Two New Teams Emerge as Frontrunners for Alex DeBrincat
If you follow hockey, chances are you've heard about the Alex DeBrincat sweepstakes that's currently ongoing. Ottawa has been hard at work trying to move him elsewhere, and while it's been a long process, it looks like we might be nearing a close.
New Options For DeBrincat
According to a new report by Elliotte Friedman, Anaheim and New York are now in on DeBrincat, as well as the obvious suitors, Detroit. The Ducks and Islanders have been more aggressive lately, and it looks like a deal might be getting close.
While Anaheim and New York are intriguing options for the young sniper, we shouldn't count out Detroit just yet.
Detroit Might Be Close
Friedman went on to add that Detroit is likely closer to a deal than most people think.
Most of this relies on the ability of the team and DeBrincat's agent to get a deal done. If a contract cannot be reached between the two sides prior to the trade being made, then a trade likely won't happen.
It will be interesting to watch this unfold in the near future.
