Sens return for DeBrincat ‘isn’t amazing, it’s okay’ – OverDrive – Part 2 – 07/10/23



Brendan Dunlop and Dave Feschuk are joined by TSN Baseball analyst Steve Phillips to discuss the Home Run Derby, how this could help Vladimir Guerrero Jr. get hot in the second half of the season, Alek Manoah’s successful first start back in the majors, the Yankees firing its hitting coach and how he made a similar call when he was the New York Mets GM and why the manager at the time, Bobby Valentine, wasn’t a fan of the call and more. They are also joined by Senior Senators writer for The Athletic Ian Mendes to discuss the Senators trading Alex DeBrincat to the Red Wings, how the Sens did in the trade, the expectation for the Senators this upcoming season and more.

  1. The return might not look the best but Dominik Kubalik has a really solid 2-way game. 20 Goals isnt bad but his defensive aspect especially with Norris (Another high Def Corsi player) that will be a hard line to play against. Will help hide Bathersons defensive liability.

  2. I said it was a terrible trade by a moron of a GM from day 1. I was ridiculed and attacked by everyone. Everybody, including all the talking heads, were just creaming in their pants over the acquisition. I'll never understand how people could not have foreseen the problem and the potential for disaster considering who the GM was.

    However if you look at it from a marketing perspective, even if it was totally accidental, it turned out to be great when it came to getting the fan base reengaged. Plus Dorion was not permitted to do anything really stupid to try and make himself look good.

  3. I agree, it's not a fantastic return (unless the 1st rounder becomes something, but that's a big "if").
    But considering the leverage Debrincats camp has and narrowing it down to 1 team, I think Dorion got a decent return.
    The only other play would be to leave things as is, hope Debrincat lights it up and doesn't get hurt, boosting his value and you dish him at the trade deadline – but that is WAY too risky.
    I think Kubalik will fit in fine and with the new cap space I wouldn't be shocked if the Sens picked up Tarasenko or Tatar, solidifying their Top 6.

  4. “If he can hand pick a place he’d go home”. Home to a bottom 5 team. 😂

  5. Omg I just saw the Russians attack a woman for having an American flag! I can’t stand the nhl! Does samsonov still play for leafs? I’d go game just to get kicked out! Go home Russia

  6. I’m a wings fan…and I like Debrincat a lot, but I think Ottawa got the better end of the trade. Debrincat is obviously the best player in the deal, but, yeah, overall, I think Ottawa got a great return. I like Larkin and Raymond and Seider, but I don’t see Debrincat putting up big numbers in Detroit, I hope I’m wrong, but I think he had a way more offensively gifted team around him in Ottawa, and…he didn’t really deliver like anyone expected

  7. 30 minutes of baseball talk, 15 min hockey talk. Title your videos properly! WILL VLADY WIN THE DARBY. Im getting annoyed with the click bait
