We here at Silver Seven Sens don’t get to watch a tonne of non-Sens hockey, so to better understand Alex DeBrincat, we reached out to sister blog Second City Hockey for their take on the latest addition to the Ottawa Senators.
1) We’ve seen the impressive stats, but from a regular observer, what are Debrincat’s strengths and weaknesses?
The goal-scoring is the obvious answer, considering he’s already had a pair of 40-goal seasons. He’s excellent at reading the play and moving to an open position where he can get a shot away. The word “cerebral” comes to mind in how he reads the game, always seeming to be one step ahead of his opponents.
