Ottawa traded DeBrincat to Detroit on Sunday in exchange for Dominik Kubalik, Donovan Sebrango, a conditional 2024 first-round draft pick and a 2024 fourth-round draft pick. The Red Wings then signed DeBrincat to a four-year, $31.5 million contract extension.
DeBrincat spent one year with the Senators before hitting restricted free agency this offseason. After a 27-goal, 66-point campaign, he and Ottawa were too far apart on a deal, so he'll pack his bags for Detroit. The 25-year-old winger is among the league's best goal scorers; he's buried 100 goals in 216 games over the last three seasons. DeBrincat will fill a top-six role, likely on the top line alongside Dylan Larkin, with a spot on the top power-play unit.
