Just now, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has provided a major update on the future of Alex DeBrincat.
DeBrincat is coming off a disappointing 27 goal and 66 point season. Ottawa had higher hopes for DeBrincat and will be forced to move on from him just one year after trading for him.
He will look for a fresh start with his hometown team.
The return is Dominik Kubalik, a 2024 1st round pick, Donovan Sebrango, and a 4th round pick.
Kubalik is coming off of a 45 point campaign. The Red Wings have the ability to give Ottawa either their first round pick or Bostons.
DeBrincat has already signed an extension with the Red Wings.
