Yeah. He's pretty much what we paid for at this point. I wish he was a little bigger, but doubtful he would have landed in our lap in that case.
Confirmed with Link: DeBrincat signs for 4 year, $7.875 per year extension)

In part because they put Perron with Larkin and DeBrincat with Compher.
Maybe with the rest after the all-star break we'll see DeBrincat - Larkin - Kane as a line. It would be awesome for Detroit to have a dominant first line for the first time in more than a decade.
Haha gotta love the heart but it was almost comical because there was such a reach advantage. Would of landed a few bombs except he couldn't reach his face. It did spark the team though.

Alex DeBrincat (1-0—1) extended his point streak to eight games – now one shy of his career high (9 GP in 2018-19) – and matched the longest by a player entering an NHL outdoor game, first accomplished by another Red Wings forward, Pavel Datsyuk (8 GP in 2008-09), ahead of the 2009 Winter Classic.

DBC has been great this season. Hustles every game. He's been providing offense on a much more consistent basis. The Kane/DBC connection isn't horribly telegraphed this year. DBC and Ray have a special connection the PP.
He tries on D even though its still not a strong suit for him just because of his size. Love to see him catch a few guys off guard this season and just level them, but he is going to struggle along the boards if he gets pinned in long term.
Right now I think he'll get replaced in a couple of seasons just because we have a lot of small skilled wingers in the system, but he obviously really likes Detroit and is someone I could see taking a bit of a discount to stay on the team, especially if we are competing by then.

Ppl aren't going to like this but between this summer and next it yzerman deals him in a blockbuster trade I'd have 0 problem
I can't imagine for the life of me hes going to give debrincat 7-8 years next deal and I can't imagine debrincat taking 4 again
We'll likely have raymond larkin seider edvinsson locked up long term,possibly kasper if he keeps going this way by summer 26
+ all the kids coming up soon , I just can't see him being here when his contracts up

Seems unlikely at the moment. The way i see it, Cat could take a hometown discount to stay. Team is on the rise and i bet, he don't want to leave just to get an extra million somewhere else.
It's not an extra million. If yzerman gives him 8.75 x 4 years or he can get 9.25 x 7 years it's like 30 mill
I just can't see him getting a longterm offer here

More like if he can get 9.25x7, after a new 4 year deal he'll be 33. Still time to sign new contracts and after everything when he is done, the money he has left to the table is not in tens of millions.

I hope Cat sticks around after his deal. Dont really care about his size, I imagine by the time his deal is done the team likely doesn't have Kane and Berggren around. Not both anyways. If he continues something close to this level of play, give him an extension. He plays tougher than 90 percent of the team, wants to be in Detroit and is extremely talented and tenacious. A treat to watch every game this year.

Don't know if Cat will ever get the mega deal like that as far as lots of term. Teams are always going to be nervous about a break down due to his size. Add in, this is where he wants to be, it would be surprising to see him leave if we still want him.
His improvement in consistent scoring this year has been wonderful compared to the hot cold of last year.

Cat is an iron man. Entered the league in 2017 and he has only missed 4 games.

Between Cat, Larkin,Razor and Mo these were all fantastic contracts done by Yzerman. Hopefully he learned a lesson on the Copp's,Compher's Holl's and Chariot's of the world. July 1st just say no. Don't overpay due to the market.
