I'd rather have just extended Bertuzzi. Shut it, Bertboy. We got a legit top 6 winger and only have 2 more holes to fill now. Big holes = 1C and 1LW, but we are getting closer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We just had another Franzen/Hossa moment. And we chose Franzen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Our forward group now screams "Finally! We're truly only one year away from the playoffs now!" and I hate it lmao But like I said in a rant a few weeks ago: Once Kasper and Mazur and Danielson find their way into the lineup, things are going to get interesting in a hurry.

LeftWinger 5,129 Report post Posted July 10, 2023 9 hours ago, bIueadams said: So we just traded: Bertuzzi + Kubalik + Sebrango, for Debrincat Not great IMO. I'd rather have just extended Bertuzzi. 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. 8 hours ago, bIueadams said: Kubalik scored 45 this year.

I am referring to 50 as in lighting the lamp/goals/scores. Wording is like devil is in the details. So if you think he will get 50 goals, I am your huckleberry.
