That also feels like a red flag.
If I was a GM in on the kid, I want a full health report before making an offer. He's a good player and all, but he doesn't help a team if he's made of glass.
Speculation: Jakob Chychrun being held out of the Coyotes lineup until a trade is completed

Players Play
Bettman:
We don't tank.
NHL Teams:
Sit out healthy. front-line players.

NHL Teams:

... and then rise in the standings without said player! So what's your point or just trolling?

The point is obvious.
There are teams that have decided to play low-quality lineups - while charging fans full price.
These teams are tanking.

AZ is 2W 1L since benching Chychrun. Not really helping their tank. Plus AZ played a good chunk of the season without Chychrun because of injury. Chychrun really only plays about 60 games a season now that you bring it up. If AZ really wanted to tank they'd scratch their goalie or play the 4th line 20 a night.

At this point a trade has to happen.
This is a … show
Gm’s/management are trying to tank.
Players are not
My apologies to Coyotes' fans. It must really suck knowing any good players you have are available to the highest bidder at the drop of a hat. Godspeed.
Winning or just being in the game isn't saying much for the other team. Increasing in the standings usually means you aren't tanking.
You mean like Keller, Crouse? Anyways Chychrun is still a Coyote and the belief that GMBA will not trade him until a deal is made to improve the Coyotes long term in a direction that he wants the team to go.

This is becoming real bad, I mean it's a f***ing joke. Just trade the guy or play him, he is under contract for a couple more seasons!!!
This has been going on for a long time , I think the Coyotes should squeeze as much they can out of the team they are dealing with but at some point this is just not a good feel for the team and they have a lot of young players that their development is effected . Make deal, or pull him off the market and tell Chychrun you are on the team until your contract expires . This is has just got to the point of absurd........
I am pretty sure the Coyotes didn't bench Chychrun with the intentions to win.
This is just funny coincidence but looks really bad.
Well true people do demand transparency then get upset when it happens but this is about sportsmanship and integrity, just f***king trade him already it has become a circus and a joke.
He'll be traded when a team offers assets that match the asking price.
So you think Blake and Co would have offered a young Dman whom they’ve gone so far as to call him the most offensively gifted D prospect this team has probably ever drafted? Heck, they even said his offense is better than a young Doughty.
Truth is he was probably never offered but it was leaked to try and drive up the price. Not one credible source said this, the Kings are notorious for being tight lipped, just look at the Fiala trade
What if no team will offer assets that match the asking price?
He is on the market for very long time now…
Yes. Then I expect CBJ can be more aggressive on this trade in the off-season. I hope it doesn't come to that.
I guess he might sit the rest of the season then eh?

But who runs the teams? The league? Or the coach and the general manager?
You can’t have the league mandating things like this, agency to decide who is on the ice is at the discretion of the team and should always stay that way.
I doubt he sits the rest of the season. If he’s not traded by the deadline I would expect him back in the lineup.
Well if he isn't traded then the whole sitting him will look even more ridiculous won't it?

Exactly. If the league wanted to put a halt to these kinds of things, it could at any time. Just like if it really wanted to stop the "problem of tanking" it could do that at any point in time. [No, I'm not talking about changing the draft odds for a 5th, 6th, 7th time to "disincentivize" being bad, which has really given more teams incentive because less terrible teams now have a better shot at 1OA from all the "fixes" to the "problem of tanking."]
The fact is, every team has the ability to operate in the manner it wishes, without interference from any of the other teams or the NHLPA or the agents or the fans or anyone else. If an owner wants to "burn it all to the ground" he can, and no one else can do anything about it. If an owner wants to perpetually run his team on a less-than-shoestring budget, he can and no one else can do anything about it. If an owner wants to perpetually spend to the cap and trade away picks and prospects trying to always "win now," he can and no one else can do anything about it - even if it means he eventually runs out of picks, prospects and money.

I don’t understand why any non-AZ fans give a flying f if they sit him or not.
