The Detroit Red Wings acquired Michigan native Alex DeBrincat from the Ottawa Senators on Sunday in exchange for two players and draft picks.
The Red Wings signed the 25-year-old DeBrincat, a two-time 41-goal scorer from Farmington Hills, to a four-year extension worth about $7.8 million annually.
In exchange for DeBrincat, the Senators acquired forward Dominik Kubalik, defensive prospect Donovan Sebrango, a conditional 2024 first-round pick and the Red Wings’ 2024 fourth-round selection.
DeBrincat has 187 goals, 186 assists and 373 points in 450 NHL games with the Senators and Chicago Blackhawks, who selected him in the second round (No. 39) of the 2016 draft.
Last season he ranked among Ottawa’s team leaders with 27 goals (fourth), 39 assists (fifth) and 66 points (fourth). He also had 11 power-play goals and six game-winners.
The Senators acquired the 5-foot-8, 178-pound DeBrincat after five seasons with the Blackhawks. He scored 41 goals in 2018-19 and 2021-22 and totaled 160 goals and 147 assists in 368 games for the Hawks.
The 27-year-old Kubalik played in all but one game last season with the Red Wings. He posted a career-high 25 assists and had 20 goals. Kubalik also is a former Blackhawk, totaling 62 goals and 54 assists in 202 games over three seasons.
The 21-year-old Sebrango, a native of Ottawa, split last season with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins and the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye. He recorded 12 points (one goal, 11 assists) in 23 games with Toledo and seven points (four goals, three assists) in 39 games with Grand Rapids.
Sebrango was an alternate captain with Team Canada at the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship in Edmonton and helped the Canadians capture a gold medal, recording two points (two assists) while skating in all seven tournament games.
