McBain for a 4+ million offer sheet? His potential isnt that high

It's the KK move... You offer him a super high 1-year offer sheet so that Arizona doesn't match and then you negotiate a more reasonable deal the next off-season when you hold his RFA rights.

sure but what even says he is going to be worth 2.5-3 million down the road? he looks like a 4C. why waste assets on a 4c?

A rental, #30 overall and a 2025 3rd is not getting you DeBrincat.

Sorry.

thankfully

I mean he's a full season he put in 12 goals, and brings a bite the Hurricanes need. 12 Goals are more than enough for a bottom-six player.

only way i see that trade going through is if teuvo signs extension

I mean I've seen multiple ACGMs in which Sens fans make this exact trade. Tuevo fixes a need for you and he can give your team leadership

4th line players are a dime a dozen in the league. its big waste of money and a 2nd rounder with no top 6 projections. KK still had projections from 2C to 1C at that point.

I have a feeling many of those ACGMs involved selling off DeBrincat for pennies on the dollar.


Ottawa will give you DeBrincat for Teuvo + Canes' 2024 1st + Flyers' 2024 2nd.

That's assuming no extension for Teuvo.

He's a power forward who's only had two years in the league... He still has room to grow. The profile from his draft class basically says that he has all of the tools of a top-line center. He reminds me a lot of Tom Wilson in his play style.

Yeah that seems fair tbh. My problem with DeBrincat is the large QO and the potential chemistry with Svech and Aho

We are taking DeBrincat to arbitration and he could receive as low as 85% of his QO.

So, as opposed to 9 million, he would get 7.65 million instead.

That's fair enough... I forgot that you guys request arbitration

that is meaningless. If Cat isnt traded before arbitration and signed to a mult year deal, his value tanks hard.

just sign Accairi for less than that combined over 2 years and we do just as well.

Arbitration hearing doesn't take place until August or early September.

Cat is more likely to be traded at the draft next week.

Accari doesn't play as physical of a game as McBain and he's much older. The reason I brought McBain was to be a physical player who can score some

Wut? He actually does.

Ummm... Have you watched McBain... he had 300 hits this season

And guess how many he would have on a team that dominates the puck? A lot less

I'm not saying that hits are everything... I'm just saying this shows that he brings the grit that we need on this team. I mean you can pay him $1-2m after this year and stick him on the third or fourth line
