Weekes: Sens working to extend DeBrincat

[PatLaFontaineASMR]

And if he has a down year from not playing with one of the best passers and offense-generating forwards in the game?

No offense to Stutzle and Giroux, but they are not close to Kane.

Cat played mostly with Toews, Strome, and Kahun in 18/19 and put up 76 points (41 goals) in 82 games. He's already played well away from Kane.

The Landeskog special. What's wrong with 7M x 8 years? Is he better than Landeskog?

Anyone thinking 9.5M avv for this guy is smoking the real good stuff

I'd say yes, DeBrincat has shown to be better than Landeskog if not at least on par, while being 2 years younger than Landeskog was when he signed his 7M contract, while also signing with a looming salary cap boom. He's also got no ties to Ottawa to have any reason to give them a captain discount the way Landeskog did. I'd argue Landeskog was probably worth closer to a 8x8 anyways.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Barzal just set the baseline for forwards who are elite but not quite M. Tkachuk, gotta think it's about the same. 9-9.25M x 8 years

 

[Boud]

?/I’ll guess 8.75M but middle loaded with seasons of 10M.

Something like:

8M
8M
10M
10M
9M
9M
8M
8M

For 70M @8.75M per year.

That would be really good but I'd be surprised if he signed for less than his QO. I'm guessing we're looking at 9-9.25.

Term will be tricky here. Is he willing to sign here for 8 years already? I'm thinking he might want a 5 year deal to score another big contract before he retires. 8 year deal would be great for Ottawa though, would have him locked up for his most productive years with the cap going up 10M.

 

[Leafs87]

Is he working with them?

 

[BB88]

This is a really, really risky one. You sure you want to do that without seeing him away from Kane?

If they get him around 9M I don’t know how it could end up biting them.

Ottawa is loaded offensively (longterm) and todays superstar money is already 10-12M

 

[EK392000]

I'm expecting somewhere in the low 9s. Anything in the 8s is a win for the Sens. But that should be their last big contract they hand out. Need to start saving up for the rest of the roster.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

The Landeskog special. What's wrong with 7M x 8 years? Is he better than Landeskog?

Anyone thinking 9.5M avv for this guy is smoking the real good stuff

He is absolutely both better than Landeskog and quite a bit younger. Way more prime years being bought here.

He probably shouldn't get more than Tkachuk at 9.5M but certainly should get at least his QO of 9M

 

[Linds]

Gotta think $8 mil per at minimum?
Ottawa is gonna lock into this core for long term, better hope it finds some success.

I think his QO is 9m

 

[Boud]

If Sens can get this guy locked up for 7M avv, the contract will look fine.

Lmao good one!

If Oilers could've locked up McDavid for 10M that would've been great!

 

[Linds]

If Barzal got over 9m AAV. Don't see how Dcat doesn't get closer to 10m AAV, yes I know center compared to winger, but Dcat is the better player

Not a significant amount more... but I'd be curious to see point breakdown based on linemates.

I am not saying he can't produce away from Kane, just that I am sure his point totals and goal totals are inflated due to that.

 

[coladin]

This will be similar to Boeser as far as singing at something long term below his QO. How low? Not sure, but I can see two scenarios where he signs a 3yr extension or 7.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Y'all it's gonna be 10M

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

The Landeskog special. What's wrong with 7M x 8 years? Is he better than Landeskog?

lol 5 year difference while Debrincat has been a top goal scorer in the league since he started in the league.

 

[Altimus]

I'd like him to sign the same as Brady but doubt that's gonna happen.

Let's be honest here, I always see this used as a negative towards a player. "If he played away from player X, then he likely wouldn't produce as much". Right, playing with an elite players compared to lesser players will generally always result in better stats. That's just logic.

If Patrick Kane played with Max Domi and some other dude all year instead of with Debrincat, he would undoubtedly not do as good over a full season. It's also not all players who can do well with good players, some guys just don't have the talent and IQ to play with top line caliber players so a player that can produce with elite guys is a pretty good quality to have.

That said, Debrincat is a very good player on his own, and has always been. Debrincat will be playing with very good players in Ottawa. He will constantly play with a combination of Stutzle/Norris, Batherson/Giroux. I doubt his production takes a material dive with these players.

 

[Taluss]

Love what Ottawa has been doing

 

[Foppberg]

I’ll guess somewhere between 8.8-9.3

 

[Golden_Jet]

The Landeskog special. What's wrong with 7M x 8 years? Is he better than Landeskog?

Anyone thinking 9.5M avv for this guy is smoking the real good stuff

Well everyone seems to thinks that but you lol.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He's great player. Get hm locked up to poop on the narrative Americans don't want to play in Canada!

 

[Golden_Jet]

I think his QO is 9m

He can sign for whatever’s he wants , the QO offer is only a 1 year thing to keep his rights.

 

[SensontheRush]

4 x $10m? or the Sens special, 4 x $9.95m?

 

[Face Of Bear]

He wont be taking a penny less than Barzal, that's for sure.

 

[Voight]

Shouldn't be anything less than 9.5/year IMO
