Confirmed with Link: Chychrun to WSH for Nick Jensen and 2026 3rd

ill take, what is asset management for $500, alex

 

[DylanSensFan]

He went for peanuts because he has one year left on his contract and will likely never re-sign with Washington or anyone else. He wants to see free agency next year, so he can test his value then and get a large payout. I am honestly very disappointed in his attitude. His attitude reminds me of Johnny Gaudreau. I hope someone signs him long term for a lot and he shows them what a princess he is.

Funny that 1.5 years ago Chych's main weakness was considered to be his health, so supposedly that yielded a discount. Now that he's finally played a full season, his value plummeted and he went for peanuts.

 

[Sensators]

I think it's a really bad trade. Team won't compete in the next 2 years and Jensen will be 35 after that. On top of which Jensen is just not very good. Honestly seems like he just wanted to get chyc away from the team. I believe he should have done a lot better even if chyc value is not that high.

RHD - check
Defensive D - check
Vet- check
Sweet spot on term with ok value - check
Trading for an actual need for a change - check

Lots of things to like here

More would have been nice but we needed a shakeup and some balance on D. Market is what it is, who knows if we would get more down the line.

Sometimes you don't get what you want. You get what you need.

Aside, Chychrun was starting to come across as a bit of a an oddball fringe type of personality, not that I would base trades on that unless it affected the locker room

The sad thing is having to trade someone who actually loves Ottawa and would want to be here if he filled a need and was properly slotted. Not too many players passionate about being in Ottawa the city.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Jensen is not the solution we needed at RD. Too old.

The legacy of Dorion lives on and is still alive.

Think short term, rather than long term and this is okay. Jensen only has two years on his contract.

His year end interview turned me off of him.

 

[ATdaisuki]

He skates well? Why am I remembering him being slower than average?

He used to skate well but I admit I didn't watch him much last year where he apparently experienced a dip in play. I've been following him on and off since his Detroit days and liked his skating. Wanted the Sens to get him when he was available back when Washington got him.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

How many locker room spats were a direct result of korpisalo being unable to stop a f***ing puck.

 

[Mookie McGee]

All we need is Ullmark to leave after this season, and Staios will have been able to do the impossible and make me somehow miss Dorion within less than a year and a half...

Sometimes you don't get what you want. You get what you need.

And sometimes you get the leftovers, which you don't want but need to complete the roster.

This team has not improved.

Defenseman often lose a step at that age, and many 2 steps and it's a steep decline until retirement in a couple years.

It's very rare that defenseman play over 35 years old.

How many D left in the league born before 1988 for example? Gotta be less than 1 per team...if not less. They aren't common because they all stopped playing because they've lost too much speed.

I will never miss Dorion; however, Staios has a LOT of work to do to fix this team.

Maybe he lost a step maybe his play dipped on a team experiencing some transition from consistent playoff team to bubble team. I think he still has a good year or two in him. He was very good up to last season. Personally I still like him and don't mind this trade.

 

[JungleBeat]

Yikes.

 

[R2010]

Chychrun helped nuke the return with his year-end interview IMO.

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

I think some guys are over reacting on this trade. It was obvious that we will get fleeced on this trade anyways ( Mostly because it was recent acquisition that we paid handsomely ty Dorion ). Chych was being shopped since trade deadline with no so much traction. I think if we get Jensen + 2nd pick we all fine with that . Jensen is obviously just a stop gap here , not long term solution for sure and not the best option as top 4 for sure. But he is cheap and has experience so management was okay for with him filling the hole in the top 4 .
We are slightly better in our zone with this trade but we lost a lot of offense from backend at the same time so it's more a linear move then anything else.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

LMao at the this is all Dorion.

We wanted Chychrun.

Now we don't

I think his dogshit play during the season was a much bigger factor.

Unbelievable how bad he was most nights. Like Debrincat, he's a guy whose hype greatly outpaces his ability.

We have zero offense from the backend lol

Remember when we had 40-50 pts guys in redden and Chara and then secondary guys in the 30-40 point range like Meszaros or Corvo or preissing. And that was in a noticeably lower scoring league.

Our points by our D last year:

38
30
25
14
14
6
1

Ullmark improves the team unless he had a horrible year. But that was priority one. And we improved the position

Now we don't

We’re fans. Dorion has all the resources on earth to scout players before he acquires them lol

 

[BK201]

Not great. Not every move has to be great but he could have been moved later even at TDL and had salary for next year.

Lemme guess. DJ made us take Gregor too?

 

[JimmyApples]

But then we have to put up with another year of Chychrun, rather than trading him for a better and experienced player, with better positional and play style value for us.

No….
