Rumor: Hawks thinking of trading Debrincat

[TheDachKnight]

We arent getting 3 1sts for Cat

I see us likely getting around that in terms of value, but with it being a 1st this year, maybe a 1st next year, and a prospect that has 1st round value.

Then they should keep him.

You guys just keep talking in circles.

It's 35 pages of this. I don't get it.

That's showbiz, baby. Sweet dreams, you gentle princes. Put a cat and a puck under your pillow tonight and KD will come and replace them in the dark of the night with draft picks for you to enjoy in the morning. xo

I think they could get Meier with a package starting with Holtz and ending with lesser prospects. DeBrincat would need #2 and Holtz/Mercer just to get started.

Grier is a new GM, Meier is his best player. He was their top scorer and best goal scorer at age 25.

good luck with that.


Devils know they have to give to get because everybody knows that they have young talent but may want to skip that development time to give Hughes his goal scorer now.

All of us today if we learn we got an underwhelming return for Cat:

It's every thread here.

Let’s go Kyle

We have nothing better to talk about

1) No 1st round pick
2) No rumors outside of Debrincat stuff
3) No RFA or prospect signings to talk about
4) Sox and Cubs are dismal
5) Bears are a few weeks away from camp for what should be a terrible team
6) Bulls appear set for another year as a playoff bubble team at best

If the Hawks trade DeBrincat, I'm done for a while. Regardless of the return. This team can't become any more unwatchable, and they somehow would be.

I also think the desire to trade DeBrincat reeks of desperation. A new GM trying to make big waves and put his fingerprints on the team.

How often do teams trading a guy like DeBrincat actually win those trades? What would be a comparable trade, even? Superstars in their early 20's almost never get traded.

HUH?

I don’t love how fixated KD is on getting a 1st for tonight. That desperation could lead to a mistake.

Cat is a star, you can build around him.

7OA and a decent prospect isn’t enough.

This has rookie GM mistake written all over it.

I don’t read too much into what GMs say publicly.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Has KD even said much publicly?

I don't even recall him speaking to press recently

he met with some chicago beat writers in montreal and basically said a whole lot of nothing - there have been talks for a lot of players yada yada

What's so weird about the NHL is that the timeline of the top 10 pick value trade is right now, got to be before a team uses that pick.

The other NA sports don't have this oddityz NFL drafts then trades from time to time, NBA does it a Lot, and MLB you can't trade picks before taken I believe.

I can't think of any major trades right after a pick was taken in the nhl which is dumb

Chicago Sky is kicking the ass in the WNBA. So there's that.

If you're talking about NBA style drafts a guy and trade him minutes later nonsense. Thank God it isn't part of NHL

That is some of the dumbest shit

Infact NBA trades overall are idiotic with trading of picks 8-9 years off and the conditions put on picks, etc and how many trades are made just to buy guys out for future cap room and other nonsense which usually leads to team with cap room still failing to land stars, etc (Knicks spent years doing this crap)

This past NFL draft was the first really active player trade draft which was surprising and had a few big deals made. If NFL player trades become more regular part of draft that will only make it again far and away the best draft in sports

Chicago Sky is kicking the ass in the WNBA. So there's that.

I am sure the 5 fans + family of players in stands are enjoying it

They don't happen right after, but they do happen right before.

For example let's say Ottawa wants to trade #7 to DeBrincat, they probably won't make that trade until after pick #6 is made. Why? Maybe Cooley is available at 7 due to size and therefore they decide #7 is suddenly more valuable.

No need to be ignorant. I've actually enjoyed watching them after their playoff run and championship last year. Don't watch them often, but I have watched them this season.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

The Sky’s cheapest ticket is 40 bucks.

The White Sox cheapest ticket is 5 and they still can’t sell out.

Don’t the White Sox still have those “bring a can of soup, get into the stadium “ deals?

Phoenix is supposedly in love with Cooley. Would be shocking if he dropped past them.

It's just an example.

My point being is people are wondering why a DeBrincat trade hasn't happened yet, but the reality is teams are probably going to wait and see how the draft unfolds before they trade their picks, because maybe a guy they love falls. Or conversely Chicago might not want to trade DeBrincat for a pick in the 7-9 range because there's nobody there they love.
