In 2025-26, Donovan Sebrango, 24, posts a PAL Rating of 14 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.5 ranks 299th among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), no component is positive; the costliest: finishing (-1.6).
His WAR went from 0.0 in 2024-25 to -0.5.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 27 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Donovan Sebrango's story
Growing up between Kingston and Gananoque, Sebrango learned hockey as a Timbit before moving up the junior ranks. He initially committed to Boston University but reversed course when the Kitchener Rangers selected him in the second round, 40th overall, of the 2018 OHL Priority Selection. His 2018–19 rookie campaign established him as a steady presence on Kitchener’s blue line; across his time with the Rangers he played 119 games and posted 56 points, though the 2019–20 season was cut short by the pandemic.
Selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the third round, 63rd overall, of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Sebrango began his pro path amid COVID disruptions. With North American play delayed, he skated briefly for HK Levice in Slovakia’s 2. Liga before returning to sign an amateur tryout with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins, debuting there on 11 February 2021. Detroit signed him to a three-year entry-level contract on 15 March 2021, and he spent the next seasons splitting time between the AHL and the ECHL while building his professional experience.
On 9 July 2023 he was included in the trade that sent Alex DeBrincat to Detroit and was acquired by the Ottawa Senators. Ottawa assigned him chiefly to Belleville, with a short stint in the ECHL with Allen. He was recalled by Ottawa on 16 January 2025 and made his NHL debut that night in a 1–0 loss to the Washington Capitals, later appearing again before returning to Belleville. He signed a one-year, two-way deal on 3 September 2025, began the 2025–26 season on Ottawa’s roster, then was placed on waivers and claimed by the Florida Panthers on 16 October 2025.
Internationally, Sebrango was named to Canada’s team for the reordered 2022 World Junior Championship in August, served as an alternate captain and helped the squad capture gold with a 3–2 overtime win over Finland. On the ice he is best described as a steady, defence-first defenceman who moves the puck sensibly and defends his zone reliably—traits that have kept him moving between the AHL, ECHL and NHL rosters.
