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

[Jozay]

Arizona fans went from thinking they were getting Clarke to this. Damn.

 

[Neutrinos]

Why wouldn't Arizona have taken back Zaitsev in the deal a couple of weeks ago, and added another 2nd rd pick to their stockpile?

 

[cool beans]

Uhh debatable?
Barrie (seen by some as just a cap dump)
A guy who went last in the first last year, and this years pick which would be a pick in the 20s.

Ottawas first is much better of an asset. Id say its similar.

Crazy tho how he was expected to return a haul and got way below market value while being in a sellers market. Arizona GM dropped the ball hard on this one lol

 

[PuckG]

You had the Oilers desperate to improve their D and in the palm of your hand and you held out for this ****.

 

[WarriorofTime]

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.

 

[JKG33]

Chychrun fantasy owner here. Pissed that I missed out on weeks of production for this and landed in the worst possible situation

I'm pretty happy. He's better than Chabot, so he'll get PP1. And Ottawa's forwards can do some damage. It's a lot better than him playing on the PP2 on a better team

 

[Vukotal Recall]

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

One of those things is not like the others

 

[Love]

 

[wonton15]

That is a weak, weak return.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Pretty underwhelming return after offering him around for so long. Ottawa did well here.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

It’s not so bad.

I expected two late 1sts and a late 2nd. This is an early-mid 1st and two mid-late 2nds.

Not great, not terrible. Happy it’s over. And Chychrun goes to the place he wanted.

Based on some of your topics, this is not even close to your expectation of top prospects and picks. Arizona GM did horrendous.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Dorian has been a genius the past couple seasons my god

 

[The Great Weal]

Very cheap wow

 

[Akrapovince]

So many people going to say "we could have done that" but how many would also have been pissed if their team had traded what could very well be a top 10 pick in this years draft?

You would think Chych helps Ottawa lower the value of that first, but you never know. Either way, well done Dorion.

The risk we take is also our leverage for value the other way.

Atleast now it’s in our hands.

 

[Canadienna]

Did Kypreos ever follow up with his Brandt Clarke for Chychrun tweet?

 

[Claypool]

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

 

[Connor McConnor]

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

 

[CupofOil]

Ottawas first is worth 2 playoff teams firsts honestly.

It's a mid 1st and they just strengthened Ottawa risking it being a worse 1st. It's a clown return considering how stingy Armstrong was being with Chychrun.

 

[leafsfan5]

One of those things is not like the others

I mean Gavrikov ain't the best but it's all just examples of teams who were interested in Chychrun

 

[Kranix]

Did Kypreos ever follow up with his Brandt Clarke for Chychrun tweet?

He doesn't remember tweeting it

 

[cyris]

"1st if OTT makes '23 ECF"

*check standings*

yeah I don't think that one is happening

Yeah that was one of my biggest take aways. Why even bother with that. Even if they make the playoffs they aren’t getting through 2 of the top 6 teams. Lololol

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

What is Arizona even doing? Why the hell didn't the Canucks make this trade instead? So many questions.

Canucks needed a right-shot D more.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Good trade and good time to move for the Senators. Chychrun is what they need and helps a blue line that really needed it. He could stand to stay healthier, but Dorion waiting out Arizona on this was incredibly well done. And credit to the Senators for their drafting of late, building a core, and being able to have the internal talent to withstand moving these picks. Arizona waiting 18 months on a package like that? Better nail those picks.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ottawa was one of Chychrun's preffered destinations since last summer too. I'm pretty sure he spends a lot of the offseason here.

 

[Gaud]

Imagine getting Chychrun for an equivalent return (or less) than Jeanot
