Value of: Jakob Chychrun to FLA

[RiverbottomChuck]

Just wait for his contract to end, no self respecting player would want to play their whole career in a perpetual rebuild.

I fully understand the initial reaction from Coyotes fans, but Lundell+ seems worth considering from their perspective.

Everything else on the Panthers feels like a non-starter (I know Knight is as blue chip as they come, but I wouldn't accept him as the centerpiece if I'm the Yotes).

 

[McJedi]

What would the Panthers have to offer to pry him out of Arizona while making the cap work?

Start with the excellent Lundell and keep adding. It will hurt when you’re done adding to Lundell. Like passing a kidney stone.

 

[TBF1972]

Ya it starts with Lundell + 1st/prospect.



I get your point but Ekblad is a level or two better than Chych

considering contract (4x4.6 vs. 4x7,5) cap strapped teams might prefer chych.

 

[Perennial]

From Arizona's perspective, I'd rather have Knight than Lundell...

A 20 year old goalie who projects to be among the top 10 goaltenders in the league for the next 15 years or so would be a fairly appealing asset to add to the rebuild effort

I think Knight offers more value and a higher ceiling than Lundell

 

[Laus723]

Church run isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, Arizona wants to build around him and their upcoming picks, prove to him that it’s worth it to him to stay there (he enjoys living there), and have him be part of the process.

maybe if it looks like he won’t re-sign will he be moved, but he’ll cost a ton. And rightfully so.

To Florida: Chychrun, Kessel (50% retained)

To Arizona: Knight, Hornqvist, Nutivaara


Florida get a top pairing LD on a very team-friendly contract for 4 more years, and a top 6 RW on an expiring contract at half his cap hit. They also clear Hornqvist's contract off their books for next season

Arizona add one of the best young goalies in the league

lol

Of course he does; that's why he's the "ha ha it would take this guy" suggestion. The chances of Panthers fans going for that do not strike me as all that high either.

 

[Qwijibo]

we aren't trading knight lol

And Arizona aren’t trading Chychrun

 

[Gentle Man]

NOW let's discuss what Arizona would take

 

[VijayPatel11]

And Arizona aren’t trading Chychrun

That's fine

 

[YP44]

No chance he is available, but if he ever is I would hope LA's entrance music would hit.

 

[Dr Beinfest]

lol

Your response is strange. Knight is arguably the best goalie prospect in the league right now. From a Florida perspective, not interested. The idea of Lundell+ keeps being brought up and that’s just a total head scratcher. Why would Florida give him up?
Totally get that Arizona has no incentive to move their man, but Knight is actually the realistic target here. Not Lundell. But yes, not good trading partners either way.

The "lol" was just because that one was pretty absurd for both sides. Neither team has any desire to give up their guy.

GMBA has stated that Chychrun is untouchable, so what would it take to get Ekblad to AZ?

None of that helps us. Why?

 

[Perennial]

Sure, let's pretend that Knight isn't arguably the best young goalie in the NHL... that obviously wouldn't help a rebuilding team like Arizona

Besides Chychrun+?

 

[majormajor]

They seem like super-similar players from my vantage point.

Its much easier to get a good goalie than a top pair 23 year old defenceman.

Knight is potentially going to be a great goalie, not just a good one...

Given where Arizona is in their rebuild, I'd take Knight over Chychrun without hesitation when the years left of team control are factored in

 

[Shocker]

Chychrun is -16 with 0 points in 10 games this season...

He'll be a UFA in 4 years, and Arizona isn't likely to be a playoff contender before then

I'd be looking to move him if I were the Coyotes... especially if a player like Knight was the returning piece

Can't really fault Chychrun there, that Arizona team is the shittiest team i've seen in ages.

Fair enough, I'd rather have Chychrun right now. The value isn't super far off.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I didn’t realize the depth of his ties to the organization. Former Jr. Panther and his dad does Panthers TV. Not quite Matthews returning to Arizona to save the Yotes, but would be a cool story if it materializes at some point.

 

[kilowatt]

You know what’s a Nice piece a rebuilding team would kill for? Chychrun

What's it gonna cost Arizona to get Chychrun?
