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

[LickTheEnvelope]

... that's a terrible trade by the Hawks

 

[HugeInTheShire]

So much for 2OA, next years 1st, Mercer plus Holtz as a start.

Why do fans continually think players will return massive packages? They're just setting themselves up for disappointment.

 

[Telos]

Seems like a weird trade, you don't see players like Debrincat traded for a handful of picks and nothing else that often. It almost seems like an EA NHL trade you make on day one of GM mode The value isn't horrible, but that is a lot of future hope there. You would think they would want one definitive prospect/player coming the other way... Good trade for Ottawa.

 

[jaysoneil]

I'm think Debrincat must have some unknown baggage. Like, everyone knows he wants to be a UFA ASAP and just get the biggest possible paycheck. Or he's an alcoholic. Or some deep character flaw...

I claim no inside knowledge. This just can't be the best offer unless the kid is "damaged goods" somehow.

Or he's coming back to Chicago when he goes UFA.

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

Ever heard of Tim Stutzle? He's one of the only players in the NHL who's play style is similar to Kane's, and now he gets to feed a 40 goal scorer instead of Connor Brown...

 

[KevinRedkey]

Yeah I think it ranks slightly ahead of Gretzky, Kurri, Messier, Anderson.

Were they all really that young? Damn... yeah that's not close.

Point stands though. Still an impressive group in the cap era. Especially since they are all proven to an extent.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

As a Sens fan, it’s not often you come out ahead in a trade, holy hell

They got more for Brandon Hagel

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I'm convinced he had no intention of re-signing with the Hawks. They had to get what they could for him now. It's the only way this return makes sense.

 

[Craig Ludwig]

Stützle is a very similar player to Kane, so maybe.

Stutzle is very similar to Kane????? You're not serious?

 

[Double Dion]

Not sure what Chicago is doing here. Bizarre trade. He should have returned substantially more.

 

[LMFAO]

Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Debrincat - Stutzle - Brown
Formenton - Pinto - Joseph

He is serious. He may love German players a bit too much.

 

[nammerus]

Feels incredible to see an absolute dog shit organization get bent over 2 summers in a row. Thank you Dorian!

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Ottawa is gonna be a problem for the east next year.b

 

[Zirakzigil]

Great deal by the Sens for a 40 goal scorer.

 

[Blueangel1891]

Sens know they have to pay him a salary, right?

 

[Saskatoon]

Mind you Joe Thornton was traded for spare parts players rather than picks but it feels a little like that TBH

Debrincat is a star

 

[TGWL]

I think there's a draft tonight. I think... Might watch. Maybe not...

 

[ClydeLee]

I'm convinced he had no intention of re-signing with the Hawks. They had to get what they could for him now. It's the only way this return makes sense.

The point of trading him now and not waiting is to he terrible to tank. This obsession with him signing isn't the point.

Some act like this team would be bad enough with him, it wouldn't. They still need work to do, yes they were awful and Fleury saved them last year... that was with JC/King and if you think they're so awful, obviously improvements will be made. So they have to actively try to be bad. You can't just let that pass in judgement

Who's in net? What does the defence looking?

 

[Mikeshane]

Ottawa are gonna be fun to watch this season.

5 wingers in their top 6?

 

[herashak]

Wow, good for Ottawa

 

[Speatleysson]

Stutzle is very similar to Kane????? You're not serious?

They have a similar playstyle... obviously Kane was better than Stutzle at the same age.

 

[Holymakinaw]

I wonder if young Debrincat will want to sign in Ottawa after his current deal expires? Or if the team stinks again and he's not having much fun, I wonder if he'll just take the QO and walk after one more year? Should be interesting.

 

[99ovr]

Stutzle is very similar to Kane????? You're not serious?

Style not impact, but who knows Stutzle definitely has 100+ point potential.
