Debrincat chose #93

How would everyone feel about signing Kane to play with Larks & Cat? I feel like it would immediately boost our ability to have 2 good scoring lines and a very good 3rd line.

Bertuzzi wasn't going to extend here. Thats why he was traded to begin with. Kubalik was leaving via TDL or UFA. Sebrango was way down the D prospect ladder. The 1st basically covered Bertuzzi not re-signing. If Yzerman had kept Bert in hopes to re-sign him, we'd have nothing when he walked. The 4th was ours. So basically we gave up Kubalik, Bertuzzi and Sebrango, all three players that weren't going to be here for the next 4 years(Debrincat contract) a 1st that we didn't have to begin with and wouldn't have had if we kept Bertuzzi, and a 4th. 3 players that would never be on the team again, a 1st that wasn't ours. Let's mention how often Bertuzzi is iniured too. I'm willing to bet he misses half the season in Toronto. So look at it this way: Debrincat for a 4th. PLUS we still have $9M in cap space. If Yzerman wanted, he could still make a deal for Konecny. I wouldn't mind sending Fabbri and Veleno to Philly for him. No picks needed. He thought you meant goals, not points.

Fair trade. I was hoping to not have to give up a 1st(even conditional) but happy we didn’t lose any good prospects. Now get Pesce Im feelin greedy

Woooooooooo!! Definitely not as much as I thought we’d have to give. Love Kubalik but he was no doubt signing elsewhere for a higher salary next offseason also so I’m glad he could help us in this situation. getting DeBrincat is huge for us and Yzerplan, god speed

This is definitely a fleece job by Yzerman.

Where is everyone?

Suck it, Bertboy!!!

We got better over the last 10 days. Im convinced of that.

Well - Cat will be 29 and a UFA so he’ll have another opportunity to cash in. Glad to have him on the Wings.

Nice! Bring in “Alex the House Cat”

Going to be nice to watch a team with enough right handed players

Witchcraft perhaps? Mind melding ?

Dorion had no leverage; DeBrincat wanted to come here and the other teams on his list couldn't really make it work.

How did Yzerman pull off that trade, only having to give up Kubalik, Sebrango, and a couple picks? I thought maybe Raymond or Kasper would have to be included by now. That's why the Larkin contact is so important, only Mo can make more than Larkin.

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

Kubalik was gone TDL or UFA, Sebrango was not going to make it in Detroit because of Yzerman's D drafting. So a 1st and 4th. And that 1st (conditional) came from a player (Bertuzzi) who wasn't going to re-sign here either.

Fleeced! Can't wait for the presser! It's done! Get in here everyone!

Northern Michigan

He will wear 21 in Detroit, theyre saying.

Im wondering if SY plans to move Kubalik and/or Perron early for Dcat
