lordstanley Posted July 5, 2023 Author Posted July 5, 2023 39 minutes ago, Jason_R said: I was thinking the same thing. If he really requests to get out of a $4 million contract there is almost no imaginable scenario in which he makes it up. Maybe his thinking is there are teams who would sign him and give him NHL playing time if not for his bad contract. So be free, sign a 1 x $1mm, and hope to kickstart his career somewhere. Make money after he proves himself if he thinks he can. His concern must be that he can’t make the Wings and that being buried in the minors kills any chance of big figure paydays. Quite a gamble though. Quote

buddha Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 if they trade for debrincat, will all you apologize to poor stevie? lol. Quote
1984Echoes Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 No apologies from me as I'm still on the "Believe in Yzerplan", and never left... But how about a HUGE "ATTABOY"?!?! Quote

I don't think I've been too critical of Stevie directly. Disappointed that we haven't gotten it done yet, but not critical of him in the way I was of Holland for years. I have said numerous times in this thread that I still believe in what he's doing because I genuinely do. What I have questioned and wondered allowed, along with others, is where the goal scoring is going to come from to catch us up with the rest of the league and get us out of the bottom 10. If he pulls off this trade I'll give him all the props in the world for it. Debrincat is a good, highly skilled player, who fits our biggest need and fits our timeline. Make it happen Stevie! Quote

jz68 Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 With all this talk about Debrincat and the Red Wings, I'm going to be absolutely devastated if we don't get him. 1 Quote

Shinzaki Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Rumor has it Tarasenko wants to sign with Ottawa but can't until DeBrincat gets moved. Movement could be imminent.... Quote
jz68 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I'm not even joking when I say I must have checked Twitter 100 times yesterday for Debrincat news. Trying to avoid the same today. Quote

slothfacekilla Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I am pretty sure Elon had to institute that cap on how many tweets you could read because I was refreshing twitter 24 hours straight for ADB news. 1 Quote
buddha Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 elon is teasing me because every time i open twitter alex debrincat is trending and i get excited. and it turns out to be nothing. Quote
lordstanley Posted July 7, 2023 Author Posted July 7, 2023 And in the "Top" feed when DeBrincat is trending, it will be a story from a day ago. So then I have to switch over to the "Latest" feed and sift through fake accounts with wild rumours. Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I am slowly weening myself off Twitter and the Red Wings section on HF Boards. I'm tired of being on pins and needles with this. if Yzerman makes it happen then fantastic, if not, I'll be bummed but accepting that the rebuild moves onward and hopefully upwards. I'm not waiting around all day with Twitter and HF Boards open. I need to get some actual stuff done at work at some point. Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Darren Helm retired. Good for him for winning a Cup and fleecing Kenny for a great contract. Quote
