That's not a good contract in about 3 years. He'll turn 34 before the season starts. 

Penguins are in process of trading for Karlsson--deal. Petry is the hangup?

Toronto signing Bertuzzi and trading Nylander.

I saw Dorion is allowing DeBrincat to talk contract with other teams.  Wonder if this puts Detroit back in the mix.

Dallas was one of the teams on his list and they are gone now with the Duchene signing. The Preds signed Luke Schenn and Ryan O'Reilly so they are now out on DeBrincat's list too.

Yzerman didnt want to pay the assets was the rumor.

Dorion might just be looking to get the most out of him as a rental now...

Latest is that his demand for term is what has held up the trade.  Whatever teams are still in the bidding dont want to give him 7-8 years.
