Alex DeBrincat nearing seven-year extension with Red Wings

Alex DeBrincat and the Detroit Red Wings are reported to be on the verge of a seven-year contract extension, according to Sportsnet and The Hockey News. Both outlets indicate that talks have progressed to the point where a long-term deal is close, though no formal signing has been confirmed.

Daily Faceoff reports that the proposed agreement would carry an annual value of roughly $13 million. That outlet specifies this would be the per-season figure on DeBrincat’s new contract with Detroit, should the extension be finalized. Sportsnet and The Hockey News, meanwhile, focus on the projected seven-year term.

None of the three outlets mention any official announcement from the Red Wings or from DeBrincat’s camp, nor do they provide a timeline for completion. For now, the situation remains based on media reports from Sportsnet, Daily Faceoff and The Hockey News about the ongoing negotiations between the player and Detroit.
