We Finally Know Why Alex DeBrincat Wanted Out Of Ottawa

Alex DeBrincat's departure from Ottawa this offseason raised eyebrows, and now, the primary motive behind this move has come to light.

Unraveling the DeBrincat Trade

In the previous offseason, the Ottawa Senators made significant strides to bring in Alex DeBrincat during the NHL draft.



However, a major turn of events led to DeBrincat moving to Detroit at a seemingly discounted rate.

Behind DeBrincat's Trade Request

The puzzle pieces have finally come together to reveal why the Senators let go of DeBrincat.


This perspective aligns with the noticeable drop in DeBrincat's performance when he was on the 2nd line. Had he been positioned on the top line, he might have easily surpassed the 40-goal mark again.

Nonetheless, the past is in the past, and DeBrincat is set to embrace new challenges, lining up alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond for the Red Wings.
