DeBrincat's Saga

in exchange for three draft picks.
However, this summer, the forward left for Detroit in a trade that raised many eyebrows.
Why DeBrincat Wanted Out
Bruce Garrioch, a reporter covering the Ottawa Senators, revealed why DeBrincat wanted out of Ottawa.
DeBrincat scored only 27 goals and 66 points last season, but could he really have done better on the first line, against the top units of other teams?
Brady Tkachuk, on the other hand, scored 35 goals and 83 points last year. If DeBrincat was unhappy under Tkachuk, he should've worked harder to play better than his captain.
He'll be happier in Detroit, on the first line alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
