Thread: Thoughts on trade today Opposite happened
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FanOfAllTeams</b></div><div>This is definitely a win-win deal to me. The obvious is the improvement on the d line for Nashville.</div></div>

Well, the whole deal is obvious. The immediate cap savings for Tampa plus the buyout option on Myers giving them a credit if they choose to do so. I'm not sure what you are asking though.. What does "opposite happened" mean? The opposite would be the trade not happenning at all... Are you asking for thoughts on the trade not happening? And with your comment, are you saying my thoughts on the trade are too obvious? I don't know what else to say... It makes sense for both sides. But I also feel like Tampa could have gotten something more valuable out of trading McDonagh. I'm trying to contribute to the conversation here, but your post is vague.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>This trade would have to happen after the draft, so it would start with 2023 first round pick. Depending on who Pitt picks at 21OA they very well could be available, unless it is the #1 guy available that Pitt wanted and Hextall says he is off limits.

Idk I just see a world where Debrincat has been described as “if, not when” with regards to being traded. And I think if he gets traded Toews will request a trade (if he hasn’t done so privately already) because he seems very disinterested with a rebuild. And I think if that happens PK88 will also request a trade. At this point it may be mid way - late into the summer and all of the big names who are going to go will have went. Gaudreau may have signed in NJD, Debrincat may have been traded to ottawa. Who knows what could happen.</div></div>

Exactly. Who knows what everything will look like at that point. But I do know one thing, it is going to take a massive haul to get DeBrincat out of CHI. So it is possible no one is willing to pay the price and he stays in CHI. In which case it is less likely that Kane leaves. Toews on the other hand... Who knows? I think a lot of Toews comments have been way over blown by fans and the media. I think it is still possible he comes around to the idea of a rebuild and sticks around. But I also think he could contribute a lot more to a contender than a lot of hockey fans give him credit for. And if chasing more cups at the end of his career is what he would rather do, he has earned that right.

Considering he has full control, if he were to request a trade and PIT were one of only a few teams he were willing to go to, that might reduce CHI's leverage. I kind of want to say the return might be similar to what Philly got for Giroux but Kane is definitely more valuable than him for various reasons. I really don't know what it would take, off the top of my head. At least one 1st round pick, and at least one high end prospect, would be a good place to start. There might be some players around 21OA this year that CHI would be interested in. But I doubt a deal for Kane gets done before the draft next week unless DeBrincat gets traded right now and Kane asks for a trade tomorrow and everything comes together quickly. But depending on who PIT picks at 21OA, that player could be of interest.

Idk... haha. Your guess is as good as mine at this point.
