Rumor: Chychrun has Soured on Ottawa, Unlikely to Extend

[SquidNasty]

Ottawa is such a meh city to live in. Especially if you're a young millionaire and from Florida. I didn't expect this relationship to last long but this is shorter than expected. Hopefully the sens can get some decent assets back. But i don't blame him at all. Spent two years working in Ottawa on a contract and I could never bring myself to go back there to live long term.

“The city that fun forgot” is very accurate unfortunately. Zero partying culture and a large percentage of the population are civil servants that make being a government worker their entire personality.

Great place to raise a family and if you’re into outdoor recreation it’s solid, but as a young millionaire there isn’t a worse NHL city and that includes Winnipeg.

So if someone was going to give you 6ish million a year to live their you would turn it down?

Yes because I could be making 6ish million with less taxes and live in Florida.

He was brutal defensively this year.

Has a nice shot and some dazzle when it comes to stickhandling with the puck but his hockey IQ is non-existent.

Sounds like Brady may add to the mayhem for the sens this off season

It's not just this year.

For all we know, they asked, but that doesn't even matter.

It was the Senators responsibility to know about the NTC and abide by the clauses within the contract. If they didn't, that fault was on their side, 100%. It wasn't Vegas' responsibility to go and check a fan site to see if their information aligned with the information they were getting from the team they are trading with.

How ridiculous does this sound?

GM - "Hey Assistant GM, we've got this trade almost done with the "insert team name", can you go check CapFriendly to make sure that this organization with people employed to be experts on the contracts they have with their players, and who is responsible for disclosing the deals of their contracts, isn't making a mistake here?"

The thought that a team should HAVE to check CapFriendly to double check the information they are getting from another team is purely ludicrous.

If you would have read my original post, I said they had a year and a half to check before Vegas tried to trade him, to check his status, which takes 2 minutes.

Never mentioned Ottawa trading him to Vegas.

As a result of these shenanigans, NHL is changing their policy, and will now have a database, was a joke NHL never knew who had NTC’s.

Here is my post
And Vegas had one and half years to look at capfriendly, to see if he had one, yet still tried to trade him.

Because he said it’s frustrating that they missed the playoffs?

A few months ago Ryan Whitney said an anonymous player texted him that Brady is next to go but that’s all I’ve seen.

welcome to Florida, Brady!

Vegas obviously knew he had a NTC, but was falsely told the player failed to submit it.

Arizona effect.

Just because you were a good player in the desert doesn't mean that you're a good player.

See:
OEL, Dvorak, and now chychrun

 

[Golden_Jet]

welcome to Florida, Brady!

Then Whitney followed it up with they are trade rumour kings, and make things up.

Vegas obviously knew he had a NTC, but was falsely told the player failed to submit it.

That’s the point, if Vegas knew, why did they try and trade him.
Agree they must of known after a year and a half, on something that takes 2 minutes to check.

Based on what

 

[HolyGhost]

Based on what

there are different ways to look at what he said. "I feel like I have accomplished nothing"

 

[SpezDispenser]

welcome to Florida, Brady!

The cost for a division rival to acquire him would be off the charts.

 

[Golden_Jet]

welcome to Florida, Brady!

Even if he was on the market, not seeing the assets Ottawa would want from Florida.

 

[MCR74]

Chychrun leaving and EK65 coming home?

Doubtful. As you see, the poster above you said Ottawa is looking for D who can play actual defence.

 

[Ouroboros]

The cost for a division rival to acquire him would be off the charts.

For sure. They'd have to pay a massive price. Just like Detroit did for DeBrincat.

 

[OmniSens]

Sounds like he's as good as gone.

One of those is not like the other.

To be fair, the whole team was brutal defensively...

 

[Gaud]

Pierre Dorion will go down as one of the worst GMs in history

agreed, but how much of that is the late Melnyk's fault? I genuinely thought Dorion was shackled the whole time.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He's gone and if Ottawa doesn't make the playoffs next season I wouldn't be surprised if Brady wants out based on his comments at the end of this year.

 

[NyQuil]

He and Chabot were not stabilizing influences back there considering their salaries, experience and ice time.

Chabot wasn't horrible, but not great. Injuries playing factor, he miss nearly half the season. Getting back into game shape every time is tough. AND I'm the last to ever make excuses for Chabot, personally I think he sucks and overpaid (So I will agree there lol)

I think if Chychrun plays on his side of the ice and has a decent partner, he's definitely better than Chabot.

do you have his skill to be able to pick your work place?

 

[nbwingsfan]

If they do have to trade him, what the expected return? Will this be a Debrincat situation where they get no where close what they gave up?
