Bruins may be overlooking a better Red Wings trade target in Alex DeBrincat

Causeway Crowd argues that the Boston Bruins should target Detroit Red Wings winger Alex DeBrincat instead of pursuing Dylan Larkin or Simon Edvinsson. With Detroit struggling in the standings and DeBrincat heading toward unrestricted free agency, writer Nate Duffett suggests Detroit could consider a trade deadline move. DeBrincat has scored 80 goals over the previous two seasons and represents an established scoring punch for Boston's forward group.

The writer believes acquiring and signing the 28-year-old winger would strengthen Boston's top six alongside Fraser Minten and JJ Peterka. Duffett notes that Detroit's asking price for DeBrincat would likely be lower than for Larkin or Edvinsson, proposing prospect Will Zellers as a possible piece in a trade return.
