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

Meltdown @rt

I'm sure he has his head in the sand somewhere by now.

The trade value he had of Chycrun was absolutely embarrassing

 

[Love]

By winning % the NYI pick is 1 spot higher then the OTT pick....

How many times do I have to say that the protection on the pick is a significant difference

 

[Tripledeke333]

Zero idea how/why Arizona gave him up for so little. Insane! This makes the Arizona GM look like a huge jerk.

 

[CDN24]

And there was no one out there that could top that offer???

Come on..... Good for Ottawa, but still.....

Ottawa's offer had things most interested teams could not match.

It has a 1st round pick that has a more than remote chance of being in the 6-10 range
Its almost certainly in the 6-16 range.
It did not require Arizona to retain or take on any salary costs (bad contracts)

Edm/Leafs etc could not make this deal has they did not have that quality of 1st rounder and Arizona would have needed to take on salary to equalize.

Not many teams sitting that far outside the playoff cut-off are willing to move their pick with only top 5 protection

Not wanting to take back a contract was likely a huge factor. I wonder if this was owner driven?

I also wonder if they got better offers at other times but the latest dominos screwed them over and they were left talking to only a few teams? Keeping him past this deadline was risky cause then it's one less playoffs.

 

[topshelf15]

Exact same reason as to why we got Debrincat....We were the only team willing to give up a high 1st for the player...Our rebuild was short two things another high end winger and a defender...Now we have both

 

[General Disarray]

He waited too long and overplayed his hand. Other GMs were done with it and didn't want to be the odd man out, so they made other moves and shifted to plan Bs and Cs. Big blunder by Armstrong.

Yup, and their offers were probably better. BA had to circle back to Ottawa after other teams moved on. Ottawa knew they had leverage and it showed.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Arizona are dead broke. That's why this offer was enough. Not taking money back was the most important factor. They should just move this team at this point. They can't compete.

Curious for Sens fans.

Now you have Chychrun, Chabot, and Sanderson on LD and only Zub on left. Which of the three aforementioned LD do you see moving to the right side?

Loved those trade proposals with the Panthers where insisted "Lundell plus Knight as a basis..."

Rumor has it Chy is comfortable on the right...But we may see something else

A classic case of always doubling down when the best move is to quite while you're ahead. Still wanted that extra 1st round pick only to bleed assets in the end.

Good move for the Sens with him being signed for 2 more season after this one.

I saw someone commented that Sanderson played his offside in college.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

The Arizona situation is so dire that prospects should probably be asking the Coyotes to not draft them at this point.

Yeah, maybe Boston and Toronto did not want to pony up, so they sent him to another up and coming team in the division for revenge?

Chyrun is a young, cheap Dmen with years remaining on his contract. Absolute steal for Ottawa.

Good move for the Sens as long as they can retain him after that term is over. If he walks cause he is asking for too much, you might not like it then. For now, I do agree, good move for the Sens. They do need to improve the D and goaltending. Chychrun is a good all around D man and he plays physical. I like the move and he fits for what the Sens need.

Is Norris out for season? No chance he plays playoffs if the Sens sneak in? Norris going down as a big hit early in the season.

For all these years of being a cap floor team, to being able to spend to the cap it seems so unreal right now..

Even if the Sens know he is gonna walk, they could prob flip him for a team that is willing to offer him an eight year contract and get a similar return back.Meanwhile, Chyrun should make Ottawa a legit playoff team going forward.

I love this move from the Sens perspective.

Probably Sanderson as he spent time on the right side in college.

 

[Mr Positive]

It should be noted that Ottawa's 1st has significantly more value than one from a contender

 

[Golden_Jet]

I believe his dad grew up in the Nepean area. Probably still has family/friends in the area

Also Sister and grandfather live in Ottawa and spent summers here at their cottage.

 

[JimmyApples]

I’m sure other teams offered better packages - the Coyotes asking price from the Sens a couple of days ago was two 1sts, Soogard and Greig.

I think they just stuck to their asking price too long, almost every team moved on (some of them probably offered more than Ottawa), and Ottawa was left as the team offering the most before the deadline.

Good question. I believe it ends up being Chychrun or Sanderson. Chyc has experience in the NHL. Sanderson played alot of RD at NoDak. I think it ends up being Sanderson. His escapability this year is something to behold. He walks the line incredibly well too. I don't think it's going to be Chabot.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Absolutely insane trade.

24 year old, number 1 D man signed 2 more years at 4.6 million.

Insane. Cant believe these times as a Sens fan.
