If the Detroit Red Wings miss the playoffs again and wish to shake things up, would they consider trading Alex DeBrincat?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sportsnet<\/strong><\/a>: Elliotte Friedman on The FAN Hockey Show on Detroit Red Wings Alex DeBrincat<\/a>. Matt Marchese wonders if the Red Wings would consider moving forward DeBrincat in the event that they miss the playoffs again and wish to shake things up. Friedman doubts it.<\/p>\n

Marchese: \u201cBut 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

a<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cYeah, regular guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marchese: \u201cAnd he\u2019s working on pretty incredible Iron Man streak. I like, to me it\u2019s, it\u2019s a credit to, he\u2019s a smaller player. Like, it type of jogs my memory of Phil Kessel<\/a> 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\u2019t shrink back. He\u2019s not a man that’s afraid of going into certain areas.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also extension eligible on July 1st. Like, I ponder if Detroit, in the event that they get in, okay, it\u2019s one thing, but in the event that they don\u2019t, I ponder where things head with Alex DeBrincat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Friedman: \u201cWell, I feel the thing is, like, I don\u2019t know if I ponder that much. Like, the toughest thing to do on this league is rating, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Marchese: \u201cYep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cYou 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\u2019s say, Uh-oh, where can we find 39 goals from?\u201d<\/p>\n

Marchese: \u201cWe search for Alex DeBrincat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mike Futa: \u201cHe loves it there, why would he \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Marchese: \u201cNo, no, look, I\u2019m saying, in the event that they, if they appear and say, \u2018Something\u2019s got to vary here.\u2019 I ponder if that\u2019s the direct(ion), with a man with one 12 months left on his deal. That\u2019s going to be a giant ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cI don\u2019t know. Like, anything can occur, Matt. Like, I like, I\u2019m not coming at this from a spot of information, like, I\u2019ve looked into what\u2019s happening with DeBrincat here. But, you understand, I feel this, like, those guys are hard to search out.\u201d<\/p>\n
