Yes, I don’t normally watch or pay any interest to the Memorial Cup, but with Alex DeBrincat in the middle of the tournament, it has at least part of my interest this year.
It’s funny how the opinions for DeBrincat have varied in the past few days and weeks when looking ahead to next season.
First off, in my opinion DeBrincat is the most exciting prospect the Blackhawks have had since Teuvo Teravainen. DeBrincat has scored 50 goals in all three of his junior seasons with the Erie Otters, and this year helped lead the team to the OHL Championship and a date in the Memorial Cup Final.
