Player Discussion Alex DeBrincat

[Samboni]

I “believe” that EF is only guessing and isn’t relying on any inside info.

Is my ban over?!

 

[playasRus]

Would be great to get a nice RD prospect like Tuomisto but DET already thin on RD so doubtful.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Better be getting Berggren + a 1st at bare minimum if we're trading him to Detroit.

 

[GCK]

It will be tight fitting DeBrincat in by moving Joseph if we win in arbitration and he's only getting 7.65, if he's awarded another mil+ on top of that, idk if there's a way to make it work.

If Debrincat gets 8M we can sign Pinto at 1.25M and ship out Brannstrom. Obviously that’s not optimal but a Murray buyout would allow us to run a 21 man roster and begin accruing cap space.

 

[Loach]

To me he was baiting me for a response and potential opportunity to troll on our board. Again, the main board is where I have responded on trade topics with Wings fans. He can ask that question on the main board and i'm fine to respond.

Bait. Worm or minnow.

This is the Sens forum isn't it? You don't see Sens fans crashing into Wings forums to respond to everything that is said about the Sens.

Are you sure?

I’m thinking you might get disappointed.

 

[Dionysus]

My Guess: Cat, extended 5 years, 8m/year and Brannstrom to Det. Bos. 1st, Berggren, Soderblom, 3rd to Ottawa.

Friedman's beliefs are usually a sure fire thing.

 

[Loach]

Ottawa fell from 1st to fourth in the draft twice, and second to fifth once. So they were also shafted.

You mean saved from themselves

 

[Ouroboros]

Bruce at it again!

 

[Loach]

If they can't trade him, they should just waive him at that point & hope someone takes him off their hands & sign Tarasenko & Formenton & call it a day. This would fill two of their holes on LW & create a decent top nine.

It would be a big loss not getting something back, but he will only extend with Detroit & no one else wants to give up assets for a rental. I think this is the kind of thing that hurts the NHL & small market teams & pisses fans off that may have to be addressed.

If they get stuck with him next season I would almost want them to make him a healthy scratch until a decent offer is made or better yet send him to Belleville. If they are stuck with him he could get booed at every game by his own fans until he is moved & who could blame them. I wonder if that would move StevieY to do something more? I wonder how Leaf & Hab fans would feel about a really good player not wanting to re-sign there? They need to resolve this asap.

Say Formenton again. I dare you.

Guess he really wants to play for the Wings, also seems a little risky? His next contract will start when he's 30, so this might be the longest contract he gets...

The whole process was orchestrated by the player and agent to land him in the only market he was ever going to sign with. Keep that in mind when you see the return.

What happens when Bruce has to face reality?

He’s not wrong.

 

[SensHulk]

Good for DBC, I guess he really wants to get out of dodge but settling for 4-5 years now when you seemingly have an 8 year contract available from the sens seems just bad business. I’d even say taking the 1 year deal and trying again next summer is better. I guess Detroit was his final choice

 

[Ouroboros]

Say Formenton again. I dare you.

The year is 2028. Alex Formenton hasn't played in the NHL since 2021 but he's still somehow in every single mock roster that aragorn posts.

7.8?? What the

Bruce is just terminally online man

Happy wife, happy life?

Guy just wants to go home, can't fault him man. End of the day hockey is just a job, that's it

5’7 1 way players aren’t too valued around the league.
