there is no way san jose is giving up #2 for alex debrincat.

I'm going to quote this a second time to ask this question. If an under 30, in his prime, 80+ point winger like DeBrincat isn't worth the #2 overall pick, what player or type of player is?

Are you interested in hitting the reset button on the rebuild? If so, do you want Cat around for the rebuild or would you rather maximize your draft capital and chances to tank?

I mean just read what you quoted haha.  I understand it isn't everyone's preferred strategy but I don't want to tear the team down to nothing and he's the type of player that I would want around rookies and younger players: a dude who gives a **** and plays above his height/weight because he wants to win.

And I agree with buddha, you aren't getting the second overall pick for him.  That's a better return than the two other trades involving him and he's only older now.  I would trade him for the second overall pick no questions asked though.

All I can say is if 'Cat isn't worth a 2nd round pick, than the degree of fail of the Wings org in not consistently bringing 2nd round picks to the Wings that are even half as good as 'Cat has to be called out for the epic fail it must be. One or the other must be true.

I think you need to re-read the discussions, no one is discussing a second round pick........
