Proposal: AZ & The Caps: Chych Goes 2 DC

[StephenPeat]

Yall acting like Chyrchrun is some crusty old vet. He's 24, only 18 months older than Fehervary. He's signed to a very affordable deal with term remaining. As promising as Fehervary is, Chychrun is already the player that Caps fans hope Fehervary will eventually become. And Chyrchrun has potential for more still.

Sure trade Fehervary for him. Include McMichael? No. Chychrun is the DMan we hope Fehervary becomes, he is not also the Center we know McMichael already is. The OP is not a direction the Caps should be going.

To WSH:
Jakob Chychrun

To ARI:
Lars Eller
Martin Fehervary
Connor McMichael

90% of the league blows away that offer, Sorry but the Caps don't have decent pieces to land Jakob Chychrun.

and yet 75% of voters believe it’s either fair or Arizona gets hosed.

Well, I’m a Yotes fan. So I sure hope that’s true! Feel free to improve upon the OP or provide examples of some realistic offers from other teams that blow away the OP. Got one from Detroit?

Detroit could offer Bertuzzi+Zadina+Hronek+2023 1st round pick top 3 protected and beat your offer.

I don’t think Arizona would have any interest in Bertuzzi or Hronek. They’re trying to get younger in a Chychrun deal. I don’t think that package makes any sense for Arizona.

The Kasper pick and Wallinder would’ve made sense. But that ship has sailed since Detroit made the pick. But those two pieces as a package would be a fit. Too late now.

That's fair, Just suggesting that it's still a better deal than what the Caps can give to Arizona for Chychrun.

I guess it could eventually be once all those pieces get parted out in separate deals. Seems like a lot.

 

[Random schmoe]

I don't know whether it's fair or not, don't know whether that's Chychrun's market value or not, but I wouldn't want the Caps to pay that price. I'm not sure that those 3 guys combined don't have more value to the Caps, all things considered, than Chychrun would.

Value wise for sure but sounds like Coyotes wouldn’t want the players in the offer so it's not really a better offer.

I might pull the trigger, but if CMM is involved i think we keep Eller. Hagelin works better, as he is ltir so Yotes can easily take the cheap capdump and Caps still have 3C.

That works.

Where does this idea come from that the Caps are in the market for a top-pairing blueliner, anyway? There's no indication this is the case. They really like Fehervary, who is young and already a solid partner for Carlson. He's as unlikely to be traded as any player, I'd suspect. Young, cheap, bright future.

That's before getting to McMichael, who has a long future as the team's No. 3 or No. 2 center ahead of him. There was some thought that he might be available to fix their immediate center dilemma if they went shopping for JT Miller, but the price kept rising (or never came down) and they pivoted to Strome.

On defense, they likely have a need for a depth guy, maybe a No. 5-6, possibly a No. 4, though they would need to trade someone to do it. I'd think another veteran in free agency making <$2M is more their speed.

The Caps' days of spending all their futures for immediate help are past. They're balancing between competing and gathering players for the future now. Adding three years of Chychrun just means he leaves at the same time as Ovechkin and Backstrom and Oshie and the rest of the legacy core.

Many Caps fans want to send Carlson packing.... justifiably

Lets make this a consistent realistic trade in the true Arizona tradition

To Washington: Jakob Chychrun

To Arizona: Nicholas Backstrom & John Carlson + Future Considerations

Yeah that about does it....

No way no how. They're not signing a retirement contract on a guy and asking him to take on a surgery just to ship him off. You can play abstract games with the numbers all you want but in the human world that's not happening.

If you want a consistent GMBA realistic trade it would look more like a Tom Wilson and a 2nd for nothing
