Confirmed Trade: [OTT/CHI] Alex DeBrincat for 2022 1st and 2nd round picks (7 and 39OA) and 2024 3rd round pick

[Empoleon8771]

The Hawks effectively traded DeBrincat, Boqvist and the #12 overall pick for Seth Jones. Yikes.

Live look at BlackHawks fans

wow, not two 1sts. That is pretty solid for Ottawa. Chicago better get a good player in the draft.

How the f do you go from almost trading down from 7th to move the Murray contract, only to have him not waive, to using it to get a top winger...

Biggest save Murray made as a Senator.

 

[viper0220]

wtf is Chicago doing. They traded a 25 year old 40 goal scorer for picks.

24 year old 40 goal scorer.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Love this for the Senators.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Name a better one. I'll wait.

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Hyman, Kapanen, Brown is one you might be familiar with.

The Hawks effectively traded DeBrincat, Boqvist and the #12 overall pick for Seth Jones. Yikes.

That reads like a Jim Rutherford trade tree.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

On Chicago's part, this deal screams "we just want the highest first round pick we can get in this draft". Good luck with that

 

[crashthenet]

Seth Jones now looks like OEL. Hopefully the money makes up for the losing. At least his mediocre brother is still there.

Tkachuk Norris Batherson
Debrincat Stutzle Formenton

???

That’s starting to look like a playoff team to this Avs fan.

That’s a playoff level top six for sure. Go get a legit goalie.

 

[hamzarocks]

I'd definitely take Kane over Debrincat.

But they did deak their 2nd best player

 

[Artemi Panarin]

I think Chicago severely undervalued Debrincat. Especially getting picks from a weaker draft year.

Does any team have a better young group of a top-6 than this? I honestly can't think of one.

Pinto is gonna do some damage this year as well I reckon

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Bad deal for Chicago ugh.

Bowman and Toews f***ed the franchise

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Neat

 

[Dion TheFluff]

massive trade. Good for Ottawa

 

[La Bamba]

24 year old 40 goal scorer.

24 year old 2x 40 goal scorer.

 

[viper0220]

lol no kidding look at Gaudreau. Debrincat has 2 40 goal seasons. Is he even 25?

​

Debrincat is 24 years old.

 

[egelband]

The issue is they need to sign him.

Yeah. Makes sense. I see Debrincat is owed $9m this season and then will need a long-term deal, probably around $7m AAV. Got it. Seems like a win-win. Not to mention Ottawa should be pretty good this year, so it’s good for Debrincat too.

 

[lomiller1]

Uncharacteristic of Ottawa to open up the checkbook this way. $9 million in real $ this coming year his Qualifying offer needs to be at least $9 million, so he's probably expecting more than that on a long term.

I'm not sure he's as productive in Ottawa, he could end up being overpaid. The return should have been firsts but not 2 firsts where Ottawa usually drafts. Overall not a great deal for the Hawks but I can see it turning out bad of the Sens as well if he's only 30 goal 60 point guy earning $9+ million AAV.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I saw this on Twitter and thought it was a fake account because it was that bad.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Bad deal for Chicago ugh.

Bowman and Toews f***ed the franchise

hahaha....the guy who did yeoman's work in bringing Chiraq 3 cups after a huge drought "f***ed the franchise"

I love this website

 

[McShogun99]

I don’t understand what Chicago is doing. If you’re trying to rebuild then the most important pieces are young stars with potential like Debrincat, Strome and Dach. They should be looking at moving the older players like Kane and Jones.
