So essentially Hart+Konecny for Brannstrom and Forsberg. Not even close. You're at least 2 1st round picks short in the whole deal.

I'm guessing you glossed over DeBrincat. He fetches Philly a 1st and a 2nd

lmao how do you figure that

You honestly think that Brannstrom+Forsberg and a 1st and 2nd get you both Hart and Konecny? Sorry to spoil your parade. But since when do either Brannstrom and Forsberg have much value? Both Hart and Konecny by themselves would bring back a 1st and players much better than Brannstrom and Forsberg.

Because Brannstron+Forberg and a 1st and 2nd aren't getting you both Hart and Konecny. You'd be lucky to get a 3rd for Brannstrom and you won't get much either for Forsberg. Not enough for both players. Not even close.

Lmao he just completely missed the most important player in the deal

Debrincat gets more than a first and a third anyway. Looks like decent trade to me

This shows that you have no idea about Forsberg and Brannstrom. Not saying they have "great value" but you clearly underrate them

Forsberg has easily been Ottawa's best goalie in the last 6 years. He was 11th in GSAA last season, super close to Demko. He played close to Vezina candidate level. 0.917 SV% on a discombobulated defensive system is quite the feat. He was not as good this season but still was clearly better than Talbot. Ottawa's season slipped away when he got injured. If anything, I'd rather give up something like Joseph + 2nd than trade him

Brannstrom has been excellent. He's young, cheap and still has a lot of place to grow.

Among 231 D-men who played at least 300 ES minutes this season, Brannstrom is 51st in xGF/60 and 25th in xGA/60, on a team that struggled at ES, particularly defensively

And it's not like he had the benefit of playing with great players... he mostly played with Holden (then a bit of Zaitsev and Hamonic that is not fair here is I think Konecny has more value than DeBrincat

lmao does that mean that DeBrincat just isn’t a part of the trade, like you initially said?

I don't think Hart fetches a first. I actually think this is a very reasonable deal. It isn't anywhere near far fetched. Brannstrom is a much better player than you think. He'd fetch more than a 3rd. Forsberg is a good goaltender to replace Hart short term.

So it could end up being Hart & Konecny for a 1st, 2 x 2nds and Forsberg. I think that's quite fair.
