Sebrango has spent his entire pro career in the minors, but could that change soon in Ottawa?
After months of speculation, Alex DeBrincat is finally a Detroit Red Wing. They needed an impactful goal-scorer, and they got one.
You win some, you lose some. In this case, the Sens just need to look on the bright side: they can focus forward. Sebrango’s pro career has been quite short. Drafted with the 63rd pick in 2020, much of his recent development has been highly affected by COVID-19. Instead of going back to the OHL for 2020-21, he spent some time in the second-tier Slovakian league before playing 31 games with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins. He then stuck with Grand Rapids for the full 2021-22 season, registering seven points and 23 penalty minutes in 65 games.
From a playstyle perspective, Sebrango is versatile. He’s a mobile blueliner that can play just about any role, whether it be on the PK, in shutdown situations or in more physical matchups. He’s a stable defenseman that doesn’t get burned easily, and his transition game is good. The offense just hasn’t followed to make Sebrango a more effective defender, and he doesn’t have any specific traits that allow him to stand out just yet.
But, again, he’s still young. He’s still developing. Just months after getting drafted under unusual circumstances in 2020, he was thrown to the wolves. No in-between. That’s difficult for a third-rounder. And if there’s anything we’ve seen out of him, it’s upside. The way he thinks the game, the way he moves the puck, the way he skates – there’s enough to be intrigued about someone who instantly upgrades Ottawa’s defensive depth.
