Traded Jakob Chychrun (D)

[bicboi64]

I'm down to see a Chychrun Brannstrom pairing, loads of puck movement potential there

 

[JackieDaytona]

Great look for DJ. Not surprised that he is loved by the players and org and I imagine that he has more to do with a great locker room and culture than fans like me (often critical of DJ as a coach) give credit for. I imagine this amplifies jakobs good feelings about joining this org and coming “home.”

Words cannot describe how happy I am that this is the player we got. He's so perfect it hurts, honestly... Lalimes Martian on Twitter said it best - this dude is a friggin man missile. Built like a Sherman tank and moves around like Porsche.

Someone please tell me I'm wrong. The Sens have a better D-Corps than the Leafs do right now.

They have better depth to be sure. Won't argue that. But I'm taking our top 5 dmen (Hamonic at #5) over theirs right now quite easily.

I'd 100% agree with that.
If the puck dropped tomorrow on next season with the two rosters as they are right now, I'm taking the Sens to finish ahead of the Leafs.

Man it's fun to be excited about this team.

Looks like a beast!

Would have made a perfect 80s movie villain.

He looked pretty good on Thursday. Few little slips but to be expected after time off and with a new team. Gonna be interesting to see what the long term pairings end up. Sanderson is playing so well, you have to find a way to get him on the ice more than just a 3rd pairing role, if we stick everyone on their dominant handedness.

Not to mention we would crush them in the playoffs.

If Tampa keeps losing, we'll play them in the first round.

A treat watching him live. Skates and reads plays so well.

And a heavy shot!

 

[Dionysus]

Looked good today. Has a bomb of a shot.

 

[PlayOn]

He’s exactly what we needed back there.

 

[HSF]

number 1 D

 

[Mingus Dew]

He’s better than Chabot. Don’t @ me.

 

[HSF]

i think thats universally accepted tbh

 

[starling]

When was the last time we had such a bomb from the point? Chara?

 

[Mingus Dew]

DJ Smith exists in this universe.

 

[KingAlfie11]

Yeah Chych is more complete D then Chabot, but I'm happy to have them both on our team

 

[JungleBeat]

Needs to play on the first power play unit.

 

[Laphroaig]

In hindsight it's pretty shocking that there was a sizeable contingent of fans who didn't want Chychrun because of wrong handedness.

 

[Senscore]

When was the last time we had such a bomb from the point? Chara?

I guess whenever Hoffman was up there

 

[CornerStone61]

When was the last time we had such a bomb from the point? Chara?

Gonchar probably

 

[Sens Vader]

I was at the game tonight and this guy is unreal

Watching the team live was great, not many weaknesses in this group and the defence looks amazing

ya thats pretty bad

It was more the price and the injury history tbf.
