Heard this discussed somewhere (DFO I think?) but Debrincat got squeezed by Detroit considering it was his preferred destination and the internal salary cap structure they have established. If I was guessing I'd say it probably knocked the overall price down about a million/yr under market (although the shorter term also likely plays a bit of a role here too. Player OK's it as will be UFA at like 29 with a - supposedly - massively risen cap).
