Thread: DeBrincat Value Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AquaticOwl</b></div><div>He was getting PP time and played 2nd/3rd all last season, and very likely will do the same this season</div></div>

Our C's last season: Larkin - Copp - Veleno - Suter

At 5v5 Berggren played 369 minutes with Veleno, 142 with Copp, 57 with Larkin, 43 with Suter. So, 60.4% of his 5v5 time was spent on the 3rd line 5v5, with 23.2% of the year on 2nd line, and 16.4% split between 1st &amp; 4th lines. Mostly 3rd line, but definitely got some 2nd line reps.

However, the same could've been said for Zadina early on. In what I'd consider his rookie season (2020-21), he played 45% of his 5v5 TOI with Larkin on the top line and 33% with Namestnikov on the 2nd line. After that season, when he didn't magically work out (and he shouldn't have considered the quality of linemates in the top 6 outside of Larkin), he was basically absolved to bottom line or bottom 6 duties, when not healthy scratched, for the next 2 years.

Thread: DeBrincat Value Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Talking_Senators</b></div><div>Let's assume the market is roughly what LA paid for Dubois. So a middle 6 forward with a decent cap hit (Iaffalo) could be Kubalik or Fabrri, a young(ish) player with upside (Vilardi) could be Berggren, a B/C level prospect (Kupari) and a 2nd round pick. Now, I do think Dubois' value is higher than Debrincat given he's a big centre. But by how much? He'll be earning roughly the same money assuming 8-8.8 mil. I would have to think that Debrincat's value as of now is something along the lines of 3 assets (Roster player, decent prospect and 1st/2nd round pick). So in this scenario, Kubalik/Fabbri, Berggren and a 2nd is actually what the price should be.

Who the hell knows, just basing this off what I think and what the market has told us.</div></div>

I would have agreed with you a few weeks ago, but Dorion has seriously backed himself into a corner on this one, with ADB's help. ADB controls his fate since he'll only sign long-term with a few teams, and not all of those teams can even fit him from a cap perspective. Dorion should have pulled the trigger on a trade for ADB well before now, when I think he would've gotten a slightly fairer valuation. At this point though, he's got roster spots to fill and a majority of the FA class has already signed. He just needs to move ADB to progress his roster.
