Speculation: Jakob Chychrun being held out of the Coyotes lineup until a trade is completed

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

CBJ flipping LA’s assets and some of their own for Chychrun.

I was thinking that or maybe the Leafs circle back around now that they have Boston's pick. 2023 and 2024 1sts plus. Adding Chychrun to that blueline suddenly makes them the cup favorite.

I don’t think anyone’s forgetting that.

I think everyone's forgetting that (we can just keep him).

"Yotes are running out of buyers their GM is a disgrace!!!"

Honestly if the return isn't astronomical we're better off keeping Chychrun. We're a rebuilding team, a 24 yo borderline 1D is a good player to be part of your core

I think Armstrong knows that Columbus will probably offer a real nice package this summer for Chychrun.

Makes little sense for them to do it now and risk missing out on an elite talent by making a big acquisition, but it's been confirmed that are very very interested in him.

So there might not a big need for him to deal Chychrun by this deadline, even if Chychrun would obviously be very disappointed by that.

LA’s ‘23 1st (from CBJ) and Mateychuk would work for me as a deadline price.

If LA goes with the cbj players, who is there left for Chychrun?

Buffalo

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Trocheck?

In the sense of relative quantity for quality. The interest in Eichel was similar (no Necas or Jarvis); be in there just in case.

A 1st, a 2nd and a top two prospect is a lot for something the team doesn’t really need.

A 1st and a liquidation of some of their 18/19/20 draft picks would be justifiable. Probably not for Arizona, though.

Buffalo

Unless they're converting him to a goalie, they don't need him.

Unless they're converting him to a goalie, they don't need him.

All of Buffalo would beg to differ...

Adams is playing this smart, IMO. He's not desperate to do it, so he's slowly waiting everybody else out and his competition is dropping off as other teams land their d-men. While, AZ's hand his not forced, Chychrun's no trade kicks in and they just sat him publicly stating for a trade - its a little bit tough for them to renege and not trade. If Adams makes the deal, I think it'll end up being for the most affordable price he could have brokered.

 

[Nucker101]

Benning spoiled Armstrong and now he can’t trade without being a greedy bastard

 

[stokes84]

Peterka + Savoie + Jokiharju + 2nd for Chychrun + Bjustad

 

[Panthaz89]

We definitely need a guy like him. Our depth on D succcccccccccccc.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I love it. When Boston plays hardball - aka the deal isn't done until the call is made - it's deemed brilliant. When Arizona does it, suddenly it's "pathetic."

Not that I think the Coyotes really did anything wrong but I think an important difference here is that Boston found a better deal from another team while trying to finalize another. It's not really the same.

Peterka + Savoie + Jokiharju + 2nd for Chychrun + Bjustad

No need for the 2nd.

 

[Schemp]

They're just holding this guy hostage at this point

? Why would you say that? I can only guess that you don't understand the circumstances or Chychrun. The only problem I see is Chychrun staying a Coyote and ruin the "tank".

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Then the Sabres have bigger problems than anyone realizes, because Chychrun isn't the piece that moves the needle for them near-term.

 

[stokes84]

No need for the 2nd.

There’s must always be an obligatory 2nd. Take it.

 

[MessierII]

Running out of dance partners

not really adding a guy whos about to turn 25 that can add a lot to the D core? WTF should they be searching for more forwards to their already deep forward group+prospect pool?

 

[StreetHawk]

I recall he either asks to be traded at the end of last season or in the off season. His deal will expire before the coyotes arrive in their new arena if they get it. He’s done his part in playing through this season. I’m sure he’d be disappointed if he’s not moved by the tdl. Would expect him to be more adamant about getting moved in the summer if it doesn’t happen this year.

 

[TippinOn44s]

I wonder what it would cost Colorado to get Chychrun+Schmaltz.

 

[Maple Leaf]

They are going to be left with nothing

 

[Pantokrator]

At this rate Chychrun might never play again.

Chychrun and Bjugstad are reading HF together in the press box.

This might be the dumbest post I've ever seen. Adams is apparently playing this smart because he's not desperate to make a trade. And yet Bill Armstrong is apparently dumb because he's not desperate to make a trade. How is that supposed to work exactly...

I think you've forgotten that even if Buffalo is the last trade partner available, Bill won't lower his ask. Because just like Adams, Bill Armstrong isn't desperate to make a trade. What a dummy he is.

"It's a little bit tough for (the Yotes) to renege and not trade." Do you honestly think Bill Armstrong cares about any of that? Obviously not -- if Bill cared he would've traded Chychrun a season and a half ago when Chychrun originally made his trade request. He obvi doesn't care, and like you said, he's not desperate to make a trade. The relationship with Chychrun is solid, if we eventually decide not to accept a mediocre package for Chychrun, we (the Arizona Coyotes) will be the ones who win that deal. smh

Sold!

Do you think he's going to re-sign there after what's gone on over the last 2 years?

I doubt it. And he's probably made that pretty clear.
