Alex DeBrincat trade: Who won the Blackhawks and Senators deal?

The Senators absolutely fleeced the Blackhawks for Alex DeBrincat.

It’s safe to say no one saw this coming ahead of the 2022 NHL Draft.

On Thursday, the Ottawa Senators acquired Alex DeBrincat from the Chicago Blackhawks in an absolutely stunning deal. There had been talks for a few weeks now that DeBrincat was likely on the move out of Chicago, but no one believed Ottawa to be a major player in this.

This isn’t the first eyebrow-raising trade of the day, as earlier on the Avalanche traded for goaltender Alexandar Georgiev of the Rangers, but DeBrincat to Ottawa absolutely blows that deal out of the water. Let’s take a look at how the Senators and Blackhawks grade out in the DeBrincat trade, with more madness still to come at the 2022 NHL Draft this evening.

Alexandar Georgiev trade: Who won the Rangers and Avalanche deal?

The Avalanche have shaken up the NHL goalie market with this trade.

It’s officially NHL Draft day and the trade madness has already begun.

With time winding down until the NHL Draft on Thursday night, the New York Rangers and Colorado Avalanche struck a deal to send a pending free agent out west to the current Stanley Cup champions. The Avalanche acquired goaltender Alexandar Georgiev from the Rangers, a move that will surely shake up the netminder market this summer with its implications.

Georgiev heading to Colorado is likely not the only trade we’ll get as we move through to the evening, so let’s take a look at how both the Avalanche and Rangers grade out here in this draft day deal.
