The Senators have taken Alex DeBrincat into salary arbitration as trade talks continue
Bruce Jarioch from the Ottawa Sun: Sources say the Ottawa Senators will take suspended RFA forward Alex DeBrinkat to salary arbitration and bid for a prize under $9 million for next season.
GM Pierre Dorion hinted in an interview that he would do this if they couldn’t sign DeBrincat to a long-term deal. You mentioned that DeBrincat is not involved in signing long term.
The Senators have been actively trying to trade it in and would like to do so before July 1st.
“We choose to go to arbitration and ask for a 15% reduction on his qualifying offer,” Dorion explained. “You look at other teams and they’ve done that in the past. I’m just trying to give our fans as much information as possible because if something like this happens, we’re all in business here.
“If we see that we can’t get anything done, then we have to do better for the team because we’ll probably be a big team next year. At $7.65m instead of Alex DeBrincat’s $9m, maybe that helps us sign another player we want to get.” “.
This step will also disqualify him from the offer sheet. DeBrincat will also be eligible to talk about the contract with the acquisition team. The Flames did just that with Matthew Tkachuk last season.
It is believed that his trade wish list includes the Dallas Stars, Nashville Predators, Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden Knights and Detroit Red Wings.
Carolina Hurricanes, Washington Capitals, Seattle Kraken, and St. Louis Blues.

Murray Bam: Puck Pedia notes that the Ottawa Senators can trade Alex DeBrincat at any time. If an arbitration hearing begins at some point, he will not be eligible for an extension until after January 1st, which will reduce the value of his trade.
TSN: The Senators will attempt to trade Alex DeBrincat by late July/early August before the arbitration session so they can work on a multi-year signing rather than a one-year one once the arbitration session begins.
“I think they’re going to put a push here to get this deal done a lot, much sooner than through the draft this month. There’s said to be very strong interest from the youngest teams that DeBrincat and his camp have come up with. And now for the Senators, it’s working through those conversations and finding the best return. “.
