@benjiv1 can you back up new sens source Dan Tait?

Dan T is the new Randy T.

dan is at least claiming some source of connection. randy came out of nowhere and was like “sens in on klingberg”

He’s citing a ‘friend of a friend’ which is always dicey but I honestly believe there is truth to this. New ownership would want him signed so this is Anna and Olivia giving Pierre a chance to impress new ownership, as Anna and Olivia are keeping a legacy share somewhere around 10% of the team and I would assume would like to have Dorion kept as GM.

im
not saying it’s not dicey. but he’s at least claiming something. randy didn’t even do that.

i love rumour so i automatically believe. i don’t think a resigning has anythinng to do with a sale. so i agree this can very well happen before a sale. pro sports is fast moving teams arent just going to freeze and wait for a sale to continue business.

The last thing new ownership would want is a gigantic 60 million dpllar deal signed before they are even in, especially seeing most are likely/already looking to bring certain guys in management roles.

From the newest insider himself:



With ownership unclear, there are no extensions. DBC will reportedly wait for new ownership before deciding on an extension. That makes sense for both parties.

While I agree with you that new ownership will bring in possibly entirely new management I think that the new owners, whomever they may be, would want DeBrincat signed long term.

Dicey for him, not you. He’s gotta eat that on Twitter forever if it doesn’t pan out. Hahaha.

I just love DeBrincat. He’s such a complete player and loath the thought of losing him. DJ coached him so poorly last year, it is my biggest criticism of last season I think.

They very well may, they also may not, they certainly wouldn't want a deal signed before they are given the keys

For all we know, Staios/whomever a group wants to bring in may have other ideas for 60 million.

One thing I would think is certain, is that they wouldn't be pleased that a huge deal like that was done a week prior to them getting in, that makes absolutely no sense

Not to mention, the guy already back tracked and said he heard nothing

 

[Micklebot]

Eh, I'm sure they'd also prefer not to be saddled with an accepted 9 mil QO walking him to UFA.

It really comes down to the contract imo. 8 years of DeBrincat can be an asset at the right price, or an anchor at the wrong one,

It comes down to a lot more than the contract. The owners may/likely want to be in place for decisions that will be effecting the team long term. They may want to have their own voice on these matters. They may want their own people and processes in place for these decisions. Their own people may have a different plan on building the team than has been in place the past 10 years.

I can't imagine a single scenario where new ownership would be pleased with something like this happening a week before they are given the keys.

It's a moot point regardless as the insiders source got confused with a SensBuzz meme and former Sens alum...

Here's the thing though, the decision not to sign him now is just as much a decision with long term implications as the decision to sign him.

If new ownership wants to keep him, how do they feel about being stuck with a 1 year 9 mil contract walking him to UFA. What if they found out he could have been signed to a team friendly deal, either way there's the potential ownship coming in won't be happy you did or didn't do something a week prior.

They would likely just sign him to an 8 year deal when they get in?

If he's willing to sign an 8 year deal now (he isn't yet obviously), he'll be willing to sign an 8 year deal in a week when new ownership arrives. Unless for some strange reason the current ownership group, or lack thereof, is the reason for DBC signing.

If he's content on getting his QO, he's not going to sign an 8 year contract now.

If new ownership is going to be here prior to the start of June, I'd be willing to bet a new GM will be coming. As well as a June 15th elected Arbitration to give them another month and a half with DBC.

Can't sign a deal until January if he accepts his QO. If they are telling him he has to wait till new ownership is decided, along with all the uncertainty that comes with that, does he hold off accepting the QO not knowing if they'll offer him a deal at all or just try and trade him somewhere he might be even less comfortable with?

If ownership isn't settled before he has to decide on a QO, it will really cause issues. Hopefully they get at least to the prefered bidder option and they can move forward with some insight on the direction new ownership wants to take on the premise that the BOG will approve the sale. But I'm not taking anything for granted at this stage.

randy still undisputed

They don't need to offer a QO when they elect for Arbitration on the 15th. That's in lieu of a QO.

If new ownership is being announced in the coming week or two, there is more than a month prior to him receiving a QO. If he was willing to sign a deal now, he'll be willing an another week.

If he isn't agreeing to a deal, he's likely traded at the draft regardless, by whichever owner or GM. If they decide to roll the dice on a 1 year deal, he's essentially a rental.

Dan T can’t even hold Randy’s jock. Embarrassing.

I was actually with my “source” on Wednesday.

Team is currently in their marketing and brand strategy meetings, prepping to present for new ownership, so I honestly don’t expect anything major to happen prior to New Ownership.

However, might have heard something on that front, that I’m not sure if I am allowed to share all the details. But let’s go with… there was a really funny interaction with one of the bidders and their “proof of financial stability”.

Basically sounded like they screenshotted their bank balance, and it was enough to pay outright.

Well darn. I had seen the comments on IG about how many new pairs of shoes Archie was getting for his birthday and hoped the two correlated.

You think the Oilers will beat new ownership to Staios?

This sounds like Apostolopoulos. He has that type of money and didn’t he just bid $6Billion for an NFL team.

Doubtful. Holland said he's coming back next year, and he did a great job this past season even considering the flawed Campbell signing, so you'd think Staios is on the sidelines at least one more season.

 

[trentmccleary]

That's crazy to imagine. I would think that most of these guys have their money tied up in real estate, investments, companies, etc. There probably aren't that many with that much liquidity.

This is why we don’t trust random internet guys that have never called anything in the past

What’s a clown

 

[Senovision]

I would like to see more of a playoff/ tough hard to play against preferably right shot defenceman added to our top 4 defence. Or at least at a minimum in our bottom pairing defense we need an upgrade in physical play.
We need at minimum one defenceman that opposing teams really fear because he is nasty. We need that one defenceman because it will make every player on our team play BIGGER with him in the lineup and keep the other teams honest.
Chychrun to Florida for Montour
Zub and Joseph to Calgary for Andersson
DeBrincat to Arizona for Crouse


Tkachuk Stutzle Batherson
Crouse Norris Giroux
Killorn Pinto Formenton
Kelly Kasty Watson Gauthier

Chabot Montour
Sanderson Andersson

Can’t see it happening unless they move one of Zub or Chabot.

I doubt they’d mess with the room by moving Chabot.

Zub maybe but you’d have to find a team willing to move a rare specimen like you’re looking for.
