Confirmed with Link: DeBrincat signs for 4 year, $7.875 per year extension)

It is definitely a wait and see kind of thing, but he could have easily gotten a 6-8 year deal when Yzerman signed him if he had been willing to consider other trade destinations. He clearly strong armed Ott into dealing him to Detroit.

Heck Ott probably would have given him a longer and better deal.

He seems very family motivated, and now he has young kids to boot. Now if Detroit offers him 2 mil off a 30/40 goal season I'm sure he'll move on but I could see him leaving money on the table to have the lifestyle he wants.

He took a 4 year deal to come home. I'd be seriously shocked to see him doing the same thing again

We'll see

The goals are great, the hits are big, but what I like the most about Alex is that he's a family man who is great in the locker room.

Great trade!

Should have locked him up longer he brings it every night - love the Kat
