Chychrun’s Megathread V (poll added)

[Schemp]

True, but it’s just funny he specifies a D. What if Armstrong likes what he’s seen from Leevi Merilainen and that’s the prospect he wants?

Or Sanderson...

Or Sanderson...

Sanderson is 100% not happening.

 

[Schemp]

Sanderson is 100% not happening.

...and neither is Ottawa!

Plenty of options without Sanderson. Ottawa has a stupid amount of young talent.

It sucks that Ottawa is the the only team with any buzz around Chychrun.
Would be great if another team was still interested at this price.

6 weeks ago it was LA and Jeff Chychrun giving an interview on how much he loved playing in LA during his career. 6 months ago it was all about Florida. The agent is going from one market to another to try to get groundswell support to get a trade. Hasn’t worked thus far. Not much has changed from AZ’s perspective. We have time. We will use it.

 

[lanky]

Yep, that's helpful perspective.
It's reasonable to assume that he'll be wearing kachina in October.
If he looks good on the ice and a contender wants to front-run the rental market then maybe a trade will happen around Dec/Jan.

Fairly confident Bill played the same game early in summer. Definitely believe he used Marek to try to drive price up. It's starting to look like Chych is not nearly as well regarded around the League as many thought.

Chychrun for Zaitsev, Brannstrom, Boucher, a ‘23 1st, and a ‘24 1st would do it for me. I don’t particularly like Brannstrom or Boucher but they’re decent dice rolls. Getting two 1sts would be the key, here.

• Blue Jackets received: Adam Boqvist, 2021 first-round pick (12th overall), 2021 second-round pick (44th overall), future first-round pick (which became the 2022 sixth-overall pick when the Blackhawks pick wasn’t in the top-two.)

Seems like Zaitsev, Thomson, ‘23 1st (top 2 protected), ‘23 2nd and ‘24 1st (top 2 protected)?

I think it comes down to how much we want to squeeze Ottawa for taking Zaitsev’s contract but the only expected return should be similar to what Seth Jones received. 2x1sts is the key. One has to be in 2023 though. Protection needs to include an extra pick if the 2023 pick is deferred.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Thats the thing. What Sens fans aren't getting is that its their GM who is pursuing Chychrun. BA is not pursuing trading Chcyhrun to the Sens. Sens fans are trying to maneuver any trade proposals into what would be the best steal for them, but unless BA majorly f***s up there shouldn't be any way Chychrun gets traded in a steal for the other team. If Dorion wants him to the point where he's outright pursuing him, put up the assets. Especially if we're taking on their trash in Zaitsev for 2 seasons.

Personally, I don’t give a rip about what sens fans think.

Ok, but what is the Coyote ask for taking Zaitsev's contract?

Didn’t CBJ send a high pick back? Skipping that seems like the Zaitsev price.

Right with you here, except I don’t want to see protection. However, if it comes to that an extra pick is semi palatable.

Ottawa is heading north, Chicago was heading south and the Blue Jackets knew that. We won't be getting a high end draft pick like Columbus. I think Ottawa is about to take a big step this year.

I agree with you but that division is brutal. Could go either way honestly. Them getting Chychrun will help tons.

The 32nd OA and a sixth rounder. You may be right.

Yup, it sure is. That is maybe what BA is counting on.

 

[Coyotes19c]

That’s why I want this trade to happen with Ottawa. I think we get a decent pick in 23. Just my opinion though.

Thomson for taking Zaitsev

Two 1sts and a 2nd for Chych.

How's this one?

To OTT:
Chychrun

To ARI:
Zaitsev
Boucher
Kleven
'23 1st
'24 1st (c.)

(c.) = if OTT fails to qualify for BOTH the 2023 AND the 2024 playoffs the pick converts to a 2nd.

Where would Boucher sit in our winger depth? How about Kleven in our defense depth?

1. Guenther
2. Doan
3. Boucher
4. Maccelli
5. Lutz
(Purposely removing Jenik since he is close to making the jump and could be considered a center)

1. Soderstrom
2. Kleven
3. Maverick
4. Duda
(Who else am I missing, is our depth this bad?!)
