Ian MendesCondition upon selection – The Red Wings have the option to field their 2024 first-round pick or the 2024 first-round pick they acquired from the Boston Bruins.
If the Bruins’ selection is in the top 10, the Bruins have the right to keep the pick and send the Red Wings’ 2025 first-round pick, unprotected. The Red Wings will have the option of a 2024 first-round fielding or a 2025 Boston first-round selection under that scenario.
Thoughts from the media
Corey Lavalette: What Ottawa gave up a year and two days ago to get DeBrincat:
- * 2022 first-round pick (#7 – Kevin Korczynski)
- • 2022 Second Round Pick (#39 – Paul Ludwinski)
- • 2024 Third Round Selection
Christine Shelton: “That’s all Detroit needs. A team hungry for quality scorers lands just that. And DeBrincat should be happy to play alongside other Detroit talents. Tidy work.”
Sean Shapiro: “Unless the Senators saw something that I didn’t see in Sebrango, it feels like Ottawa should have just taken him to arbitration and at least tried to get something on the deadline. Great job for Detroit”
Cam Robinson: “Overall, a really solid value by DET nabbing DeBrincat. The cost of acquisition is very palatable, and the 4-year extension seems to be baking to the upside while acknowledging the limited two-way play and inconsistencies. Love her.”
Brighton J. Wilson: “That sounds like a steal for DeBrincat.”
you overcome:”It seems that the agent must face reality. # the senses“
Joe responds: “I’m sure trading DeBrincat within the division is exactly what Ottawa wanted to do.”

A few notes about DeBrincat: Yzerman doesn’t seem to want to give him an 8-year term. In fact, we agree with Yzerman on this. In our eyes, DeBrincat is a bit of an overrated player. Although it is fun to watch a player with a great shot, he is not an elite winger in our eyes. pic.twitter.com/IBqaKj4XP5

AAV expected in a four-year deal is $7.7 million for DeBrincat. Assuming he signs with Detroit after the deal if he doesn’t take the cap. pic.twitter.com/KCkQ5TWhyP

A fair deal for what Alex DeBrincat is now, but he could be well below market value if he can bounce back into the player he was the previous two seasons. pic.twitter.com/6ECcI5nIrf
