Rumor: Chychrun has Soured on Ottawa, Unlikely to Extend

[Canovin]

GM Chychrun

 

[CupofOil]

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.

The grass IS greener pretty much everywhere else than Arizona when he was there and Ottawa now so why wouldn't he want to go elsewhere?

 

[Martin Skoula]

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

That’s the cost of not putting your equipment on in a tarped off section of a community rec center. Nothing worse than trying to get in the zone before the game but someone has the venue booked for a quinceañera until 7.

 

[oceanchild]

Not even close. If Dorion didn't lucksack the Karlsson trade and get Stützle he'd easily be the worst GM of all time and it's not even close.

It sounds like you are not familiar enough with the work of one Jim Benning

 

[LemonSauceD]

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.

Ahahaha Benning gets no credit for this current team. f*** that bitch.Especially when the guys who are currently our superstars weren’t even his choices lol

Same guy is saying there's a rift in the locker room

It's fun to dump on the Senators, and at the moment it's deserved.

I still think they can flip Chychrun for (almost) what they gave up for him. The Coyotes were hamstrung at the time because they weren't willing to take on money. Theoretically new Sens ownership could retain and/or take bad a contract if it meant optimizing the return.

Obviously they aren't getting a top-12 pick back, but Chychrun at 50% retained could still return a later 1st+2nd+prospect/young player, imo. He's been better than advertised offensively and when he gets to play the left side he's been okay defensively (far less of an issue than anyone not named Sanderson). Now the bit about him being able to play the right side seems like a crock because he is a tire fire over there, at least in Ottawa.

This shouldn't be the DeBrincat situation all over again, if they play this right there should be a long list of teams looking for a top-four LHD who can carry the offence from the back end.

 

[BLNY]

With a 10 team ntc this year and next, it has the potential to really hamstring any potential return.

 

[Thechozen1]

I his defense, he wants to win and has only played for the Coyotes and Sens. Hard not to assume the grass might have a green tinge somewhere when all you've seen is brown.

Does he help a team win? Always seemed like he was not equal to the sum of his parts and injury prone.

Getting Stützle is the only thing protecting Dorion from being the worst of all time. Just look at Dorions history.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Chiarelli?

Nowhere near all-time worst tier.

Mike Milbury wins

Getting Stützle is the only thing protecting Dorion from being the worst of all time. Just look at Dorions history.

I mean, Benning was so dense he couldn’t hold a proper season ticketholders chat. I watched the NHl celebrate Doriok and his amazing work just a year and a half ago.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

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.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with the Oilers but you still found a way.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Hockeydb profile pics suggest it's true

What do you mean? Ekholm is a beast. Let’s talk about it.

 

[ottawa]

Ottawa traded for Debrincat who couldn't wait to get out of there, and now Chychrun...colour me shocked.

It's almost as if trading for big ticket players without making sure they actually want to play in a non-hockey market can backfire on you.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Hey Sens fans, besides a defensive replacement for him and a goalie (presuming some of you have soured on Korpisalo, we don't have a goalie to spare among Demko/ DeSmith), is there anything else you're looking for in return if Chychrun gets traded?

Presuming the bidding starts with a 1st, a D-replacement (one of Soucy/ Zadorov, basically anyone not named Hughes/ Hronek from our blueline) and a prospect (reluctant but may become open to trading a blue-chip), what would need to be added for him to don the Canucks blue and green?

 

[platotld]

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

How is this possible after the Summer of Doriron !!!!!

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

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

He shows flashes of how good he can be. His canon of a shot, his offensive awareness but he hasn't been great in his own end.

Regardless of how good or bad he's been, the Senators can not run Chych, Chabot and Sanderson on the left hand side. So a decision has to be made between Chych and Chabot.

If Chych wants out . . . fine. Makes the decision easier. Trade him this deadline as he still has a year left of a fantastic contract and will bring something solid back. Probably not what they gave up to get him . . but a first and a plus are perfectly reasonable.

Kevin Hayes strikes again.

A comparable right shot right side defenseman. Preferably a more defensive minded player.

Or a package including a first, prospects and later picks. Jumble it up however it works based on the level of the first or prospect.

Why is this tweeter saying "hometown" novelty? He's from Florida, and as far as I know has no connection to Ottawa (his dad is from the MTL suburbs), and he played a bit of minor hockey living in Toronto.

 

[Hammettf2b]

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

They will be saying things like, "He looks like he doesn't care out there" and "He gave up on the team"

 

[moosemeister]

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

Who is the Ottawa version of you?

Someone needs to create a trade proposal for Chychrun with 31 other teams.

 

[Martin Skoula]

I imagine GMs are going to lowball Ottawa given how much of an injury risk he is. He goes on LTIR for 20 games again through the deadline and you better pray you can move him for the price you want before he walks.
