Fair point on trading him, but not Sure if you get the same value back with him as a rental (of course depends on what it would take to get him)
Like we did with Panarin?he has two more years after this one. his deal is up at the end of 2025. he won't be eligible to sign an extension until july 2024.
so, like… if you trade for him, and he doesn't extend by the trade deadline in 2025… you can just trade him then and recoup the initial cost.
If we're anywhere near where we were in Panarin's last year by the time we're at Chychrun's last year I suspect quite a lot of people here will be very happy indeed.Like we did with Panarin?
Point is, we never recouped the cost. But people are talking in absolutes regarding the same thing wrt Chychrun.If we're anywhere near where we were in Panarin's last year by the time we're at Chychrun's last year I suspect quite a lot of people here will be very happy indeed.
The cost wasn't recouped because there were specific (and good) reasons for keeping him, not because we didn't have the option.Point is, we never recouped the cost. But people are talking in absolutes regarding the same thing wrt Chychrun.

Isn’t your implication that it will be just like panarin also an absolute?Point is, we never recouped the cost. But people are talking in absolutes regarding the same thing wrt Chychrun.
I’m saying people assuming that we can “recoup” the costs are wrong. A lot an change, guys get hurt, teams surprise you, etc. people thought Panarin would stay, or would be traded.Isn’t your implication that it will be just like panarin also an absolute?
I am your fatherOnly a Sith deals in absolutes anyway
the panarin trade was 10000% worth it imo.Like we did with Panarin?
they absolutely could recoup assets. would the situation call for it or allow it? maybe not.I’m saying people assuming that we can “recoup” the costs are wrong. A lot an change, guys get hurt, teams surprise you, etc. people thought Panarin would stay, or would be traded.
If 2025 comes and the Jackets are in the 2nd wild card spot battling with Detroit/Sens and they don’t trade Chychrun at the TDL, then lose him fin UFA that summer, is it worth it?the panarin trade was 10000% worth it imo.
also panarin was far and away our best player and there were zero in-house replacements. would be a completely different situation with chychrun. he'd make them more competitive in the medium-term as a veteran alongside gaudreau, werenski, laine and jenner. his age makes him a potential long-term piece alongside johnson, jiricek, sillinger and potentially bedard. they'd also have in-house options to replace him in mateychuk/svozil.

if they have a legit swing at a cup in 2024-25 with chychrun and no extension, i'd hold onto him and let mateychuk take over the next year.
the answer to that hypothetical is entirely predicated on how the playoff series ends up going.If 2025 comes and the Jackets are in the 2nd wild card spot battling with Detroit/Sens and they don’t trade Chychrun at the TDL, then lose him fin UFA that summer, is it worth it?
Or if they even make the playoffs (I realize it is a hypothetical)the answer to that hypothetical is entirely predicated on how the playoff series ends up going.
Welp.
Chychrun to Ott
At that price, that deal is probably worth it for the CBJ…that’s it?
I had a feeling about him being a target as well..mackenzie weegar… hello
didn't realize that ottawa's pick is currently 11th overall – cbj could definitely cobble together a better package but i don't think any of the individual pieces are as good as that. but yeah, would've been worth it at that price.At that price, that deal is probably worth it for the CBJ…
