Not to be disrespectful, apparently it seems like I’m living under a rock. Who is this guy?
#39th overall pick by Chicago in the 2016 draft. Dropped in that draft because he's 5ft7 and some of his linemates in the years before the draft were named Connor McDavid and Dylan Strome.
He scored 28 goals (most out of all Hawks) in his rookie season last year, playing mostly a third line role and getting limited PP time for half the season.
He's now playing on the top line with Toews and a rookie from Germany named Kahun. DeBrincat (or Brinksy as some of us refer to him) has 7g and 4a in 7 games so far this season, in large part to his nasty wrister and awesome positioning skills.
A 9minute highlight video from last year if you really wanted to know who he was (or for anyone else not sure of what he's like).
