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

[crashthenet]

Unreal. Front office foolery continues.

 

[Xirik]

But..but... Dvorak + Anderson for 7th OA was a waaaay better offer!

 

[leafsfan5]

I'm trying to understand this from a Chicago POV. DeBrincat is an electric, 40-goal scoring 24 year old who will still be an RFA in a year. Unless you're planning to rebuild for a LONG time he should be part of the plan.

Did something happen behind the scenes to make this make sense? I cannot for the life of me believe that they did this as a hockey trade.

My only guess is they're trying to force Kane/Toews out by doing a full tear-down

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Surprised the Hawks couldn't do better. Their strategy since last summers Jones trade is a bit of a head scratcher. Jones seemed like a revamp move where this looks like a rebuild move.

 

[NiagaraKraken]

Wow! If they add Giroux in free agency oh boy.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Ottawa really got one of the best goal scorers in the league for that…

if they play him and stutzle together I could see some damage being done

Ottawa takes one step to being a playoff contender.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

That's absolutely brutal for Chicago.

Giving away a top 7 winger in the league for...mystery boxes.

certainly not a top 7 wingers in the league but a very good player and a true sniper

 

[NyQuil]

On the Sens side, that's a lot for a guy who could walk in two seasons when the playoffs are nowhere near a certainty, no?

Well why get any talent at all then?

Maybe they are hoping to get closer with this acquisition.

 

[quackquackquack]

Thats...that's it? Good on OTT for jumping

 

[TMLeafer]

Nice get, Sens. Trading 7th overall always sounds steep but I think this is a good fit.

 

[Bcap88]

But I was told by chicago fans that it would take two first and an A prospect lmaoooooooo that’s why non of you guys are gm’s

Alllll in for Bedard.

Only way that this makes sense is if he was going to force his way into UFA in two years with arbitration.

 

[BLNY]

One year left at $9m real dollars. We'll see if the Sens can sign him. Meanwhile, the Hawks are clearly going for Bedard.

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

Whhhooooooooooooooo

 

[Captain97]

Ottawa may actually be scary if they get decent goaltending. With the Bruins likely taking a step back they could make the playoffs.

 

[Sol]

Dirt cheap

 

[HarrisonFord]

Interested to see if they’ll be able to pay him the $10M AAV deal he will need after this season.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kane to Buffalo now?

 

[ReLyT]

As a Hawks fan, I hate this
guess what BEST CASE SCENARIO is for the 7th overall pick? .... Debrincat
Should've been able to get more at 23

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Goes to show that people on HF know f*** all about a players value in trades.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Alllll in for Bedard.

Those kind of moves are exactly how bad franchises stay bad.

 

[Burnie97]

Coming from a Leaf fan. Great value there for Ottawa.

Sens are going to be getting much better. It'll be fun to see the rivalry pick up again.

What would Stan Bowman do? Not this trade! This seems like a scorched earth to me.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I would have been happy with a high first and a top prospect.
Disappointed in this return.
