Bruins acquire Alex DeBrincat from Red Wings in four-player trade

The Boston Bruins have completed a trade to acquire forward Alex DeBrincat from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for three players and a first-round pick. The deal sends center Casey Mittelstadt, defensemen Mason Lohrei and Henri Jokiharju, along with a 2027 first-round pick to Detroit. DeBrincat, a proven 40-goal scorer, had a standout season last year, notching 41 goals and 85 points. His contract expires at the end of this season, making him an unrestricted free agent afterward. The trade positions Boston to strengthen their roster while providing Detroit with new assets as they navigate a challenging period without a permanent GM.
