Thread: DeBrinny
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dutchies</b></div><div>They totally do this. Debrincat is a goal scoring stud. They rid themselves of the White contract. Brannstrom is a bust, Boucher is gonna be nothing. Formenton, Pinto and Grieg plus a top 10 protected first is well worth it. Plus it opens up future cap space for a big contract to resign the Cat. And Murphy gives them a steady top 4 for years

IT's time for OTT to start trading their cupboard of prospects</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GDubb2Shiesty</b></div><div>I agree Debrincat is a world class goal scorer and Ottawa absolutely needs to move some of their prospects, but I don't see them moving Grieg, Pinto or Boucher unless Dorion gets replaced. I would love to see Debrincat in Ottawa but Dorion is known to be stingy when it comes time to trading for big name players. I also think its too early to say Boucher will be nothing when he plays exactly like Tom Wilson and that style of player is becoming more valuable, but i aslo agree Brannstrom is looking more and more like a bust</div></div>

I wouldn't call Brannstrom a bust cause he's an everyday capable NHL player who was a mid first round pick. However he did not live up to what was expected from him after being traded for Mark Stone.

Thread: I think the Senators are done the Rebuild This Year and Compete next
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>At the beginning maybe, but it shifted to value (you literally did it yourself in post #4). One thing we should all do to improve communication is mentioning when we're talking about pure value or about team needs/context.

But please do a bit of research before proclaiming your guy as the next best thing while the guy from the other team is "merely okay"

And I am not trying to diminish Lysell. On draft day and after the draft, he was among the guys I named that I would take over Tyler Boucher (Sens 10th OA pick)

A few examples :

<em>I have a different definition of safe pick... To me the safe pick here was Sillinger, or even Lucius or Lysell.</em>

<em>Xspyrit, Jul 16, 2021 : If a guy like McTavish, Kent Johnson or Sillinger is available at 10th, you absolutely snag him. Could be a few others too like Lucius, Lysell, etc. Heck, even Coronato seems very interesting</em>

<em>From the Sens, Alex Formenton received the 8th highest amount of votes for that 50th spot but maybe he should have been voted already (I voted Lysell)</em>

The last one was a comment in January reviewing a September 2021 poll ranking NHL prospects (on another website). I actually voted Lysell at #50, over my guys Formenton and Bernard-Docker who were among options</div></div>

Wow great stuff in this tread, I'm glad your on our side

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Bahahahah what? Thomson got the call up, looked like crap for 16 games, and got sent right back down. Formenton is an okay bottom six option (something the bruins don’t need). NHL teams don’t trade their best prospect for bottom six depth. NHL teams don’t trade their top prospects for a couple guys with lower ceilings. It’s just not how the NHL works. Grieg is merely okay.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Formenton's speed is not just decent, it's elite. He's one of the very few who can actually keep up with McDavid. And with the puck too. Difference is he doesn't have the same hands/skill, so he's more limited to 20-25 goals per year, which is pretty decent already

He has 15 goals in his rookie season, while getting at least 50% of his game in the bottom-6

But yeah he and Thompson wouldn't even come close to a 19 y/o prospect who doesn't figure in top prospects lists! Of course</div></div>

Ha! Greig had and has a way better ppg than Lysell in the WHL and can do everything. Your "best prospect" is merely likely to be a 3rd line player. Lassi looked solid but the AHL team needs help making playoffs. Keep being delusional because the bruins have an average prospect for the first time in years. He is playing like an average 2nd round pick in the WHL.
