Speculation: Jakob Chychrun scratched for a trade

[Seattle King]

Has there been a report from any slightly reputable source other than Kypreos?
Seems strange that nobody is coming up with confirmation hours after this report.

JC
Vej

Clarke
Petersen

++ Being Clarke and a 1st.

That's pretty weird is it ? Matthews is an established star in the NHL, with a 60 goal season and league MVP under his belt and he's by all means not an old man, yet Bedard's **potential** might actually trump any chance of the team holding the #1 pick overall from making a trade like this, 1 for 1, even if they had the chance to !

The problem with these elite stars for 1st overall hypotheticals is that the 1st overall team usually sucks and is more than a matthews away from competing. So they’d be outright insane to make that trade. Matthews is still better and more valuable overall than the player that will be picked, just not for the position that team happens to be in.

I’m surprised if Clarke is part of it but as @Osprey said, the Kings have a log jam of rhd. Spence has proven himself at every level and should be in the NHL.

Clarke could be special but I was almost expecting him to go to the AHL for a full year. He is very slender and will need to rely on his elusiveness for now. I’m not worried about his skating.

That being said, I’d hate to move him strictly for Chychrun. Hoping it’s a bigger deal with Vejmelka involved and Peterson’s cap going out.

Yeah Kypreos has had some quotes that make me think he’s still feeling concussion symptoms.

Can someone interrupt Kevin Weekes’ ride down Splash Mountain?

Very good

Anderson Doughty

But also probably like this

There's a lot of combos you could mess with.

Jakob Chychrun - Drew Doughty
Mikey Anderson - Matt Roy
Alexander Edler - Sean Durzi

 

[Mighty Makar]

Kings would have eliminated the Oilers last year if Doughty and Arvidsson played.

Very likely, but don’t say it too loudly.

 

[Blowfish]

So no confirmation Chychrun traded?

 

[Shellz]

So no confirmation Chychrun traded?

Nope

 

[deaderhead28]

Anderson Doughty
Chychrun Roy
Edler Durzi
Walker

Walker would have to go to Arizona for cap reasons.

 

[JoeSakic13]

So no confirmation Chychrun traded?

My sources have told me that I can officially confirm we have no idea what is going on.

 

[JJDrums]

Regardless, any future draft picks need to be tied to games played by JC

 

[LAKings88]

Walker would have to go to Arizona for cap reasons.

Depends on Peterson I would think but sure throw him in. Or send him to Ottawa for a pick.

 

[SSCBLUEJET]

Someone posted this today: Chychrun spotted on flight to denver

He was sitting next to Elvis.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Vej + Chychrun would be a perfect fit for the Kings. I wouldn’t even be mad parting with Clarke + a 1st as the core package

 

[kings11]

Rumor has it that Vilardi was the ask a while back and the Kings refused to include him. So no chance Vilardi, Byfield or Clarke were ever on the table. My guess now is Kaliyev + a Dman + picks\prospect. If it's that steep I would pass.

The ask was Vilardi, Moore, Bjornfot and a 1st… and rightfully so, the Kings said no

Arizona is simply trying to get a team to move on the requirements , while making sure Chicken run is not injured after they attempted to overshowcase him on Friday.
The only thing getting me worried is how good Kopi has been with Byfield and his and Quicks closing windows.
That could get Blake to move.
Hate the idea off trading Clarke but Spence would be more likely to be held in this type of win now move by topping a weak Pacific launch pad.
Clarke is not defensively ready and would be in the AHL next year anyway,.
Chycrun is like an expensive vase on a pillar.
Ends up broken porcelain on the floor.
