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

[TheImpatientPanther]

Happy for Ottawa fans, Dorion gets a lot of flack but had to work with a limited budget, seems he can spend and mortgage picks now.

Gonna hate to play this team for next 5-6 years as a Panthers fan.

Sens need a top 2/3 RD and to get a legit #1 goalie now?
Possibly buyout Murray or some other bloated deal?

 

[ViD]

so, is Kane available too ?

 

[Kalv]

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.

They might be looking for Bedard

 

[kthx]

Wow. Congrats Sens fans!
Maybe, just maybe they can sneak in playoffs.

 

[izzy]

what the hell is chicago thinking

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Making this deal without an extension plan is definitely a risk, but sometimes ya gotta take risks like this.

Losing only a first and second this year, and a third two years from now for a chance to have a ~40 goal guy now and in the future? I think that's worth the gamble.

 

[Duck Off]

Ottawa fans, now is your time. You guys don't win many trades, but this is a big win for you guys. Congrats!

One of
Connor Geekie?
Matthew Savoie?
Joakim Kemell?

and
One of
Danny Zhilkin?
Matthew Poitras?
Ivan Miroshnichenko?

and a 2024 3rd rounder(anywhere between 65th and 96th overall)

 

[starsfan4ever]

Trade threads are always filled with hyperbole and they never match reality. Good trade for both.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Holy shit

 

[NyQuil]

P.Kane going to Ottawa in a separate deal? He ain't scoring 40 again without him

We have a mini-Kane in Tim Stutzle who is closer in age.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Ottawa now has basically 1.5 years to convince DeBrincat to sign an extension there. I like the gamble, and he can be traded as a rental in 1.5 years if things fall apart to recoup the investment.

Chicago must love some players in the top 10 of this draft cause this really is not much more expensive than what I thought DeBrincat would get as a pure rental in 1.5 years.

 

[McShogun99]

They might be looking for Bedard

They get rid of Jones and Kane and they’re probably still in contention for Bedard. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kane gets moved this off season now.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

wow didnt see this coming at all - I hope Debrincat likes frozen tundra

 

[SML2]

Buy your Bedard Hawks jerseys now kids.

 

[LeProspector]

And Chicago fans wanted Jake Sanderson

 

[lomiller1]

Great trade for Ottawa. I have no clue what Chicago is after, unless they have a deal to trade into a top 3 pick.

Why would they want to do that? There isn't much drop-off from 1 - 15 in this draft. There is no clearly elite NHL player available but this looks like a good year to hold a pick in the 5-10 range.

 

[HarrisonFord]

wow didnt see this coming at all - I hope Debrincat likes frozen tundra

It’s cold in Ottawa in the winter but it’s not Edmonton/Winnipeg cold

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

The only way this makes sense from a Chicago perspective is if DeBrincat is dead set on testing UFA.
He may only be looking for a 2 year deal because he wants to reach UFA when the cap has a large increase.

 

[SML2]

Wow. Nice job Ottawa. Seems cheap for a 40g guy. Thanks for Byram but y’all really figured things out after that trade.

Blackhawks gonna suck this season. Trade Kane at the deadline with 50% retention for value.

Backslide for Bedard?

Dishonor for Connor.

Lol.

Keep telling yourself that! It likely won;t help the long-term butt hurt however.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Well done Ottawa, after what Chicago did I expect a few more years of karma for them yet, but that's a fleecing.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Remember yesterday when Habs fans were trying to say the Sens should trade the 7th for Anderson and Dvorak?

 

[CamPopplestone]

You hope a 7th overall becomes a DeBrincat, and he's still young and the right age to be a part of Ottawa's core. Even if the deal doesn't work out, I love it for Ottawa, this is exactly the risk you take when you're in their position
