NHL GMs have to decide what DeBrincat's cap value is in his new contract. His next contract should not be based on what Ottawa paid for in acquiring him.
I don't know why the Wings do that trade.....they can sign an UFA for the same value, without giving up anything.
Sens and DeBrincat might find themselves in situation it's just QO this summer. DeBrincat hopes for a bigger contract as a UFA, Sens gets DeBrincat for one more year, or maybe even trade him at TDL.
