Debrincat had 2 years of control left.
Plus, the 17OA this year has huge value. Calgary seems likely to get a pretty good player at 16OA.
In fact, I expect that the 17OA is not available in 2023.
And 2nd round picks in this draft have quite a bit more value than they usually do.

Come on now.. That very same pick (plus additional assets) has been traded twice already for far inferior players in Horvat and Hronek.
You guys are vastly underrating Lindholm here. He's 28.. not 33 for crying out loud. Every single player that has played alongside him since his arrival here has had a career season.. Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Monahan, Toffoli, Dube..
