Trading the Cat

Created by: JordanCGrant
Team: 2022-23 Chicago Blackhawks
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 23, 2022
Published: Jun. 28, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Trading DeBrincat is an awful idea and shouldn't happen... If you trade DeBrincat you will end up trading Kane too by deadline. Given those parameters, I try to tear the team down to the studs (doubt this team would ever sell a single ticket) not sure how realistic any of the trades are as well.

If u swap Mercer and Holtz, it’s very realistic. With all Guadreau chatter tho, I think Devils look there or opt for cheaper option like Fiala

100 point players aren't cheap.

Cheaper to aquire. Not the contract. I'd ballpark them about the same.

Agreed. But 100-point players turning 34 and with a cap hit of $10.5 million in the last year of their contract are too rich for our blood.

This is half retained. And Kane hasn't slowed down at all.

Sorry, I didn't look beyond the trade box. And yes, he's still operating at an All-Star level. But those three futures are more important to us over time than the one year.

Devils decline. Wright is worth more than Debrincat and it's looking like it's a 50/50 chance he slips to 2

Yeah I mean Fiala will be cheaper to acquire than Cat. And in terms of deals, I think it will look like the following

- Gaudreau: 7x 10
- DeBrincat: 8x 9
- Fiala: 7x 7.5

I just think it's funny that not one person brings up that Fiala is the same size as Bratt and apparently we are trying to get "heavier". Gaudreau is smaller than him. So why knock on DeBrincat's size? He is also incredibly healthy (knock on wood).

NJD move makes sense, can be Mercer or Holtz. I like the LAK move also though I feel LAK would want an extension to understand what they will be looking at if they were to give up that and maybe more (with the extension)

I think Johnny and Cat probably get another .5 each but thats nitpicking.
