wouldn't be issue

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Maybe they turned down 10 and 22 from Anaheim cause they are in the West?

Or maybe 7th + 39th + 3rd is just a better package in Chicago's eyes?
