Proposal: Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic]

[SpezDispenser]

He was a former 16th OA pick that is developing... Going to a rebuilding team just turned 22. They still have 9 more picks in this years draft and are guaranteed to get a stud at 5. Its exactly how you should be managing assets. What you dont do is trade picks for players that will leave in a year when you are in a rebuild.

Well, yeah, you don't do that either. You do neither.

Brad Pitt did dump Aniston for Jolie.

Well, in the context of my comment being all the same, maybe this pokes a hole in it. You've got a couple bigger assets to enjoy with Angelina.

Boing!

On the one hand, I understand these connected national reporters/insiders need to answer questions in a way that implies knowledge. And on the other hand, most of what they say is as close to saying nothing without saying nothing.

Good work if you can get it.

 

[Sensinitis]

If Newhook can get a late first and early 2nd, bodes well for our DeBrincat return.

Thanks Montreal

Exactly.

We should have been the team looking at trading for Dach and Newhook.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Boing!

She was a killer back in the day for sure.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Exactly.

Really? Because we got Shane Pinto with a 32nd OV pick and I kind of like him.

 

[Ouroboros]

Detroit not the front-runner for DeBrincat, but still involved.
A few other teams have stepped up.
Dorion 'needs' a 1st round pick as part of the deal but views a 2024 pick as equal to 2023.

 

[BankStreetParade]

Good work if you can get it.

f***, no kidding. Plus, your employer flies you around the country and the world, pays for your hotel and transportation, meals, wardrobe allowances, cellphone, internet, etc. And all you have to do is answer questions in a roundabout, non-definitive way.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

See some of the people Meth is following on Twitter. Truly a pathetic human being. I emailed Bell Media and TSN probably wont get him cancelled but its fun to have a Karen moment.

Did he beat you up on Twitter?

Everyone seems to think their opinion of what is politically correct is the only way to live.

I'd take 2024 unprotected over any 2023 pick that's realistic to acquire.

Has zero impact on each other

@SensHulk
Even the MOD is chiming in!

Get him!

How do you like Lassi Thomson at 22 and JBD at 26.

Get over it already.

Best news I've heard . I hope its not a Dorion leak to inspire interest

As much of a fan as I was of the DBC trade at the time, if PD traded a high first for a guy he had no indication wanted to extend here, that's a giant faux pas(again). It's not like we were ready to be a playoff contender yet and it was time to go all in.

Now that we are on the cusp of being contenders, we're likely to trade DBC for scraps, and there doesn't appear to be a proper plan to replace his production in the top-6?

Fire this guy ASAP.

I'm sure its close to the top in the TODO list

 

[SpezDispenser]

Less than I like Zack Ostapchuk, Ridley Greig and Tyler Kleven at 39, 28 and 44.

 

[BondraTime]

Newhook is extremely, extremely likely to be better than all those guys.

This year is a stronger draft. If they can get anything in the top 15 this year they should do it all worthwhile top 10 picks. Its similar to 2020 when guys like Jarvis and Lundell went into the teens. If they do get 17 from Detroit one of those guys could slip.

I guess you didnt get the point.

 

[SpezDispenser]

What point? That drafting is a crapshoot? I get it, I'll take my chances.

Newhook is extremely, extremely likely to be better than all those guys.

Disagree. We'll see.

You cherry picked the best value pick the team has made in the last 5 years. Thats not how it works. Thats the point. Newhook is already playing, is already a good player and still has upside. I get it you dont like him for whatever reason. But the tools are certainly there and not hard to identify. If the tool box comes together he is going to be a really good player.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I like this move for montreal. They have some draft capital and Newhook will get a lot more opportunity to shine in Montreal.

two different situations completely wrt Debrincat regarding contract status ... hopefully get an up tick in trade talks

lol, you cherry picked 2 misses. I'd take my chances with the picks in a deep draft over a small forward who hasn't done much to justify his draft position and is due for a new contract, any day of the week.

Here's a big question: why did Sakic trade him and replace him with RyJo if he's that good? He's paying RyJo 4 million anyway, why did he do it?

I feel like Seattle is a place he could end up. I think he would be a good fit with Beniers. I think he needs to play with a guy with a great motor that can create off the rush but also do the dirty work. They have 3 seconds and a decent prospect pool.
