Sure wish there was a way we could pry DeBrincat out of Chicago. Bet the cost would be obscenely high.
We might as well be talking about trading for Barzal out of NYI or Keller out of Arizona. Not a Fing chance. Unfortunate because so many teams slept on him but this guy always had tons of obvious skill. If only Bennett was even close to his level offensively we'd be laughing.
Anyways, I know stone isn't available, but at this point I think we should just throw the moon at the senators.
Gillies, Bennett, R. Andersson, and Dube for Stone. That's 4 1sts worth of value. One potential starter goalie with great AHL numbers, one struggling forward that has shown flashes of brilliance and might be a good cost controlled asset if he can turn it around, a 21 year old right handed swedish defender AHL allstar, and the most recent captain of Canada's world junior team. How can you not think about that? Hoffman is having more success with their "centre of the future" duchene lately as well. He'll stay for cheaper, making eugene happy and giving him more money to keep his real kahuna EK. Meanwhile, we get the piece we are desperately missing up front.
