God, I hope these are false reports but I’ve now seen on multiple outlets that the Detroit Red Wings have a “handshake deal” in place with the Ottawa Senators for Alex DeBrincat.

There are a number of red flags with these reports namely being that we don’t typically hear about things Steve Yzerman is doing until he’s already done them.

The other is that multiple “caveats” have been place on the would-be deal such as, an unnamed specific prospect available to OTT at 17 still needing to be on the board and also an extension in place for DeBrincat.

I also saw a report that alleged Detroit could give up as much as #17 pick, BOS 2024 1st round pick & Zadina. I would literally throw up if that happened.

I don’t want DeBrincat at all, I hope this is fake.
