Description
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ALEX DeBRINCAT HAS BEEN TRADED TO THE DETROIT RED WINGS! In a podcast first, nearly an hour of recording had happened before Steve Yzerman made the blockbuster deal to acquire Ottawa Senators scorer Alex DeBrincat in exchange for Dominik Kubalik, Donovan Sebrango, a conditional 1st round pick (Detroit's or Boston's), and a 4th round pick. Tune in as we begin (a much more exciting) round 2 of tonight's episode by discussing all theings Alex DeBrincat, starting off with our initial reactions to Hockeytown's newest scorer (4:50). Next, we discuss the value of Steve Yzerman's trade with Pierre Dorion, who won the deal, whether this is another case of The Yzerplan fleecing another team, how Kubalik and DeBrincat compare in terms of goal-scoring, the conditions on the 1st round pick, & more (8:00). After that, we analyze the 4 year, $7.875 million AAV extension that Alex DeBrincat signed with Detroit once the trade happened: was this good value? Why 4 years rather than 8 years? How did Yzerman get DeBrincat to sign so much lower than anticipated? All of that, the DeBrincat salary structure with clauses, & plenty more (21:30). After discussing Detroit's remaining trade assets & how it affects the Yzerplan's outlook (29:55), we then take a look at where Alex DeBrincat fits into the Detroit Red Wings lineup, line combinations, how this deal will affect Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, & other Red Wings stars, how DeBrincat slots into the power play, expectations & goal totals for the Cat's first season, & more (34:40). Finally, does bringing in Alex DeBrincat make the Detroit Red Wings a playoff contender? We answer that question, thoughts of "relief" on the Yzerplan, & more (49:20) before we take your questions during Overtime (57:45) - enjoy!
