Frozen Failure
They got business in my hockey, and I hate it.
I don't think getting guys who give the puck away more than they get the puck back are the guys you want on a winning squad.

I read somewhere else about Dallas and debrincat but never gave it much thought. The cost is too much to get him and to sign him. What is he asking for? What does Ottawa want in return? No Johnston, Stankoven, Bourque, or Harley. Which does not leave much going back to Ottawa.
If he only wants to be traded to two places that should drastically lower his trade value but what does it matter if we can’t afford him anyway?

Tanev would be solid assuming he stays healthy, but good lord that list is like a thousand bad stereotypes of "analytics merchants" all packed into one tweet.
If Dallas swings for a big trade like that, they're more likely to be in on Karlsson than DeBrincat. Especially if San Jose can bring his salary down to $8-ish million as has been reported.

CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE JIMMY
Seriously though, absolutely no room for Debrincat without some seriously creative trades (Marchment, Faksa) and dumping guys like Suter and Miller.
I think D should be the focus anyway, and for forward trust on contributions from Bourque/Stank though I'm sure at least one will get anchored to Seguin.
A better season from March would be great, at least to help make up for the Benn dropoff that will likely come.

If a signed Debrincat is coming back, Bourque and/or Harley are easily available.

I'd rather not move Harley for Debrincat. We need cheaper D that can play in our top 4. Bourque I'm ok with moving
Something with Bourque and Marchment, Unless some miracle happens and Seguin ends up in Ottawa lol
Having a top 6 with Hintz, Jrob, Johnston, Debrincat, Stankoven and whoever is pretty solid
I'm only trading for Debrincat if he's signing under 8 a year. He's not better then Hintz or JRob

Ah so DeBrincat is this offseasons big name player we are rumored to be in on huh. Nill won't do that deal. Probably just coming from DeBrincat's rumored list of teams he'd be okay with
I have no idea how a deal like that would even work cap wise, but I'm sure Nill has no interest in working any cap gymnastics. He will keep it simple I'm sure this offseason, plus there are other teams who can fit DeBrincat in + have the draft pick assets to do so. Highly doubt we trade a prospect

Count me in on Karlsson. Toss em Bichsel, Dellandrea, Miller, and some good picks. Those trades always end up being quantity for quality.

He doesn't reveal his source, nor would I expect him to. Seravalli has been in on a lot of stuff, made me look dumb on the Bishop front, so I'm okay with him.

I'm guessing but Shapiro is likely assuming he is willing to sign an extension to these teams.
Imo it'll be Nashville or Detroit. I'd give even Vegas a better shot than us with how unwilling they are to let the cap stop them

They're really dragging this Suter buyout window out. Just get it done with already.
It would be painful to move WJ, Borque, or Stank for Alex DeB, but, with our window, if we could afford it, that might make some sense for both sides.
I don’t have a problem with his credibility but he just repeated what Garrioch said and that is was “believed” the Stars are on his list. But his list had quite a few teams on it if it’s believed to be true anyway. Trying to find reasons to not be excited at all because I don’t see DeBrincat as a Nill priority. We’ll have to see what happens with Domi first.

Nothing to be excited about, Nill has never made the kind of moves that would be needed to fit Debrincat, and he probably shouldn't either.
Hell he won't even buy out Suter, which is going to be his biggest mistake since drafting Gurianov in the 1st round and it's almost as easy a choice as drafting Barzal/Connor was
