Marchese: “But man, Alex, Alex DeBrincat back to back, 39-goal seasons. He’s, I used to be taking a look at this yesterday, this guy has missed 4 games his entire NHL profession.”

Friedman: “Yeah, regular guy.”
Marchese: “And he’s working on pretty incredible Iron Man streak. I like, to me it’s, it’s a credit to, he’s a smaller player. Like, it type of jogs my memory of Phil Kessel and that Iron Man streak. Phil had various things that folks were like, how on earth did he do it? But DeBrincat, like being a smaller guy, he doesn’t shrink back. He’s not a man that’s afraid of going into certain areas.
He’s also extension eligible on July 1st. Like, I ponder if Detroit, in the event that they get in, okay, it’s one thing, but in the event that they don’t, I ponder where things head with Alex DeBrincat.”
Friedman: “Well, I feel the thing is, like, I don’t know if I ponder that much. Like, the toughest thing to do on this league is rating, right?”
Marchese: “Yep.”
Friedman: “You recognize the very first thing you do, I mean, who knows? Like, but the very first thing you do if you trade a man like Alex DeBrincat is, let’s say, Uh-oh, where can we find 39 goals from?”
Marchese: “We search for Alex DeBrincat.”
Friedman: “Exactly.”
Mike Futa: “He loves it there, why would he …”
Marchese: “No, no, look, I’m saying, in the event that they, if they appear and say, ‘Something’s got to vary here.’ I ponder if that’s the direct(ion), with a man with one 12 months left on his deal. That’s going to be a giant ticket.”
Friedman: “I don’t know. Like, anything can occur, Matt. Like, I like, I’m not coming at this from a spot of information, like, I’ve looked into what’s happening with DeBrincat here. But, you understand, I feel this, like, those guys are hard to search out.”
