Rumor: Jakob Chychrun wants to be traded to a playoff team

[ManofSteel55]

So..

1st + Holloway + Barrie

For

Chychrun

Probably not Holloway. A good prospect, sure, but I don't think it will be Holloway.

 

[Sol]

Wow he sounds like he’s sick and tired of the Coyotes. Don’t blame him. If he can stay healthy I’m sure his game will turn up a good few notches playing on a team that’s actually a competitive team rather than the embarrassment that the coyotes are.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He’ll be traded to the Kings.

....more like a Kings ransom. Yotes should act on this. He's a good player with some upside on a great deal. I feel like they could get some real good assets for him.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Poor guy has 3 more years until UFA.

Muzzin+Knies+Holl+2023 2nd for Chychrun+Hayton

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

He would fit pretty well on the Senators.
I think they have plenty of pieces that could interest the Yotes in a handful of young'ns quantity deal.

He said playoff team

 

[Hale The Villain]

Muzzin+Knies+Holl+2023 2nd for Chychrun+Hayton

What a generous offer.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

He said playoff team

Yeah, so the Senators

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Yeah, so the Senators

A playoff team.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Yeah, so the Senators

 

[sennysensen]

For Chychrun, I'm sure he'd take playoff team or Sens. (won't comment on if Sens are playoff or not)

He spent most of the summer at White Lake, about 40 minutes from Kanata, and with grandma who lives in Arnprior, 20 minutes from Kanata. He has let it know through back channels (Methot) that he'd love to be traded to his "home" team.

 

[Taluss]

Make it work Ottawa. Would absolutely love it

 

[wonton15]

What a generous offer.

Not even a first

I can’t take these posters seriously

Muzzin+Knies+Holl+2023 2nd for Chychrun+Hayton

Get real, Cold day in hell before jake Muzzin waives his full NTC for dumpster diving Arizona. Try more like Knies and 2 1st round picks. Muzzin+Holl and a late 2nd is a royal joke. it doesn't even get Chychrun let alone adding Hayton to the deal.

 

[Guttersniped]

Muzzin+Knies+Holl+2023 2nd for Chychrun+Hayton

Why is Hayton’s name accidentally added there at the end by mistake?

 

[StreetHawk]

AZ should move him sooner rather than later. He’s locked into a contract and has made some money. Not one of these other kids trying to secure their future in the nhl. This constant tanking may get to him and get this hurt his on ice play.

 

[PainForShane]

If Lundkvist got a mid-round 1st+ I don't even want to think about what the asking price on Chych would be. So, my guess is BA keeps him around until a team gets overly aggressive at the deadline -- like FLA was last year but decided to go with Chiarot / Giroux rentals instead (?!?!?!?). FLA should've given us what they gave up for those two guys, they would've had a young, future top pair for multiple years at under 5m

Muzzin+Knies+Holl+2023 2nd for Chychrun+Hayton

Take out Hayton. Change the 2nd to a 1st.

 

[TheNumber4]

He’d be traded already if the Yotes stopped trying to fleece someone and just made a fair trade.

 

[Heldig]

Poor Yotes. Just can't have nice things.

So true so true.

 

[Gurglesons]

Feel like I could see him going to PIT.

 

[Heldig]

Risky risky player in regards to long history of injuries that date back to Junior days.

Hahah but if Nils Lundqvist can get a 1st, im sure someone will overpay for JC.

Chychrun should be worth more than 2x what Lundqvist got. So a 1st, an A prospect and another pick / prospect seems fitting.

 

[MinJaBen]

The only thing that we can be certain of is that the Canes will be interested, but will be the one of the last two teams that don't get him.

 

[Boud]

I'm a Sens fan so obviously I would like to see a trade to Ottawa happen but even going back and looking at it from a outside perspective it makes a lot of sense for both sides.

Sens have been discussing Chychrun for a while, as reported by the most trustable sources in Ottawa media. Sens have been actively shopping for a defensemen.

Arizona is one of the only teams that could take Zaitsev as part of a deal like that. Ultimately it would improve the return for them as well.

Sens have the picks and prospects to make it happen and they really need another top 4 guy.

Chychrun already spends his summers in the Ottawa area and his family is here. iIRC Methot discussed with him at the possibility of coming to Ottawa and he was very open to the idea (discussed on WAM podcast).

Sens are finally on the upswing, Chychrun could be a major part of their playoff aspirations going forward and he would be more appropriately slotted on defense with Chabot and Sanderson already here. Taking some pressure off of him needing to be the guy.

I think we see it happen sooner than later. Arizona is playing the long game to see if teams get desperate but Chychrun wants to go. Sens are also doing the same thing, saying they're comfortable to start the season with what they have. We've seen this in the past where teams talk about waiting for the right offer and end up trading the player before the season starts or very early in the season. This is out in the open now. Very awkward to have players actively wanting to get traded on your team. If Arizona waits 10 or so games into the season they could get better offers from teams with poor starts but again don't see this dragging for very long.

This is a little alarming, no? Not sure how big of a package I’d give up in a trade.
