Rumor: All about Alex DeBrincat -possible trade

[Redwing66]

I really think Yzerman has leverage in this negotiation, but at some point he needs to strike a deal - not too many DeBrincat type scorers wanting to come to Detroit right now.

What's his leverage?

What's his leverage?

Detroit is on DeBrincats wish list
Detroit has cap space
Detroit has young talent and draft picks
Ottawa has limited cap space needing to shed DeBrincat
Tarasenko deal in the balance

Hope Tarasenko will sign with Canes, and Sens have to add Fabbri.

I played Roller hockey with him and his brother Andrew, along with the hellebuyck bros (best friends with Connor’s Brother, Chris) for the past 6 years.

So what are we guessing is going to Ottawa in this deal? Don't we have to add a winger or some wingers, to clear some space for D Cat?

I doubt they would take on Fabs unless we added a higher pick so is it Kubs and/or Berggren?

Nah, Red Wings have the space already.

I have no idea of a deal structure. Mostly just fan speculation.

I can feel it in my bones, nothing’s going to happen today.

Best guess is Berggren and Boston's 1st

Best case is Fabbri, Biuim and a 2nd

Worst case is Mazar/Soderblom, Kubalik and a 1st

I have no idea why Fabbri is being mentioned. If I were Ottawa I would have zero interest. They need cap space to sign their guys and Tarasenko, so they would just want cheap young talent and prospects/picks. I'd think either of the following would be in the ballpark:

1) The Boston 2024 first, plus one of Berggren/Kubalik/Veleno, plus one of Soderblom/Lombardi/Buchelnikov.

2) A 2024 second, plus one of Berggren/Kubalik/Veleno, plus one of Soderblom/Lombardi/Buchelnikov, plus another prospect (Johansson/Buium maybe).

Now obviously Detroit would much sooner part with Veleno than Berggren. As the quality of the roster player goes up or down, the quality of the picks/prospects compensates.

Really, the only asset in all of the above that I'd prefer to keep is Berggren. But that means that he's the first thing Ottawa will ask for, so if the trade ever goes through, we'll see what they settle on.

Fabbri, I cannot see going with his long history with injury.

Lombardi? Hell no.

It won't be Berggren. I know this because everyone is saying it's going to be Berggren.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

As much as I want Debrincat on the Red Wings. I'm equally curious who or what will go the other way.

 

[jkutswings]

Lombardi? Hell no.

I'm not saying I'm shoving him out the door. But both sides have to WANT to make the deal, so Detroit will need to part with something of some value.

You happen to value Lombardi more than I do. I'm not optimistic about the transition from tearing it up on The Flint Firebirds to facing actual competition in the NHL. But it's fine to agree to disagree, since the point is not the individual player, but the concept of offering SOMETHING the other team actually wants, in exchange for a player that has already proven to score 30-40 goals a year in the NHL.

It doesn't have to be Lombardi. But you have to give to get.

The more I’ve thought about it lately the more I’m not on board with trading for him. I’d like a little more size if we’re gonna trade assets and draft picks to go along with 8 million salary. Not to say ADB isn’t a great player but not sure he’s what we need

This team is starved for a goal scorer. I don’t see how anyone can say he’s not what we need. This is the perfect storm of a player who fits a direct need, from Michigan, young, and wants to play here. As well in a cap strapped world where there is limited suitors. It’s crazy not pulling this off

I completely agree. It's not like he's 5'7" and the mentality of Marner. The guy mixes it up a little bit for his size, he tried to take it to Seider

I watched the Hawks a bit locally when they were fun to watch and he's a good player. You can have a guy on your team that isn't big and still have a physical team.

 

[sepster]

He wasn't the same player on Philly... is what I meant. He got a lot better for the flyers.

He seemed better because he was on a shittier team. You put Philly Primeau back on the Wings and he'd still be the frustratingly inferior player sitting behind Yzerman, Fedorov, Lidstrom, and (now) Shanahan that he was originally.

Hey Al since you are about to get paid, i have a couple of investment opportunities that im sure you will be interest in. Definitely NOT a pyramid scheme stuff!

It's not a pyramid, it's a funnel. All that' money is going to funnel right to you, baby!
