Insider Reveals Reason DeBrincat Wanted Out of Ottawa
Despite being a team on the cusp of taking the next step, it was clear that young star Alex DeBrincat had no interest in staying in Ottawa after a year with the team. An Insider has now revealed why.
According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, DeBrincat was not happy with his role with the team and basically forced the Senators' hand.
"DeBrincat made it impossible for the Senators to bring him back and even more difficult to trade him to anywhere but the Detroit Red Wings."
"Sources say he didn't like his role as a second-line winger behind captain Brady Tkachuk. If that's the case then DeBrincat really did have to go." - Bruce Garrioc, Ottawa Sun

DeBrincat is originally from Michigan, so a trade to the Detroit Red Wings certainly makes sense. Shortly after the trade, DeBrincat signed a new four-year extension with Detroit with $7.875 million per season.
