- Bruce Garrioch: DeBrincat has told the Senators that he will let them know what his intentions are before the draft.
- Shawn Simpson: “Anything on Debrincat is also pure speculation at this point. We don’t even know how the Sens feel about the player at this point. If they ever decided to move him at the draft, don’t expect a great return unless there’s a contract extension in place.”
