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

[FF de Mars]

Devils fans wanted Debrincat for their 2OV, nice job Ottawa to get him for your 7OV. He will bring skills to your tough team.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I do think the Sens got ripped here, but they make really bad draft picks the odd time. Very mixed feelings on this trade.

And now the Atlantic gets stronger yet again. f*** off

I get that Florida and Tampa are good but:

Boston - Marchand and McAvoy out half a year each and Bergeron is a UFA debating retirement, Rask just retired.

Tampa - just traded McDonagh as a cap dump

Toronto - going to lose their starter for the second year in a row and might be running Mrazek-Murray or Mrazek-Fleury.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

If the Sens can get Giroux in free agency it would help push them to a playoff contender maybe as a wild card team out of the Atlantic division.

So, he got a 1st, 2nd & 3rd that's it!

 

[Little Psycho]

Lmao Chicago was asking for the moon from LA. How about that

 

[KrisLeturnover]

Happy 4 Ottawa

 

[robertmac43]

Imagine making the Seth Jones trade and then a year later you follow it up wit this .....

 

[Maurice of Orange]

So, he got a 1st, 2nd & 3rd that's it!

Yea that’s it, 7th overall pick, the 39th overall pick, and a 2024 third-round pick.

Chicago also owns their own 38th pick in the 2nd round so they could try to package the 38th and 39th picks in a trade for move into the bottom of the 1st round this year.

 

[Stickpucker]

Jones must be so happy to be in Chicago right now.

Kane at 50% for 2 2nds anyone?

-Chicago gm

 

[TheFamousFart]

Why didnt montreal give up their 1oa or njd their 2oa for him? would have been a great trade by both. amazing steal for ottawa

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Wow incredible trade for the Sens. Congrats to their fans!

 

[D Wakaluk]

Rink rat stole Toews lunch money or something?

Such a stupid trade, wow.

Chicago you suck on every level.

So much for two 1sts and more ....

My guess teams were unwilling to offer that much considering he's 2 years away from UFA. He has a $9m QO and arbitration rights. He can easily walk himself to free agency in 2024.

So Senators risk is they might have just given up #7 pick for 2 years of Debrincat.

 

[D1az]

For now I'm definitely filing this under "I really don't have any f***ing clue of what is going on".
Might have to watch s number of takes on this to help it make some sort of sense.

 

[devils29]

Once again, just shows you how WILDLY people on HFboards overvalue superstars and think a team will have to give up every good asset in their system for them...

 

[PromisedLand]

If sens are not able to sign him that is one massive overpayment for 1 year

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Trading RFA Debrincat will be easy to recoup what they paid for if he doesn't re-sign
There's no downside no matter how you put it

They’ll get value back for sure. But the 7th overall pick+ seems pretty fair for DeBrincat especially if it’s just a year of him.

 

[Viqsi]

And Cole Sillinger. Can't forget about him.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

he’s amazing but too 5’7 wingers on the habs? I dunno I think I stick with the center. Think he’d look good on Jersey although they probably want size aswell

Who says they won’t be able to resign him? Lots of promise in Ottawa. You’re paying for a year of him + his rights and a chance to sign him long term. No way this really backfires on the sens I hate to say

 

[CornerStone61]

2 years. He's signed for one more year and then is an RFA, can take a 1 year deal in arbitration to walk himself to UFA but if it's clear Ottawa can't resign him then they can just trade him at that point to recoup most if not all of what they gave up

 

[Nick Hansen]

A two-time 40 goal scorer for that and he's only 24? Great trade by the Sens.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Ottawa all of a sudden has a pretty good top 6. damn nice trade, exactly what they needed

 

[DrDangles]

He's an RFA at the end of next season. Worst case scenario is he accepts a 1 year qualifying offer and plans to hit FA in 2024 which gives Ottawa time to trade him and recoup assets.
