Now, according to the Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, a sign and trade could be close for the young star; take a look.
DeBrincat, 25, had a good season for the Senators last year, appearing in all 82 games for the club scoring 27 goals and adding 39 assists for a total of 66 points on a struggling and young Ottawa team.
One thing is for certain, the Senators are motivated to move on from DeBrincat and could likely get a large haul in return. It'll be interesting to see if this deal gets done this off-season, all indications are saying it will, but Pagnotta not wanting to put a timeline on it suggests it could take a little longer as well.
