It would have been ideal for Alex DeBrincat to sign with the Ottawa Senators, who were planning to extend him a qualifying offer. However, his agent is currently in talks with two other teams for a trade, which means that option is no longer available.
The Detroit Red Wings, Carolina Hurricanes, and an unnamed team out west are reportedly options for the winger.
As he is just now reaching his prime, any team that can acquire him will benefit, despite the complicated contract situation.
