Any chance he plays this year? Maybe he's not too fond of how Sarnia developed him last year
He would need to have a really impressive training camp. With 8 dmen signed to 1-way contracts it's pretty clear Arizona isn't expecting him on the roster.
Honestly, even though I'm not a big Chychrun fan, I think he's able to crack an NHL lineup like Arizona's. Definitely more ready for the NHL than Sergachev and Juolevi IMO.

... and in this post?It's funny though, they really like Sarnia D. Murphy, Chycrun and DeAngelo with serious ties.
No reason. Send him back to Sarnia, let him be captain there and let him do his thing at the WJC this winter.Physically, he's very mature already, and a pretty good skater for his size to boot. Just not sure he's ready for NHL speed. And while I think he'd at least deserve a 9-games try (depending on his camp), they have 8 D on 1-way contracts...

Because if he isn't skating 22 minutes/game by his 19th birthday, he's a bust, because internet, because short attention spans, because chem trails. Rare is the 18 year defenseman who is ready to play NHL hockey, especially ahead of 25 year olds who are already under contract. He should absolutely, 100% go back to the OHL this year, continue to develop his game, continue to play 1st pairing, all-situation minutes, go play at World Juniors. There's absolutely no reason to rush him to Glendale.Why on earth would they try to rush him onto the roster this year, when they clearly have the depth to give him time to develop? He needs to go back to junior and get his confidence up. It sounds like there's some disappointment from slipping and he wants to show people they made a mistake to let him slide. I'm hopeful a season without the draft focus will let him get some confidence and swagger before he gets a serious look.
Good to see Phoenix lock up Chichryn. He'll be good.
I think he will be the best defenseman taken in the draft.
Me too, and I hope he is. Scouts are trying to look to smart.
They were smart just like with Fowler too.
So they're not smart cause of Fowler and Chychrun ? That's it ?
