If Stevie Y can pull off this trade and keep the extension to five years, that would be quite a feat.

Sorry for doubting you, Steve...Mr. Yzerman, sir.

sebrango, a 4th rounder, and either boston's first or our first, whichever is lower.

Stevie Y putting on a GM clinic. Amazing.

Do we know the conditions of the pick yet? Seeing any speculation out there about it?

Per Buddha. sebrango, a 4th rounder, and either boston's first or our first, whichever is lower.

No retention on Kubalik, i believe. I bet the Wings were pushing as hard as the Sens were for him to be imciuded.

Yzerman sent Dominik Kubalik, prospect Donovan Sebrango, a conditional first-round pick and a fourth-round pick in 2024 to the Ottawa Senators. The Wings can choose between their own or Boston's first-round pick, which is from the Bertuzzi trade and top-10 protected.

DeBrincat's resume shows his scoring prowess: 41 goals each in 2018-19 and 2021-22; 32 goals in 50 games in 2020-21 (the pandemic-shortened season); at least 20 goals in five of six NHL seasons. He has 187 goals and 373 points in 450 games. He has 11 goals and 30 points in 23 career games against the Wings.

if the boston pick doesnt convey next year (because its top ten protected), the wings get to choose whether to send their own pick in 2024 or boston's in 2025.

i actually think that's a fair trade for both teams.

So do I.  I don’t get the shocked Sens fans that they didn’t get enough.

Some of the folks on HF Boards were calling it a robbery and while I do think the 1st round pick protections are definitely to our benefit, I think it's still a decently balanced trade for Ottawa.

DeBrincat may have said "not signing anywhere but Detroit"...that would have made it difficult to maximize the return

Only signed him for 4 years?  Dude must really want to be here.  

[buddha]

enough to make them a playoff team?  probably not unless there is some big time growth from their prospects this year.  but theyre getting better.

4 years at less than $8m per makes it a great deal for detroit.

[slothfacekilla]

Great work by Yzerman, love every part of this. I’m guessing DeBrincat wouldn’t sign any longer without it being $8 million+ and I’m fine with this resolution.  Outside of the first round pick, the Wings probably didn’t give up anything they had real future plans for.   I’m excited to see our roster in action next season.

[jz68]

4 years is a great deal unless Debrincat kills it. Then we're going to be wishing he had been signed for 8 years at 9 million per.  

[Shinzaki]

This is a playoff contending team....we've added size and scoring and it didn't cost us any of our top prospects.  Great offseason for SY

[Hart]

You got to imagine we had some leverage here and Debrincat would not have taken this same deal with Ottawa.  That said, we deserve a break and I don't feel a bit guilty after all the bad luck we have had in the lottery.
