Stumbled across that a while ago as well, he seems like a solid dude with great parents.

Teams are getting solid bottom sixers for 3rd rounders in 2025 and 2026. I don’t think we’ll need to give up established prospects.

I think we're better off giving up guys who are no longer waiver exempt this fall than draft picks.
Assen na yo!

There's a legitimate family connection to Ottawa for Chychrun. That will be huge if he gels with the core when it's time to re-sign.

His Grandpa and sister will be at the game on Saturday night.
The good vibes in the Sens room are going to be off the charts good. ADB notwithstanding, every core guy in that room is bonkers happy to be playing in Ottawa right now.
I bet this all indirectly helps influence Debrincat on his decision to sign by convincing him that he can fit into a complete roster - if he takes a reasonable salary.
Adding a bona-fide star - like the #1 trade bait on TSNs board this year and therefore the most desirable player on the market - that hits the lockerroom like a wave of adrenaline. These guys are gonna be flying tomorrow night.
This is a statement to the players that this is a team that is going to be given a chance to win, and from here on out its about cutting the underperformers. Not convincing people to play here.

Was doing some research on Chychrun as I'm sure everyone on this board was before bed and he's a super interesting player. I knew he fell in his draft year but I didn't realize to what extent. He was projected to go top 3 heading into the season and was ranked #2 for NA skaters by central scouting only behind Matthews. Apparently there were questions about his hockey IQ in his draft year and his production didn't increase from the season before.
Then I stumbled across this: "There was an interesting post on Hfboards I wish I could find from a scout who had watched Chychrun a bunch this year and said that, the way Sarnia used him was not conducive to him succeeding. According to this guy he was basically leaned on to be a shutdown dman and an offensive quarterback while being double shifted every game, which lead to him making mistakes at the end of games mostly dude to fatigue. He went on to say that he thinks that Chychrun is actually the most NHL ready dman in the draft because he's been used so heavily and been relied upon so much more than Juolevi who is on a stacked team."
Sounds like a super extreme role that no 17 year old would have succeeded in. I remember one of my coaches from back in the day once told me: "When you're tired, the first thing that goes is the brain... something something short shifts". Very good chance overusage tanked his draft stock and looking back, he'd go before 12/15 of the guys taken before him so the original ranking doesn't look too far off.
The potential with this guy is sky high and the homer in me feels that his top 10 in Norris voting season from a couple of years ago wasn't even his peak form. He's 6'2 220 and is already a great defender. Lots of D round out that part of their game in their late twenties and with his physical build, he could be a total menace to play against in a couple of years. The offensive instincts are already there, always been an elite skater, absolute cannon of a shot and not afraid to throw around that big body. His toolkit is phenomenal and at 24, he might just be getting started (so many D peak in their late twenties).
Leading up to the trade I saw people (mostly from Leaf land) saying he's more of a #3 or #4 which is a complete joke. He's a legit #1 and instantly becomes our best D. Absolutely stoked about this he's exactly what we need, wonder how many games it will take for him to sniff PP1.

I have likely been the most outspoken about having defenders playing their offside...But hopefully we can have our wingers come back harder on the backcheck to help in this

I really don't think it's that big of a deal for some players. I have seen Sanderson escape compromising positions all season. If a player can do it effectively it can be a big advantage.
If no one can do it well they can run with 3 elite LD. Tampa did it.

Yep and Chyc has some size to absorb a hit as well as the mobilty to hopefully avoid the worse ones...It not ideal but its likely workable and the advantages likely outweigh the negatives
I think our best line combinations will be:
Chabot - Zub
Sandy - Chychrun
Branny - Hamonic
I think Chychrun is in the mold of the exact player we want sanderson to become and there will be no better player for him to learn his game from. Also could see some crazy chemistry between these two.

Killed me, lol.
Burst out laughing for 2 minutes at this, lol.
Means we will lose him or Batherson, imo. Will likely be smart move as we build towards a harder team to play against.

If the result of this is Sanderson on the 3rd pair... I am not going to like it.
Can you please list all the possibilities.
