Top landing spots for Hawks forward Alex DeBrincat

Chicago Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors over the past couple of weeks, and it seems that just about any team in the league should be calling on him. Here are five of the possible best suitors that could trade for the 24-year-old.

Detroit Red Wings

The Red Wings are an up-and-coming team with two top-six left wingers in Tyler Bertuzzi and Jakub Vrana, but Bertuzzi is expected to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. Possibly a deal involving Bertuzzi and a pick or prospect for DeBrincat could be in order.

Los Angeles Kings

The Kings could be just one more prime time player away from making a deep playoff run after exceeding expectations this season. DeBrincat would bolster the top-six, putting a legit scoring threat next to Anze Kopitar or Phillip Danault.

New Jersey Devils

The Devils are currently stacked with young centers including Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, and Dawson Mercer. Now the team just needs to figure out some wings to put alongside them. DeBrincat would slide into the top-six very nicely.

New York Islanders

The Islanders have one of the most talented centers in the league in Mathew Barzal, but he hasn't had much of a supporting cast on his line throughout his career. Acquiring DeBrincat and pairing him with Barzal would create a deadly duo for years to come.

Ottawa Senators

The Sens have a top-line left winger in Brady Tkachuk, but there is a glaring hole on the second line with Tim Stutzle. DeBrincat could help Stutzle develop into a near point-per-game player, and help the Sens' playoff chances mightily.
