DeBrincat collected an assist for his first point as a member of the Senators on Saturday, albeit in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrincat is settling in with the Sens after five productive seasons honing his craft in Chicago alongside future Hall of Famer Patrick Kane. Last season, DeBrincat tied a career high in goals (41) and set the bar higher for himself with 37 assists and 28 power-play points, leaving the Senators with little choice but to buy high on him when they sent the seventh and 39th overall picks from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft -- as well as a 2014 third-rounder -- to the Blackhawks. That trade expedites a major rebuild for the Blackhawks, but time will tell if he's better off in Ottawa from a fantasy perspective. Currently, he's on the second line with burgeoning pivot Josh Norris and opposite an ageless wonder in Claude Giroux.
