Speculation: Jakob Chychrun being held out of the Coyotes lineup until a trade is completed

[Spitfire11]

Detroit in on Chychrun now?

It would be surprising. They just resigned Walman and Maata and have Chiarot on the left side as well with Edvinsson and Wallinder both LHD as their top prospects.

Chiarot is barely an NHL defenseman right now.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Lol Arizona

 

[Umingmak]

Well they just re-signed Maatta and Walman on their left-side for the next couple years and they have Chariot.

Dump Chiarot on Arizona (obviously the Wings would have to add even more than the Coyotes already want) as part of the trade? IDK.

 

[Nakawick]

Ottawa put a damper on Detroits season.

Could he be going for Karlsson?

 

[BB88]

Revisit a trade at the draft when more teams may inquire.

Like that wasn’t heard last year?

So damm many teams that were interested in Chychrun have traded their way out of Chychrun.

The best market for him has passed already, just get it done

 

[Empoleon8771]

It really just seems like Pittsburgh is the only team left in on Chychrun at this point, right?

Don't sleep on St. Louis.

 

[scallionjj11]

You are obviously very young or didn’t follow the nhl very closely.

none of the above.

It's sad we you have to bring up "huge" free agent signing back from 02

you're either delusional or Bill Armstrong

 

[Empoleon8771]

Nah, I think they traded Hronek to give Edvinsson a roster spot. Get an insane return for him now and opens up a spot for your top prospect, seems pretty logical to me.

 

[Burkeocet]

One of the biggest fumbles this year for sure. They surely had lots of offers for him and sat on their hand too long now he’s worth significantly less.

There’s only like 1-2 teams who he even really fits in on that haven’t made major moves yet. A trade to Buffalo makes sense but they seem to be patiently building and keeping pace.

If he’s not moved by the deadline for a good return, this is a massive failure and an embarrassment to the team who’s faced countless of those in the past.

Ottawa kinda makes sense too

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

While I'm enjoying the sideshow I do think he's the last move/one of the last moves at the deadline. Two teams at least have reportedly met the ask and quibbled on small details, Armstrong clearly just holding out to see who tips the scales at the end. Or who enters the race after watching others drop out.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Jets?

Have the Jets been tied to Chychrun? I thought it was only Pittsburgh and St. Louis left of teams who have been clearly tied to Chychrun.

All of the other big favorites from before (Boston, Washington, Carolina, Edmonton and LA) have traded for alternatives at this point.

Patience is key young man. People said the same about Joe Sakic when he held out on trading Duchene. How did that turn out?

friedman has also mentioned the past 2 days that he thinks the jets have been in on him

 

[kingpest19]

During one of the intermissions of the CBJ/BUF game last night, Emily Kaplan straight up said that Armstrong has received offers from 2 different teams that meet his reported asking price.......but that he's now holding out to get the absolute most possible.

We'll see if she's right or not. But apparently he has gotten what he wants, but now wants more if possible. If that's the case, we'll hear about a trade roughly 3:15 PM ET tomorrow (as in, league office gets it at 2:59).

Wasn't it reported yesterday that one of those teams was Edmonton and that they had a deal but then Armstrong asked for more which caused them to go after Ekholm.

Hurricanes are still stacked with picks. Them getting Gostisbehere doesn’t impact interest in Chychrun.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ottawa already cleared room with the Zaitsev trade but they think the price is too high. Dreger said the ask was one of Greig/Sogaard and two 1st rounders.

 

[Empoleon8771]

They don't have a roster spot or cap space for him anymore.

From an outsider looking it, it seems like they have Slavin, Skjei and Gostisbehere on LD and Pesce, Burns and Coghlan/Chatfield on RD.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Dump Chiarot on Arizona (obviously the Wings would have to add even more than the Coyotes already want) as part of the trade? IDK.

Another factor is his NTC. I would have to not include AZ.

f*** it, throw in hagg and lindstrom as "sweetners"

 

[kilowatt]

At this point, I think LA should go all in and grab Chychrun and Bjugstad from Arizona. No point in holding back now. If Clarke's off limits, that's fine, but then send next year's first, Kaliyev, Spence, whatever else.

Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Fiala - Bjugstad - Vilardi
Iafallo - Lizotte - Kupari

Kings already have one of the deepest forward groups in the league and adding Bjugstad really solidifies the bottom six, allowing Lizotte to slide back down into the 4C role that he excels at.

Anderson - Doughty
Chychrun - Roy
Gavrikov - Durzi

That's a defense that can make some serious damage in the playoffs, and you've got Edler and Walker ready to step in in case of injuries. Depth matters a lot in the playoffs.

Korpisalo
Copley

Maybe they can win the cup with this roster and forget about all the Quick stuff.
