Confirmed Trade: [OTT/ARI] Jakob Chychrun for 2023 1st (top 5 protected), 2024 2nd (1st if OTT make '23 ECF), and 2026 2nd round pick

[Golden_Jet]

For Arizona's sake, I hope all the conditions are that Chychrun gets off the plane in Ottawa.

That won’t be an issue, his cottage is close to Ottawa, and one of his preferred destinations.

 

[Coach Parker]

No retention. That's the difference between what they got and what LA, BOS, TOR and company were offering.

 

[GOilers88]

A pick in the top 15 is a lot better than late 20s in this draft.

Everyone acting like every 1st round pick is the same all of a sudden

 

[WarriorofTime]

What the f*** is Arizona even doing? Eternal rebuilding?

Well he doesn't fit their timeline, so trading him made sense but I think they expected a big package

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Honestly, this should be a case study of how you lose all leverage. Half the league was interested in this guy and Arizona's insane prices likely drove them away

Boston with Orlov
Edmonton with Ekholm
LA with Gavrikov
Toronto with McCabe

Coyotes realized they were left at the dance with no partner and started to panic. Great deal by Ottawa

The fact Arizona went from demanding Debrusk/Swayman + 1st + a prospect like Lysell to this speaks volumes.

Ottawa will make the playoff this year ..

Surely you realize how tight the Eastern wild card race is?

 

[HarrisonFord]

I feel like the return is about right for the player he is. I think everyone is looking at the return vs what Arizona said they were looking for - not his true value.

 

[Donuts]

Not saying canucks should have gone for it
But they paid nyi 1st 2nd, they could have added another 3rd rder to get chychun instead of hronek?

 

[cg98]

Canucks needed a right-shot D more.

Canucks need defensemen that can defend lol

 

[King Karl]

He's probably pissed he's going to Ottawa. But it's a good deal for the Senators only having to use draft picks.

I think he has some family connections here.

 

[ThankGord]

underwhelming return after all the hype

 

[Pavels Dog]

Why exactly didn't Edmonton top this offer and settle for Ekholm instead? As bad a return as it is for Arizona, I don't love it for Ottawa. Chychrun is likely walking in two years, they are spending a lot of draft capital lately and not that competitive.

Does Edmonton have a top 15 draft pick to move? Ottawa could still easily slide down and have that pick end up being around ~10.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Ottawa will make the playoff this year ..

Will they? 5 points out of a spot right now.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Lol @ Edmonton for not going for Chychrun instead of an older Ekholm.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Watch Ottawa flip him at 50% for twice the haul.

 

[McAsuno]

Lol, that's what Bill Armstrong deserves after being so greedy with the kings and oilers. Goof.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Be cool to have Battle of Ontario games that actually have a bit of meat behind them for the first time in...a decade?

 

[vanarchy]

Canucks need defensemen that can defend lol

We need defensemen in general so Allvin can't be done yet lol.

 

[Canes]

What a shitshow in Arizona. Brutal. I want these guys to be good but that might be impossible at this point.

 

[WarriorofTime]

So looks like it's true that Arizona refused to take any money back.

Just relocate them already.

Nah, they just need an arena and to hit on some picks at the top of the draft and they'll be a solid franchise. They've had some bad luck and are good for the League's TV footprint because that's a big market. Keeping them in AZ makes sense.

 

[Golden_Jet]

This is not really “cheap” imo. That 1st is a big time pick.

Today by points% it is 13th

 

[D Wakaluk]

Armstrong dicked around too much

What an underwhelming finish to this saga.

Yuck.

 

[JimmySpaetzle]

Ottawa: has gotten Debrincat and Chychrun for 2 first rounders, 3 second rounders, and a third rounder

Tanner Jeannot: fetched a former first round pick, a first rounder, a second rounder, a third rounder, and a fourth rounder

Make it make sense lol

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Sens paid less for Chychrun then Jeannot went for. Wild lol

Not really.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Protection is nice, I can't wait for April when we walk away with Bedard and Chychrun.
