I did not expect this at all, especially when the Senators were trying to dump Murray's cash at a high cost. Debrincat is one of the most expensive and difficult to extend players who was available. Unless there is an agreement in place, he's basically on a 2x9M contract.
I think I've probably spent the last month telling people on here that there was no way Debrincat to Ottawa was in any way realistic.
Did Dorion get an angry call from Brady Tkachuk or something?
Now the fascinating part is seeing what other moves happen in relation to Murray, Zaitsev, etc. That will show the true cost of this acquisition. If the Senators can add Debrincat without dumping cash, that's a great sign going forward in relation to the team's spending. It's very confusing though when they were hours removed from trying to pay a high price to dump Murray.
