under contract for two more years after this one, though.Chychrun is not worth it, more so because of his desire to be elsewhere.
That's what I'm afraid of. If he doesn't want to be here we shouldn't trade for him.Chychrun is not worth it, more so because of his desire to be elsewhere.
the trade target criteria is already:That's what I'm afraid of. If he doesn't want to be here we shouldn't trade for him.
For me it's the injury history.Chychrun is not worth it, more so because of his desire to be elsewhere.
As I pointed out earlier, I think you should also need to consider which version of "I don't want to be here" Chychrun we would be getting in that scenario...if they get chychrun, and he doesn't want to be here, they'll have two-plus years to get him to change his mind. if he doesn't, they can trade him again to recoup the costs.
he requested a trade from arizona nearly two years ago and has played extremely well in that timeframe, so that's not a huge concern for me.As I pointed out earlier, I think you should also need to consider which version of "I don't want to be here" Chychrun we would be getting in that scenario...
"I don't like it here but I'll play hard every game and be a good teammate"
"I don't like it here and I might try to quit and force a trade"
That would go well with your Keith Kinkaid CBJ jersey.I can’t wait to buy a quick jersey so I can confuse the hell out of people in 5 years.
Really sounds like this guy is intent on being a dbag, get him moved out ASAP.
I disagree. If you’re a UFA on an expiring contract, you should ALWAYS be aware you could be traded at the deadline (especially a guy with no NTC). Especially a vet that’s been around as long as Quick. Carter was different because he just signed an 11 year deal with Philly so I didn’t blame him for being a dbag when he was sent here. Quick knows better and I guarantee the possibility had at least been floated to him by management this season.Why are people low key crapping on Quick? He might be over the hill but he's the one who got screwed in this deal, no fault of CBJ. I say show some respect and bring him in and squeeze what you can out of the guy He's a cup winning goalie and he didn't luck into it by being "good enough".
IMO it would be worth it just for the stories, given he gets over his disappointment and actually reports in. There's even a small chance (very very small) that he'll yoda Elvis into a future star just by his mythical presence and battle aura!
Dude just got blindside traded by the franchise he's played all his career for, currently in his 16th (!!) season, to the team placed last in the standings. You'd feel a bit grumpy yourself I bet. He's not the dbag in this situation.
Yeah I know, but the ask is 3 first rounders and a roster player.under contract for two more years after this one, though.
Yeah, but wait until the off-season and other guys might be available. For instance if the Rangers are going to lose Miller, I think we could offer a very nice packagehe's the best defenseman available and is on a very cheap contract. he's the best option out there to improve the defense. adding him should significantly improve the team. orlov is the best UFA option, he 1) isn't as good, 2) is way older and 3) is looking for a 7-year deal.
Assuming he stays healthy and plays well sure. But if they trade him and don’t get what we pay, how does that help?if the team improves enough to be competitive within the next two years, maybe chychrun decides to stick around. if not, they just trade him to recoup most of the initial cost.
Agree to disagree I guess. He’s a great player, but I’m not convinced this team is close enough to being competitive for this to even be worth it. Why can’t this wait until the draft? He will make the team better THIS season which is not what we want..there's a bit of risk, but there's risk in any move. this one has a clear out and a ton of upside. personally, i think it's worthwhile.
How many of those teams can legit spend 2 1st rounders (in value) for Chychrun in the summer?Not sure he waits for the summer. Many of the suiters who traded their way out of Chychrun this season are able to trade for him again. If he truly wants Chychrun, now is the time.
Signed a 10 year deal, is in the final year of it and is 37 years old. I’d be furious.Really sounds like this guy is intent on being a dbag, get him moved out ASAP.
I'd describe it as kind of like how we felt with the Atkinson trade at the time, only several orders of magnitude worse because:Why are people low key crapping on Quick? He might be over the hill but he's the one who got screwed in this deal, no fault of CBJ.

Oh, c'mon. Yes, we've been burned before by mopey assholes, but this is a legit exceptional situation for the guy. I refuse to assume he's an unprofessional dick until he actually is one, and I seriously doubt he would be.Really sounds like this guy is intent on being a dbag, get him moved out ASAP.
