Thread: Hit the gas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>I agree -- I just don't think a trade is feasible.
I do disagree that he is a <em>proven</em> 40G scorer.
He did it twice with one of the best playmakers in the league; if he requires that caliber of a player to feed him pucks, then he's not a 40G scorer.
Maybe he rebounds this year; I think that's Ottawa's best bet or else they'll have to sell low -- GMs are probably asking the same question of "is he a 40G scorer or is he like a 30G scorer that was elevated by Patrick Kane?"</div></div>

I don't think he was elevated by Patrick Kane (look at Patrick Kane without Dcat he sucks) he is a very very good player and you can tell watching him play, there's multiple reasons as to why he didn't score as much this year but I don't feel like typing all of it so im just going to say keep it brief:
1. New team, New city, first trade, new baby.
2. #1 centre hurt (Norris) so Rookie pinto had to step up and struggled.
3. DJ Smith's structure was very bad for the style of hockey DCat play's. (which is why every sens fan wants him out)
4. less opportunities and TOI with ottawa. DCat and Kane were always on the ice for each PP and Ozone draw ( he also played the full 2mins of PP). This isn't the case here in ottawa because of internal competition.
5. Just very unlucky You don't have to count this one but I've never seen anyone hit so many posts in a season before and im not kidding guys had to cheer him up with all the posts he was hitting this past season.

I 100% Believe he will score more goals next season if he gets to play with Norris or stutzle. (if he stays in ottawa)

I also think keeping him for 1 year and trading him at the TDL for a better return would be the best Idea.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>Out of the pieces I'd be willing to trade to get DeBrincat; I'd do Berggren. He's a decent player; more than I think I realize, but other than his offensive capabilities he doesn't bring much else.
Mazur, for example, is a good goalscorer; but he's also defensively responsible. Also, more importantly, can throw around his body.
You don't get that from Berggren and you won't get that from DeBrincat.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wjdjdkf</b></div><div>Understood. My experience on this website is fans overvalue their own prospects. If I can get a top 4 dman that’s 26 and playing 20+ minutes a night and a 28 year old center who’s floor is 20 goals and scored 40 two years ago, I’m gonna go get em.

Keep in mind with your window analogy, that there’s two sides to that analogy. For example, Larkin’s in his prime now. Isn’t there an equal argument to be using that to its full potential. Especially with the war chest of picks and prospects.

Suppose Servelli is wrong and it is Begerren needed to make Debrincat deal? Do you make it. Or just hope he gets his 40 goal season before Larkin is on the wrong side of 30…

I’m not sure just asking</div></div>

Guys as a sens fan I Sincerely don't see any trade with Detroit for Debrincat will benefit the sens it will only make our division rival better. Listening to all the rumours it doesn't sound like were going to get even value for debrincat so trading a 40 Goal scorer to a division Rival for a mid to bad return is just not a good move. The servelli trade is awful for Ottawa. Trading a 40 goal scorer for a fourth liner and a mid first round pick to a rival would be a massive L. We would just be helping you guys. it would be much better trading with STL, CAR, Dallas. Even if you guys trade us a decent prospect Debrincat is still more valuable than said prospect because Dcat is a proven 40 goal scorer and we would be very lucky for the prospect in return to become anywhere near the player Debrincat is at the moment. That being said prospects for us aren't as valuable because we're trying to compete RN not later. We don't have time for young players to develop anymore the time is now. all our prospects are on the team now.
