Value seems very good for Chicago. Greig might be worth almost as much as the 7th overall. His stock has shot up a lot since the Senators took him in the first round a few years ago. While not an exact science, Craig Button's top affiliated prospect list had him ranked 18th, just behind high draft picks like Rossi, Holtz, and Guenther.
It is not a fit for Ottawa. Debrincat has too much leverage because of his QO. Ottawa is unlikely to want to pay him 9M x 2, and then lose him to free agency after giving up BOTH Greig and 7th overall. They are also unlikely to meet what I would imagine his demands would be on a 7 year extension, which would include huge signing bonuses, and a NMC.
The only way I can see this remotely making sense for Ottawa is if they strike out everywhere else, and Chicago agrees to take Murray as part of the trade. Then Debrincat only costs Ottawa an additional 3 million in salary over the next two seasons.
