I hope the kings don't get him.... Him and doughty would be insane.
I really really want the ducks to trade some assets for him. He's a player you open the shop for.
Kesler but he was older.... Chychrun fits our window much better. We also tried for PLD and Eichel but they wanted Zegras/Drysdale which obviously not happening.When was the last time the Ducks made a big trade of any value? They never moved anyone when they were good around 2011-2017 and that was with a young group of dmen that were very highly rated.
Walker played LD with Doughty last year at times.
Was thinking UFA this off season Chiarot, Lindhom or McNabb if available can all plug huge holes. Chychrun seems like another flavor of the month candidate...getting ridiculously overrated. I am all in if it doesn't cost us a ton though.
Under the radar moves, Shea Theodore, Tomas Harley, Soucy, Dunn from the Kraken, if Blake is willing to enquire and spend the assets.
We have a cheaper version of Dunn in Sean Durzi.

Agreed we definitely could have won another cup if we did. Trading Karlsson and losing Theodore for nothing also hurt but atleast we got something to look forward to now with some lucky players that fell to us recently.I'm not sure why Murray held onto all his prospect and never put together the kind of deal Lombardi did to make your team better. You had the assets, but he never moved anyone that I can remember that really had a big effect on your team.

We would have made it past Chicago in that game 7 if we had 1 more player. Kings weren't even in it that year.Of course you do know you'd have to go through us first, right?

Chychrun is good, but he's not Seth Jones level. I actually think he is overvalued here. You would think that he would see the toughest assignments on the ice - he does not. You would also think he would dominate weaker competition - he doesn't do that either.
Here is his CF% against quality of competition. He's always gotten easy starts, yet can't even get over 50% with his possession numbers.
Here is his GF% vs. QOC. Middling at best. Notice that his one good season offensively he faced the second weakest competition in his career.
Here is his DFF% (dangerous fenwick) vs QOC. Average, nothing special. Barely generating more danger than allowing it against middling to low competition doesn't say much.
If you look at graphs like this for Seth Jones, outside of his first two years in Nashville where he was a young guy on a stacked defense, his points are at the top of the graph (elite competition) and shifted to the right just about all seasons.
Between the injuries and underlying metrics there are a lot of red flags with Chychrun and a ton of risk. There is a very good chance whoever gives up a big package for him is going to be disappointed in what he brings. Fun fact: Mikey Anderson's danger%, CF%, and GF% are better this year than ANY of Chychrun's seasons, and he does it against absolute top competition. He's been amazing with Doughty, they have great synergy. I absolutely wouldn't include him in a deal.
Well this sucks!
I know, the road trips suck because of the travel, our guys will get it for sure.
Ok kid show us what you got....I want Kaliyev up there.
Well this sucks!
That same year, Mackenzie Weegar was 8th in Norris voting, and I don’t see anyone advocating trading for him on those grounds.
Chychrun at fair value is a fine defensemen, but he is not worth the ransom being suggested. One good season amidst a career of oft-injured decency isn’t basis for an overpayment on a decent player.
Please no Bropitar. That ship has sailedYep, Brown is getting moved up to the 1st line. I'd love to see Fagemo on a line with Turcotte. They've got some Ontario synergy built in
Absolutely agree. Had a nice look in his first game, let's give him some more.I'd rather slot FAgemo in there, keep the Lizotte line buzzing....
