Alex DeBrincat's Player Profile

Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News - Feb 2, 2016 - "At some point, you have to stop believing that DeBrincat has “lucked out” with his linemates and accept that there’s a reason coaches always stick him with top guys. The 5-foot-7 sniper has played with Connor McDavid, Dylan Strome and Auston Matthews and it’s because he can find space, wire the puck and thrive with elite players – not everyone can. DeBrincat is well on his way to another 50-goal season and the 2016 draft prospect is doing so with an entirely different type of center."

Damien Cox of Sportsnet - January 13, 2016 - "Had a rough world juniors. Was kicked out of one game, benched in another, and didn’t get extended first-line exposure."

Tyler Parchem of Elite Prospects - 2016 - "DeBrincat is a small player with a dynamic skill set. He is a pure sniper, scoring over 50 goals in two straight years in the OHL. He is very undersized, but can be very nasty to play against and shies away from no one. He had to deal with injuries at the 2016 World Junior Championship, but that did not hamper his production when he returned to the OHL. He skates well and is very effective around the net. He is hard to contain for such a small player, and has great chemistry with anyone he plays with."

Mike Morreale of NHL.com December 24, 2015 - "U.S. coach Ron Wilson said DeBrincat is the perfect top-line complement to Matthews. "[Matthews] is bigger and plays really hard all the time, so DeBrincat seems to be a guy who hides in the weeds. But he's effective, smart and he'll be a good linemate," Wilson said. DeBrincat (5-7, 163) has played well when skating with top offensive players. "
