No chance even DET does this. Boqvist = ASP, and isn't like the rest of the core Dman squad (look at Seider, Edvinsson, Johansson, Gibson are all over 6'2, while ASP is 5'11). I liken Boqvist to Anders Eriksson, who Stevie knows well. Jenner is a good piece, but where would he play? He wouldn't play on the 2nd line over Perron, Kane, Compher, and the 3rd line with Ras/Copp/Fischer are crushing it. You aren't paying a 1st round pick and a good prospect for a 4th liner unless you know you are going to contend for the finals, and that piece would put you over the top. Jenner wouldn't put DET over the top.

I suspect DET will sit still, maybe move Reimer for a late round pick. Berggren stays this year, and Steve gives him a guarantee to make the squad next year full time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>I'd be hardpressed to not at least try Berggren on top line with DeBrincat, no? Berggren is an excellent perimeter passer. Should be legos with him and DeBrincat.
Starting top-6 should be (IMO)

DeBrincat-Larkin-Berggren
Rasmussen-Copp-Raymond

At least try it. I'd love Kasper to be 2C, though.</div></div>

Razor will get a 1st line shot before Bergy. Razor is an excellent playmaker too. Bergy and Ras would fit together as well, as Bergy could feed Ras in the net front.

The reason why you wouldn't want Bergy or Razor with Cat and Larkin is who is playing in the corners? Larkin can play in the corners, but Cat and Razor aren't forecheckers. Perron and Ras are.

It might be 20-30 games before we know how these lines will work.

Sujet: DeBrincat Value Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Ive seen Detroit fans value Berggren very highly this summer, but I never heard of him before the summer so can only go off his boxcar stats. They seem solid enough but not particularly special. What makes you folks think so highly of him (genuine question, tone not always obvious online)?</div></div>

There are several components of why DET fans are so high (even overrating) Berggren. First, his numbers for the year were pretty good once you put the lens on it. He scored 28 points in 67 games, averaging 13:30/game. Bringing that number to 18 minutes/game, he’d be a slightly higher than .53PPG as a rookie.

He spent 37% of the time with Veleno as his C, meaning he played bottom 6 lines. He wasn’t quite sheltered, averaging only 56% if his face off starts in the Ozone. Looking at it that way, he had a positive possession metric of 51% CF, and a 4.6% CF relative. When he did play up the lineup, his numbers held steady (though, much better with Copp than Larkin).

80+% of his shots came in between the dots, for a Euro with only 1 year of NA ice time, that’s pretty good. He shot at a 15% clip, though only at 1.3 shots per game. He definitely needs to shoot more.

Nothing earth shattering, but for a team whose middle/bottom six got caved last year, he was the standout. He probably tops out as a 2nd line RW (playing his off hand). Someone compared him to Jiri Hudler, which is on the mark. Tomas Tatar is another good one. Both of them were above average middle 6 guys.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>Pierre LeBrun recently said that Detroit is no longer the front runners for DeBrincat, so.
The return could certainly not include a '23 pick, but a decent prospect.

Which is probably where the issue of getting a first for Cat comes in. WSH isn’t giving up 8OA, NSH is already on the rebuild path, maybe CAR gives up #30, but they need Cs, not Ws, DAL doesn’t have a 1st this year. Would SEA give up 20, or STL 25? STL needs Cs, and Seattle needs prospects. Plus, Cat isn’t guaranteed to sign an extension with anyone. So no one is giving up a 1st without an extension at their price. And in a flat cap, everyone is having cost issues.
