The start of free agency is set for July 1st, and many teams have already taken action. The Chicago Blackhawks, for one, wasted no time in bringing in experienced players to fill leadership roles on their team.
Now that the draft is over, it remains to be seen whether this trade will come to fruition. DeBrincat has also been linked to the Detroit Red Wings, while Konecny was rumored to be headed to the Edmonton Oilers.
It's uncertain whether DeBrincat would be willing to join a team that is currently in the rebuilding process, given that the Senators have just finished their own rebuild, according to Pierre Dorion.
