Debrincat scored 27G - 39A in 82GP for Ottawa last season. He was a (-31)
In his first 25GP for the Wings he scored 13G-11A and was a (+7)
He's on pace to easily eclipse his PPG from last year ... and more importantly (arguably) his three zone play / detail / effort off the puck has improved exponentially.
Pure offense - averages around 18:00 TOI - ES 14:00 - PP 4:00
Aggressive getting pucks to the net. Dangerous shooter on the power-play.
Adding Patrick Kane to the Wings lineup could lead to another level off offense from Debrincat.
He and Kane were line mates together in Chicago and both feed off each other.

Riding a hot stick to start the (23/24) season.
Compliments Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
Element is easy to identify. Goal scorer. Offensive zone awareness / vision to find open space. When he gets clean looks at the net he is more likely to score than waste his chances. 39% shooting percentage through first seven games.
Can frustrate defensively but his offense wins out.
F1 averaging 17:43 TOI - 14:33 ES - 3:09 PP - does not PK.
Pure offense.

Off to a fantastic start in Detroit.
Averaging 17:11 TOI / 14:35 ES / 2:35 PP#1 / Does not penalty kill.
5G-3A through 4GP - 2 PPG - 2PPA - credited with 2 hits and 2 shot blocks
Plays on the Red Wings top line along side Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond
Playing to his strengths. Reads the ice very well from the offensive red line into the opposing teams zone. Makes himself available for his line mates. Finds quiet ice in high danger areas and knows how to finish.
The kind of offensive talent that can be polarizing at times due to his range of effort defensively and detail off the puck. Offense wins out though. An elite offensive talent when his compete level is running at 100%.
