Chychrun’s Megathread V (poll added)

[jmelm]

Unfortunately Klingberg will be on the trade market at the deadline again, creating a cheaper option than Chychrun.

But don’t forget! There’s another option that’s cheaper than both!

Thats a rather poor comparison. AZ also had that deadbeat. Chychrun would be leaving a tanking team with bodies for an exciting young team on the upswing. Chychrun is also rather attached to Canada while Stepan isn't.


My question was more about the would come here part? Every team has had such issues at some point, I don't think Ottawa has had many when they have some promise

I believe he was emphasizing an excitement level.

Ok, that part i would understand.

Didn’t Hossa ask out? Heatley. Alfredsson got pissed off and left. None really recent but there is no denying that Ottawa is a less than desirable market so when you can acquire a player excited to join like potentially Chychrun that adds to the appeal.

Not exactly a marquee UFA destination. Cold in-season climate, high taxes, lack of competitive track-record, lacks the history of most Canadian franchises, and brand equity that’s just barely lifting off of rock bottom.

Having a top-end player who’s locked in for three years and just entering his prime would be huge for them. A la DeBrincat.

Well, yeah - but only to live out his life long dream of eventually retiring an Arizona Coyote. #Buildthestatue

With Klingberg off the board, Calgary flipping Weegar is the only thing that can really disturb BA from getting what he wants.

Pittsburgh, Minny, Columbus, Jersey, Oilers, Detroit, Buffalo should all be lurking in the weeds as well for various reasons. If you've got cap to dump, AZ might take it discounted in a Chychrun trade, same as the OEL deal (for the right return, of course).

Nobody else is shopping around a 24yo LD at $4.6m or less while also taking on cap. This summer is the best opportunity.

 

[Canis Latrans]

Very little chance of that happening.

Yeah, too many ifs like I said.

I think that's a fan's fantasy - generally, when teams and players move on from each other in a context like this, there's not much chance of a reunion. Although, there ARE exceptions (Vrby, for one).

Of course it's far-fetched, but nevertheless - very unlikely his free agency comes at a time when the team would even want to be adding a significant piece from free agency.

If you're gonna dream you might as well dream in Technicolour

I don't think I've ever dreamed in Technicolor, but have in sepia tone and claymation (Nightmare before Christmas style)!

Must suck to need to trade for a defenceman and realize you’re backed into a corner by Bill Armstrong.

Who's backed into a corner?

Wrong on a number of points. Hossa was shocked and upset to be traded. He didn't want to leave. Heatley and Alfredsson both wanted out/left after contract disputes. Alfredsson and his family remain permanent residents of Ottawa.

 

[Jakey53]

I think you have some revisionist history in this post. I don't recall ever reading about Hossa wanting out. Heatley wanted out after a public contract dispute. Alfredsson left as an old guy to chase the Cup, he returned to live on Ottawa after his career ended. The only issues I ever read about Ottawa are arena location and cheap Owner. I recall almost no one that matters asking to get traded out of the market.

I find it funny how Coyote fans want to shit on Ottawa, yet get made when people shit on the Coyote's with valid reasons. I think Coyote fans should sweep their own doorstep before others.

Someone leaking something.

Either AZ to inflate price or Ott to prepare fan base.

I think it’s the Chychruns trying to spark something while there’s still time before camp.

Showing your true colors. One Coyote fan dumps on Ottawa, ten Coyote fans defend Ottawa, and you post the above. If you are, indeed, a Coyote fan Jakey the above post is an example of self-hating.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Chychrun is also rather attached to Canada while Stepan isn't.

I have to ask: From where (exactly) did you glean this information?

I heard the self hatred had him cutting himself, but when his blood was Coyote red, he was further enraged that it wasn’t Oiler orange!

Worst thing I’ve said about the Sens is that they’re the Yotes of Canada. Haha.

Whatever you say.

Google it. Dad from Ontario, many family members there, played there when he was up younger and spends summers at Family cottage in Ontario.

However the family has been in Florida for years. Dad does color for the Panthers now.

And Papa Chychrun flew Jakob from Florida to Detroit every weekend to be in the Little Caesar’s program when he was growing up.

So I wouldn’t tend to believe the Ontario roots mean all that much.

I never said he had such roots. I said he is far more attached to Canada than Stepan. He played for Canada in the past and had hoped to be in consideration for Olympic team.

Well you were trying real hard to sell the Ontario connection.

I just put it a more reasonable context.

Johnny Gaudreau was all set to go anywhere but C-Bus yet that’s where he ended up. Figuring out where Chychrun would go is an exercise in futility. Because it’s going to depend on what BA is willing to take for him.

I was not selling anything, I just challenged the thought that Stepan and Chychrun were comparable in regards to Ottawa. One is clearly an American who didn't move his Family to Ottawa and the other spent part of his youth, lots of his summers, and has Family in Canada while playing for the Country. I'm also not trying to figure it out? You should read the posts without assuming the motives.

There’s really no point then in speculating on this, is there?

Why don't you go back and read the thread? I asked what the middle part of a quote meant as it said Chycrun would go to Ottawa. I couldn't see any way he wouldn't, with no trade protections having familiarity with the area? I don't seem to recall you saying much about the thousands of speculative posts in here??

Feeling a bit persecuted??

Didn’t know I had to post an answer to every single post in this forum to justify making a response to one of yours.

I went through the trouble of even giving you an out in my last post by summing it all up as a load of unnecessary speculation.

But since you have an insatiable urge to always have the last word….

‘Cuz it ain’t my first rodeo.
