I personally also really like L'Heureux but I think he would be part of an ask along with at least 2 draft picks only reason I say this is if I am GM of the sens with trading away the last 2 years worth of 1sts and 2nds I need to restock and that 2021 draft was brutal so that being said if Nashville were to offer:
2023 1st (24 OA)
2023 2nd (47 OA)
L'Heureux
I think that's fair, I think that's less than what Ottawa got last year especially if this comes with a long term extension in place for Cat

Retool for playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Yeah but I'll start worrying about that once we make the playoffs lol
Crookshank and Greig are not the biggest guys but they play the right way, sorta like Pageau. "It's about the size of the dog but the fight in the dog"
I much prefer guys like that than Curtis Sanford or even Julien Gauthier
But maybe target a guy with size instead of Beauviller (since the others are already here). What about Jordan Greenway? He had a poor season so could be had for cheap again (but doubt the Sabres would give up so fast)</div></div>
That's a fair point
Jordan greenway could help or you could go after only one of Garland or Beauvillier and sign Barbashev? He's got size for that top 6. Greenway could go onto the fourth line and that would be a bigger lineup that's much much harder to play against

Come playoff time though if that team gets their honest question do you not think that bottom 6 gets pushed around? A little more size imo is required there imo Joseph doesn't quite cut it and neither does crookshank in the playoffs and Greig - Pinto - Beavilillier looks like a great third line imo just need a little more size

Ottawas guide to a successful season
Zadina may have untapped potential but he hasn't really shown anything so he could be a wash I wouldn't be willing to gamble on it Would rather a prospect with value in a return for a top 6 forward.
If you're trading Cat you should throw your hat into the ring for a player like Bertuzzi or Barbashev they seem to fit the mould of this Sens team.
Hellebucyk doesn't seem like a good option, doubt he resigns too. Could you offer a FA like Korpisalo or Jarry a mid range term deal for cheaper and it works out better possibly? Acquisition cost for Saros who I'd argue is a better goalie might be lower than what you proposed for Helle, same goes for Hart who is younger just lower career numbers

The best deal
Your probably better served sending brannstrom elsewhere 1) outside the division 2) Detroit doesn't need more LHD as per most of the ACGMs in the feeds
Secondly Ottawas not trading Pinto away that's not gunna happen, they don't have anyone capable of filling the position right away and the ownership still isn't technically wrapped up yet so they won't be able to just sign bigger name FAs.
Konecny is an interesting guy to go after, good replacement for debrincat but all depends on asking price.

First Touch
I don't think Ottawa will go anywhere near Deangelo since he's a known locker room cancer.
Second they need Pinto for that third line they don't really have any depth to cover there if they move him so that's a no go imo as well.
I've kinda said it in a few of these ACGMs if they move Cat their targets should be for young NHL ready prospects to cover for the picks they've moved the last few years, or first rounders/prospects. Then they should be trying to sign Barbashev. He brings pretty good experience and now after last night just won a cup, add in the fact you don't have to trade assets for him and it's a win.

Your absolutely right I was just saying if Trotz says your only getting one NHL ready guy rn your taking Luke
So Evangelista + EDM first + L'Heureux if it's possible could be a nice fall back option perhaps? You save some money moving Debrincat which could allow you to possibly bring in a guy like Barbashev? Idk what you think of that but he's been an absolute beast imo and could really improve the sens as well 17 pts in the playoffs so far +13 and something like 64 hits and can play centre or wing so another versatile and valuable guy to possibly bring into the mix?

Best case
Personally I think Ottawas trade too many picks away lately and might be better suited going after Ivan Barbashev to replace Debrincat and using Ridly Greig on the third line. Laughton is a nice piece but for a near 30 YO with a career high of 18 goals I'm not paying a late first rounder + (as reported) when people on this site are saying they wouldn't even trade more than a mid 1st and 2nd for a 25 YO Debrincat with 2 40+ goal seasons under his belt

Sens prospective that's to much filler in the Washington trade...they don't need Dowd and Joseph is almost 50% less cap than Mantha. If the Sens trade Debrincat they possibly look at moving Joseph into a top 6 role to see if he can recapture that same production he had when he first got there playing with the likes of Norris Batherson Tkachuk and Stutzle

I also agree with your points I think he will overvalue himself and this year he will obviously have to prove himself. But he truly does hold value still IMO and many GMs around the league I think should and will still covet his goal scoring abilities. I'm a big Sens fan and watched many games last year he was very unlucky as well. Those 29 goals he scored he definitely hit about 15-20 posts maybe more so there wasn't a lot of luck on his side last season either. I'm just more so playing devils advocate here

Not to defend cat but the guy still had 66 points, yes a down year but played a high majority of the year with a rookie centre coming off major shoulder surgery Pinto and the third best winger on the team who is also a defensive liability in Batherson.
If he had of been playing with Stutzle and Tkachuk I do believe he would've been at or above career level norms and the narrative on the site rn would be different. But that's just my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Yeah I'm not doing that if I am either team
I don't see a fit with the Blues. Maybe something around Schenn and Neighbours?
PS : love the Description in the OP, damn Dorion is bad
Keep in mind DeBrincat had to play with rookie Pinto as his center, a guy who had just missed a full season due to injury. DeBrincat would have produced more if Norris had been healthy. Both DeBrincat and Batherson suffered a lot from Norris injury, particularly defensively (offense comes from good defense). Pinto is good and will be great (will develop into a Danault type) but way too much responsibility for a rookie Center coming off a serious injury
DeBrincat needs to fit the team that will acquire him, a team strong at Center but that lacks goal scoring wingers. Blues are not a fit.
And I totally understand not wanting to move a prospect like Snuggerud, same as we didn't want to move Pinto and Greig, even for Chychrun</div></div>
It'll be very tough for Dorion to find a good fit for Debrincat and I don't think I trust him enough to bring in a good return. It'll be a shame to see him go if he does leave. Ottawa doesn't necessarily have any ready to go to 6 guys in tow ready and waiting.
Dorion has imo needed to go for a long while if I was a new ownership group he and DJ Smith are my first guys I'm letting go of.

Just looking at it as an outsider and giving why I’d imagine most people aren’t receptive to paying a large price. By no means do I think he’s a bad player.

Moving Debrincat is going to be tough for Dorion and I don't think I trust him to do it. It's going to be unfortunate that he reportedly doesn't want to sign as in the locker room I think he's a good fit and I think he would benefit with a better system and a healthy roster next season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>I don’t think washed up is the best way to put it. But there’s certainly reason for concern, and I can’t see him fetching near what Ottawa paid for him.
Last season wasn’t great for him, and it’s the first season away from Kane. Reason for concern, but minimal, he still produced at a decent rate.
His QO pretty much ensures he’s gets a large pay day. Nobody or at least no fan wants to see their team sign an undersized winger coming off his worst season in the first season of changed circumstances to 8m+/year. It’s highly volatile.
There’s also an odd frenzy of people way overvaluing cap space, but at the same time, most teams cannot fit in 8m+ on Debrincat and pay a large futures package with no salary going back the other way.
For the blues as listed above, the fit just isn’t there. We have too many holes and too many question marks and too limited cap space to fix them.
Also just a short aside after scrolling through some other replies, chances of the Blues moving Snuggerud or the 10th pick are very very slim.
Snuggerud had a fantastic season and plays a pretty blues style of hockey and the Blues haven’t picked near the 10 spot in a long long time.</div></div>
I appreciate your breakdown here of the possible reasoning behind why Debrincats value may have slumped slightly! Can I give a rebuttal to this from a sens point of view?
Reasoning why his point total dropped in my eyes are his most used linemates were Pinto and Batherson. With Norris going down early in the season this was probably worst case scenario as Pinto is still getting used to the league and coming off of shoulder surgery, Batherson is a productive forward but also had a rough year based off of previous years.
I think not playing with the likes of Stutzle (Ottawas obvious top forward) or Tkachuk and Norris going down for pretty much the entire season is a major reason why you saw Debrincat's numbers slip it's not bc of necessarily being away from Kane Debincat but it was more so the linemates and the system that Ottawa plays (dump and chase) which aren't the fit.
I do believe personally as much as I love Debrincat as a player and am a sens fan that Pierre Dorion is a bit of an idiot and jumped the gun last offseason. He doesn't really know how what he's doing as GM or who to go after stylistically to fit the system. At this point he should probably fire the coach and bring in someone who plays a possession style to fit Debrincat, Norris, Stutzle, Batherson, Chychrun and Chabots style of play more so that they can actually succeed

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tennisman142</b></div><div>It's more of the blues have a lot of winger prospects and we already have a lot of wingers on the roster so Debrincat makes little sense in adding another winger. I think Debrincat can get a mid to late first and a decent prospect but it won't be from the blues. We have Kyrou at 8 mil and then need to sign Buch in 2 years to a contract north of 8 mil. Adding another 8 mil winger on top of that makes little sense. Most likely the blues will try to fix the defense somehow if it is possible and that is where our late firsts come in. I doubt we trade them for a winger because we have enough of those</div></div>
Makes sense...were you guys using Buch as a 2C last year? I don't watch any blues games as I'm not in that region so only know what I read or see via posts and other ****.

I assumed the 10th OA would more than likely be off the table or at least my hope would be that a) Snugs obviously pans out to be the better player than whomever I could theoretically select with that pick. b) take the lower pick to increase the quality of additional assets coming back in return.

I knew he had a good year so figured he would be likely untouchable. Not saying you are but in most of the posts today seems like most people think Debrincat is "washed up" not valuable after last season so think he can still fetch a good return just maybe not a Jimmy Snug like return.
Side note what the hell do you think they do with their 3 first round picks then? Keep them or trade them? I assume the use the 10th OA but consider trading one of both of the other 2 firsts
