Does an Alex DeBrincat to the Red Wings deal make any sense?

There’s been projections about Alex DeBrincat coming to the Detroit Red Wings ever since speculation first began that the Ottawa Senators might be looking to move the high-scoring winger.

Putting the pieces together, TSN director of scouting Craig Button makes a compelling case as to why DeBrincat to the Red Wings makes perfect sense.

“Alex [DeBrincat] has proven to be a very good goal scorer in the National Hockey League,” Button noted. “And when you look at the Detroit Red Wings . . . they have a prospects list that is really deep.”

That’s true. But it’s also true is that the Senators and Red Wings are both situated in the Atlantic Division. Going forward as both teams develop their burgeoning prospect pools, it would be surprising to see each club grow into contenders for the division title. That being the case, does Ottawa really want to trade an elite goal scorer to a division rival?

Red Wings In Case You Missed It

  • An Erik Karlsson trade is a go according to an NHL source. Could Detroit be a destination for this year’s likely Norris Trophy winner?
  • Would the Red Wings draft Ryan Leonard?
  • Detroit is looking for new Grand Rapids Griffins coach Dan Watson to bring a winning culture to the club’s AHL farm team.
  • Swedish defenseman Axel Sandin-Pellikka is a coveted right-shot rearguard. Does he make sense as the player the Red Wings might select at ninth overall in the NHL entry draft.

Red Wings Offseason

It turns out that Detroit Hockey Now . . . well, me specifially, owe Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera an apology. Yesterday, I wrote that Cabrera was off target with his shot to conclude the Red Wings-themed home run celebration following his first dinger of the season.

Upon further review, Miggy didn’t miss the net. He picked the corner. His shot leaked through a hole in the twine just inside the post. The Red Wings turned Cabrera’s first-ever hockey shot an even more memorable moment by adding a play-by-play call of the tally from Ken Kal, the club’s radio voice.
