Resign Cat for 2 years

Created by: SensFanFromTO
Team: 2023-24 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 25, 2023
Published: Mar. 25, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Cat should be signed to a two year deal, no more.

Sens will need cap room for Sanderson and Pinto and possible large AAVs to Greig, Soogard, Kleven if they develop to their potential. Not to mention trying to resign Chychrun in two more years.

Sign Cat to two years now, front loading the first year above his QO, will allow Sens to reevaluate and have room for our current prospects and pending UFAs.

This just makes sense. Do it Pierre.

It’s either he’s willing to sign long term, or he’s getting traded. He’s not signing a two year deal when he could take $9m and then get big term and dollars in free agency

don't see why he'd take a two year deal at that number when he can just take his 9mil QO

Cat can take his 1 x $9,000,000 QO and be done with it. No way is he taking no 2 x $8,500,000 offer from Ottawa. It's either in the 8 x $9,000,000 range or his 1 x $9,000,000 QO and be done with it. Nothing in between.

All incorrect. Front load it on Y1 above QO to incentivize two year deal. Sens do not want to commit any longer than that. Done.

I also don't think that ANYONE gives him 7x $9M AAV, regardless of whether his QO is $9M. If it comes to RFA and shopping around, I don't think the Sens match anything $8M AAV and up - but I don't think he'll get anyone to offer it either.

I completely agree that the Sens shouldn't (almost can't) sign him long-term unless the cap goes up significantly.

I don't think there's any way that he agrees to 2 years unless it's for at least $9.5M AAV, likely more than $10M.


If Debrincat wants to maximize $$ after a bad season this year, he signs his QO and hits FA in summer 2024. If he wanted security he could have signed an extension any time this season, so I expect he'll not sign an extension, Sens offer QO, then he starts talking to other teams and we end up with one of 3 scenarios:

1. Debrincat plays for the QO of $9M (will likely happen if no teams meet his salary demands - could lead to a deadline trade next season)
2. A team makes an offer sheet and Sens don't match
3. Debrincat is traded with long-term extension
