The main issue with Chychrun is his defensive IQ.

I agree. But if he were a right side D with a bit more bite to his game we wouldn't be trading him tbh.

I’m in the opposite boat. Was pretty bummed at the time, but I’m really coming around to liking the pick. Would love to see him get traded to a better team within the WHL and see how he adjusts.

It appears as if one of the major reasons we're trading him is that it's pretty obvious he doesn't want to be here.

Why doesn't he want to be here is the next question, maybe because with Chabot and Sanderson ahead of him on the left he isn't getting the overtime/opportunity he wants or expected? Or maybe he saw the writing on the wall and realized the org wasn't as big on him after Dorion and DJ got canned?

There are plenty of rational reasons why he wouldn't want to be a part of this organization.
This pick seems almost like a knee-jerk reaction to what happened with Jakob.
Anyway, we need RD in the organization, he ticks off a lot of boxes so I guess we'll see how he does.

Like I’ve said before, need him or not he’s a RD with some draft pedigree. A good asset to have.

If chychrun was right handed they wouldn't be replacing him. He also has no physical edge. Yak will muck it up.
He scored 30 goals as a dman...more than just toughness

It’s not really up to us.
We can pretend that he didn’t meet our needs adequately but ultimately he’ll be another on the list of stars that we acquired at considerable cost for a season or two.
Obviously. They didn't just pick Yakemchuk 7th OVR because he roughs it up.
My point is that it's a factor they put a ton of emphasis on - way more than any other team in this league.

Its not up to the sens which way he shoots? He doesnt fit because the two other d men that are top 4 cant play RD and neither can he thats why they are trading him. If he could play right and had an edge they would not be moving him. Chabot is un tradeable. Sanderson is too good so its him. Dorion is the idiot who traded for a 3rd top 4 LD man.

Way too much emphasis is placed on birthdates, especially as a mark against older guys. It's an easy data point for people to point to without understanding anything about a player.
Guys develop at different times and at different rates. A guy like Yakemchuk still has a lot of runway ahead of him.

I believe when Chychrun was with Phoenix he was on the #1 PP, but while here he is on the 2nd PP. Given he is in his prime & a yr away from another contract. he likely wants to improve his numbers & make a little more money with the next contract. He had a decent yr pt wise even playing on the 2nd PP, but I think he is a competitive guy who thinks he should be playing top pairing & #1 PP. He isn't traded yet so I imagine they will take their time & get what they need in return.

I imagine they will sign Yakemchuk to an ELC asap & I assume they might give Yakemchuk RD the usual 9 games to start the season, but it will be interesting to see him at the Development Camp & Rookie Tournament this summer. BTW has anyone heard when the Development Camp is starting & times?
Boyd said he wasn't surprised how it played out leading up to their pick & it played out similar to what they thought it would.

It wouldn’t be so glaring if he played even the least amount of physical defence. But that guy does not like contact

I highly doubt they are playing him this year he isnt ready. He is going to have a longer development curve.I imagine they will sign Yakemchuk to an ELC asap & I assume they might give Yakemchuk RD the usual 9 games to start the season, but it will be interesting to see him at the Development Camp & Rookie Tournament this summer.
