In a recent trade, the Ottawa Senators have sent star winger Alex DeBrincat to the Detroit Red Wings. The deal includes forward Dominik Kubalik, defenseman Donovan Sebrango, a conditional 2024 first-round pick, and a 2024 fourth-round pick going to Ottawa. DeBrincat, who was a restricted free agent, has signed a four-year contract extension with the Red Wings worth $31.5 million, with an average annual value of $7.875 million.
Hailing from Farmington Hills, Michigan, DeBrincat had an impressive season with the Senators, notching 66 points (27 goals, 39 assists) in 82 games. This past season was his first and only with Ottawa after being acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks in July 2022.
Initially, DeBrincat had expressed a desire to play out the 2022-23 season before considering a long-term contract extension with the Senators. However, after the campaign concluded, the talented forward made it clear that he did not intend to re-sign with Ottawa.
Drafted in the second round (No. 39 overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft by the Blackhawks, the 25-year-old star has amassed 373 points (187 goals, 186 assists) in 450 games over six seasons.
Dominik Kubalik stands out as the primary asset coming back to Ottawa in this trade. The 27-year-old forward recorded 20 goals and 25 assists in 81 games during the 2022-23 season with the Red Wings. He is currently in the final year of a two-year, $5 million contract he signed with Detroit last summer.
Kubalik was a seventh-round pick (No. 191 overall) by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2013 NHL Draft. Throughout his career, he has accumulated 161 points (82 goals, 79 assists) in 283 games, having played for both the Blackhawks and the Red Wings. His most impressive season came in 2019-20 when he notched 30 goals and 16 assists with the Blackhawks.
As part of the trade, the Senators also acquired 21-year-old defenseman prospect Donovan Sebrango, who recorded seven points (four goals, three assists) in 39 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the American Hockey League. Sebrango was selected by the Red Wings in the third round (No. 63 overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft.
