Rumor: Chychrun has Soured on Ottawa, Unlikely to Extend

[GreeningOil]

why dpes this keep happening

Arizona sucked, Ottawa sucks (and has 2 other LD signed at 8mil per)

It would seem the role and team trends would have a lot to do with it.

 

[SquidNasty]

Exactly. All of these players trying to jump ship as if their shitty play isn't the reason for the gulf in disparity between on paper talent and on ice results.

He hasn't been part of the problem, dude looks as advertised and is one of the few players who emit that ultra competitive vibe. I don't blame him for wanting out, this core is full of babies and will go nowhere.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Makes sense. Too many #1D for one team.

 

[ghostingtaro]

if vancouver chooses not to resign myers, chychrun might be a fit

 

[Golden_Jet]

Makes sense. Too many left D for one team.

Fixed

Peter Chiarelli enters the chat

Chiarelli?

Nowhere near all-time worst tier.

 

[Hookslide]

Chychrun has exclusively played for the two most dysfunctional franchises in professional sports. I have a feeling the grass probably is a lot greener somewhere, anywhere, else.

Yes, it is, Boston.

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaja

Americans on small market Canadian teams. Match made in hell.

I get what you’re saying, but the Jets have had pretty good luck, even acknowledging the Trouba situation.

Wheeler, Buff, Helle, Kyle Conner have all happily signed long term extensions.

"Omit" is an unfortunate choice of words here (presumably you mean "emit").

Both Benning and Dorion are Millburry-tier.

Unmitigated catastrophes who set their franchises back years.

Well on the good news front for Ottawa, it didn’t really take long for competent management in Vancouver to turn things around. The only real lasting damage was the OEL deal right near the end of Benning’s reign of terror. Had they fired him before that all the pieces would have been in place to build a good team with lots of cap space.

The crazy part is Benning’s core is now winning with decent support.

If he doesn’t make that OEL trade, you could argue he built a near perfect team to hand off to competent management.

Whoops… fixed

Dorion wasn’t great but I still feel like previous ownership takes a lot of culpability. They didn’t want to pay anyone and forced a tear down which has lead to a longer rebuild than expected.

Dorion did jump the gun declaring the rebuild over with no evidence a couple years ago and trying to speed up the timeline.

Our problem is that Dorion assembled the entirety of our current roster.

It is rotten to the core.

When Benning was fired, was he the one who had brought on almost all the players?

Our previous owner, Conman Prime, also made a terrible situation even worse.

We have a long way to go to become respectable again.

OEL seems to be doing fine in Florida.

Too the surprise of no one.

Even though he won a cup with a team that someone else built, he still won a cup.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

DeBrincat now this. Wonder what’s going on.

Sabres fan, but we're basically in the same boat. Bad management, lack of competitiveness, & small, undesirable markets are the three prongs of our mission statement. Ottawa at least has some hope with new ownership.

Ottawa, we will always have the mid 2000s. I haven't enjoyed hockey since 2006, but the disease metastasized to my brain and now it's all a loss. If there are any younger fans, get out while you still can. Bettman and the NHL will steal your life force away, selling it to foolish new owners in the form of expansion fees.

Arizona offers the two 2nds we acquired from Ottawa back in exchange for Chychrun. But we’re keeping the 1st.

 

[Kshahdoo]

As far as I understand, Ottawa fans won't be too upset if he leaves.

 

[ManofSteel55]

This dude is going to spend his whole career thinking the grass is greener somewhere else and by the time he's smart enough to realize it's not it'll be too late. Sad.

In all fairness, it's been the Coyotes and Senators that he has had issues with. The grass is greener in most places compared to those two, from a team success perspective.

True. Now he can request a trade and end up with the Sabres.

 

[TheNumber4]

Craig Button still think he was better acquisition than Ekholm? LOL. Effin Moron.

Anyways, Chych wanted out of Arizona cause he was tired of tanking. So this tracks.

He chose the brown grass of .385 over the light green of .536. He chose poorly.
