Confirmed with Link: [AZ/OTT] Jakob Chychrun in exchange for a conditional first in ’23, a conditional second in ’24, & a 2nd in ‘26

I sure as hell hope it's not some top 10 protected bullshit!

Top 5

 

[RABBIT]

Basically Chychrun for a high first this year and 2 future 2nds if all goes well.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

And we thought Tocchet’s last year was a waste. This year we have a failed tank in the best draft of the last 8 years, and a failed trade deadline. Every other selling team outclassing BA every step.

Shit waste franchise

 

[Sinurgy]

So BA waited this long just to get ONE A asset and 2 B assets?!

 

[Alberta Yote]

Armstrong is kind of sucking at his job so far. Of course there is nothing I can do about that other than whine.

An Ottawa 1st and two 2nds is better than two Boston 1sts and one 2nd.

An Ottawa 1st and two 2nds is better than two Boston 1sts and one 2nd.

Yep. 3 assets. 1 excellent that could he a top 10 pick.

 

[Alberta Yote]

And forget about every condition other than the top 5 protection. With everything happening over the past week there is no ECF for the Sens.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

So we just got another team to root for.

edit: and against. At the same time.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

And no f***ing retention. The best trade asset this franchise has had in the last 10 years and we don’t maximize value.

I’m so f***ing pissed off right now

Top 5

Scouts run the show in AZ. Zero doubt about it. They have someone they are obsessing over around the 10 mark and want him.

I expect they are scouting the hell out of this draft class. This might be an all in at the draft which would fit GMBA timescale for the franchise.

40% of the rebuild now, then:
1= include Cooley+Guenther full time + perhaps one of 2023's if lucky in a non tanking yet poor season next year
2= then start looking at the playoffs in 2024/25 when the arena situation is sorted out/being built with am=n opening date set in stone.
3= then Matthews. joking.

 

[Grimes]

Feels like I got punched in the nads. Then kicked in the nads on the ground.

If you told Bill Arsmtrong he could have Dvorsky, Michkov, or Yager etc... with two more seconds on top for Chychrun he'd take it. That's what this is. On the timeline AZ is on, raw picks are king.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

f***ing... God f***ing dammit all.

 

[Alberta Yote]

An Ottawa 1st and two 2nds is better than two Boston 1sts and one 2nd.

I might come across as anti '26 but Ottawa will be better than Boston by then. The other two picks you are correct so overall better than it might have been.

 

[Sinurgy]

Yep. 3 assets. 1 excellent that could he a top 10 pick.

They got 1 MAYBE excellent asset which is pretty underwhelming considering they Coyotes gave up an excellent asset that is proven.

That's a big IF OTT doesn't find a way to sneak into the playoffs.

If this is a top 8-12 pick we got a much better deal than DeBrincat. If this gets to pick 16 I'm going to be very displeased.

Really we can't begin to evaluate this until the draft but right now I'm not happy.

 

[Dead Coyote]

OTT currently 11th in a 4 way tie from 12-9. If that pick ends up being 9th (or 8th if one of STL/MTL/PHI/VAN can go on a tear) than that trade is absolutely worth it. 100%. Gives BA leverage to potentially move back into top 5 and have a second pick, could see Michkov falling to that, could be that Benson or Dvorsky or Smith are all there at that pick...that's a great trade if it works out like that.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Lol and the kings trade for Erik Portillo for a f***ing 3rd. We’re a failed franchise.

 

[Coyotes19c]

all that waiting and we get this? You wonder what might have happened if we didn’t wait until the last damn second.

 

[Tad Mikowski]

If there wasn't all this chatter about what the asking price was, this would be considered a fair trade imo. Chych is great but his injury concerns are real. I take a shot at the sens pick being a top pick this year in one of the deeper drafts in a while. Win to me

 

[Jormungandr]

I bet Armstrong is kicking himself for not taking that rumored kings offer that was said to be “substantial”. Clear as day he overplayed his hand, kept asking for more, and got caught with his pants down.

 

[Summer Rose]

Somehow, I can handle this.

 

[rt]

I shouldn’t be so surprised that people aren’t fathoming the difference between an Ottawa first this year and a 1st from Carolina or Boston or Edmonton.

Ottawa is a good bet to miss the playoffs.
