Whether it's Debrincat or Konecny we really shouldn't spend many assets on wingers right now IMO. The reality is that this team is going nowhere until we have a 2C that can carry a line against top competition. NOBODY is game planning for a 2nd line centered by Andrew Copp. It's a testament to just how good Dylan Larkin is that he still produces near a point per game despite the fact that whatever line he's centering is the only line that can score. He is keyed on as much as any player in the league and he's still very good. But without someone else he's sunk, with or without any Debrincat or Konecny types. This has been a glaring weakness with this team for a decade and continues to be. It's good that we drafted Kasper, and I'm hopeful, but the range of outcomes for him could be Phillip Danault to Pierre Luc Dubois to anywhere in between. It doesn't matter who we sign or draft if we don't have a quality 2C we're not taking the next step.

I'd rather have Konecny than Debrincat. He's a slightly less offensively talented winger, but only marginally. Conversely, he's marginally more "gritty" than Debrincat. But also he's under contract for two more years @ 5.5 million.

It's ok, he'll just take his arbitration award and sign with us UFA next July. I bet Ottawa was asking for a King's ransom from us, being inner-divisional.

Any schizo leafs poster from the main board would do in return.

not sure I like any goalie at 9.5
