Yzerman finally makes splash, acquiring DeBrincat to give rebuilding Red Wings a boost
Steve Yzerman made a major move to give the rebuildng Detroit Red Wings a desperately needed boost. Yzerman has preached and practiced patience for four-plus years as Red Wings general manager, but the bold move seems to signal a shift in his plan to get the franchise in gear quicker. The Hockey Hall of Famer, who spent his entire playing career in Detroit, acquired goal-scoring winger Alex DeBrincat from Ottawa on Sunday and signed him to a four-year extension worth about $7.8 million annually.
