Honestly zero sense for buffalo to do this. Pretty much the same lotto ticket in the 5th round as the 3rd round.

Ah yes, Buffalos biggest need... LD, there would only be 7 players above Simek on that depth chart

So your GM didnt say he was going to weaponize cap space to get better assets?? lol dude, the difference between a 5th and 3rd rounder is nearly a 20% to play 200 games in the nhl...

anyways, buffalo, arizona, chicago, who cares where he goes.

I don't think it's enough or that CHI should even entertain trading DeBrincat unless it's a ridiculous offer, but I don't think this offer is that far off in value since the 11OA is included.

Thanks. its pretty spot on considering the QO required if the Sharks want to re-sign him. contract structure is a big part of the reason that it wont be more than this kind of trade. He could take the QO and walk right to FA, so its higher risk for any team, which means lower offers.
