Yes it probably is. Schmaltz is almost a point per game player his past 2 seasons on a bad team. Debrincat hasnt proved he can produce at that level since he played with Kane (Im a huge cat fan, just making a point). He's also on a cheaper contract than Debrincat. He will have his contract expiring right as Danielson or Kasper is ready to fill that 2C role. The bottom line is that we need more scoring, and he can bring that. As far as defensively, I think our bottom lines can finally start to matchup and shut top lines down. But you can't argue that Schmaltz is bad defensively, then turn around and praise Debrincat. They both bring much needed offense, and our depth will be what shuts other teams down.

Yeah this was mostly all derived from a tweet I saw where they did a mock with Stutzle and Debrincat for Raymond and the 2 firsts... I thought this might be a better alternative. I do like Greig's game, however I don't see him cracking the top 6 without some major improvements (would be a stellar 3C though). Berggren has more offensive upside and is commonly considered a better prospect, a lot like Raymond in my opinion. I don't see any of the rest of the Sens prospects amounting to much (not that what I think means anything), the class as a whole is typically ranked in the bottom 10 of the league. Sebrango is a defensive prospect with a high upside who has fallen victim to an exceptionally deep Detroit LD prospect pool. He had a strong showing at the WJC, and I have heard multiple sources say they think he is NHL ready and would play on teams that aren't as stacked on the left side. Now to who I think you mean by "Mid": Kubalik and Fabbri are damage control in the top 6. While not comparable to the point production of Cat and Stutzle, they put up decent numbers (both about .6 ppg) and can create offense. Ras is a big, fast, and gritty bottom 6 player, a spot where I think the Sens really lack. Having him for center depth is also very important with the reoccurring shoulder injuries for Pinto and Norris. On top of all this you receive 2 more first round picks next year to either jump start your prospect pool or use to trade for some high end talent now. Also, from the rumors I have heard, the Debrincat negotiations are holding up signing Tarasenko... just more incentive to move him. That being said, I don't completely disagree with what you are saying. Hopefully it is a little more clear where I am coming from now though.
