🎂HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX DEBRINCAT🥳
DeBrincat celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday. The Farmington Hills, Michigan native played one season with the Senators scoring 27 goals and recording 39 assists for 66 points. He was traded to the Detroit Red Wings in return for Dominik Kubalik, Donovan Sebrango and a conditional 1st round pick in the 2024 NHL draft and a 4th-round pick in the 2024 NHL draft.
