heck of a deal or Detroit ... both in terms of what they had to give up and the contract they gave him. Never thought they'd get DeBrincat on a 4 year deal at this AAV, so hats off to Yzerman.
sucks for Ottawa, but it seemed like it was very much a "Detroit or bust" situation, so a bidding war never materialized and that's reflected in the return. They were also handcuffed because of the contract situation, so it was never a trade that they were going to win. But giving up two good picks for DeBrincat, only to settle for this return a year later ... yikes.
