Thread: Debrincat for Gibson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Neptune12</b></div><div>That's exactly the way I see it. Replace Debrincat with a middle 6 player and fill in the holes we have in depth and add a true #1 goalie such as Hellebuyck, Hart, Hill, Saros.

If we re-sign debrincat Im afraid well be very top heavy, our depth will struggle and we won't have the cash to pay for a #1 Goalie.</div></div>

Yeah, I don't like the idea of having 4 forwards earning ~8 million, especially with Chabot and eventually Sanderson + Chychyrun's next contracts, that could mean 56 million spent on 4 forwards and 3 D.

If we are trying to make the playoffs next year and beyond, we are so much closer to that goal by acquiring a goalie than with keeping DeBrincat and signing a UFA/pushing Sogaard too early.

Thread: I dont know what Im doing here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Neptune12</b></div><div>I agree with this guy.

I would love magiapanne and I like Tanev but...

Tanev is too expensive for him to only play on our third D pair. We also need a better 3rd line the third line is so important in the playoffs we cannot have 3 rookies together for that. ID go get a Colton or buqstad or Fast to play on pinto's right side.

Sokolov will probably start on the 4th line or play when someone is injured.

I do not like Vladar IMO he's never been average. We need a goalie like Hart or Hill.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>That bottom 6 is not good enough. They are 1 injury away from being a complete mess on forward. AGAIN. You need 3 upgrades in that bottom 6. Gambrell and Kastelnic are AHLer's. Gauthier is a fringe NHLer. Sokolov could be an NHLer. Having one of those guys on your opening roster is fine. 2 is pushing it. All 4 is insanity.

That d corp would be spicy though. That's for sure. But realistically use that Tanev money on bottom 6 forwards.</div></div>

Ya I agree with you guys. Haven't followed Ottawa close enough to know. Fast would be a great add. I think there could be some effective bargain bottom 6 guys in FA to make it work or move a late pick or two.

Thread: WTF should the Debrincat trade look like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Neptune12</b></div><div>We can sign him long term and it would make our top 6 one of the best in the league but that would also stop us from getting better Depth or a better goaltender. This season with the injury to our #1 centre Norris, Pinto being a rookie struggled on the second line (thus Debrincat struggling as well) and motte and Jospeh also getting injuries throughout the season our bottom 6 looked like two 4th lines with ahl players. Also we had more goaltending problems with forsberg and Talbot getting hurt we had to play 4 different rookies in net. In total we had 7 goalies play for us all of them had some good games and very bad games.

if we trade him we can do all of it. Our top 6 would still be very lethal with a player like Bertuzzi and we would be able to add a veteran on the third line to play with Pinto and/or add a Goaltender like hill.</div></div>

Meh, I’d say keep him but that’s just me. The grass is always greener on the other side.
