Confirmed Trade: [WSH/OTT] Jakob Chychrun for Nick Jensen and 2026 3rd round pick

This is what happens when you trade for a top pairing offensive defenseman and you already have a top pairing offensive defenseman.

 

[Speatleysson]

Obviously it's a brutal return, but Chychrun is really a shadow of his old self. He's not a good dman and he butted heads with a lot of guys in the room.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I wish Pittsburgh was in on this at that buying price.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Nobody buys high and sells low like the Sens

Ullmark for Korpisalo and 25OA

 

[Kshahdoo]

Chychrun stinks…the league has finally caught on.

Agree, he isn't worth his money. So it's good for Ottawa to get rid of him and get a solid defensive RD.

 

[Danarqhy]

Ottawa just got dry bummed hard.

 

[ottawagm]

Did WSH pay the 2M bonus today? If so there's a bit of extra value in the deals.

 

[StoneHoffs129]

Dorion was trying to keep his job by flashy moves and painted this franchise into a corner. Finally got to pick in the first round after trading away multiple firsts for players of not much need.

This is what happens when you trade for a top pairing offensive defenseman and you already have a top pairing offensive defenseman.

It’s amazing how much better Chychrun just got in the last 30 minutes, I was so sure he was a shit player we’d get nothing for - everyone’s opinions changed so quickly - he must have played amazing over the weekend.

 

[Neutrinos]

You had to know there wasn't much of a market for him when he wasn't moved before the draft, but this return is... underwhelming

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Not a good trade. But if jensen can be a stable stay at home defenseman be is a better fit for ottawa than chychrun was.

The senators could be a better team today than they were yesterday. But damn it sucks to lose the value dorion gave up to get chychrun and debrincat

Jensen is washed up, he will not be able to keep up with either of Chabot or Sanderson.

He fits, but he sucks.

 

[TheFalk]

ouch...

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Nobody buys high and sells low like the Sens

Should have traded him at the deadline.

Oh well, it’s a sunk cost from the Dorion era. We needed a RHD badly and Ottawa can’t atteact UFA’s. Shitty trade but it is what it is.

 

[ottawagm]

Who knows, maybe we also get a CapFriendly license for our franchise, since we seem to use it so much.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Yeah that's my worry too. Trying to look positively haha.

The good news is the senators can score goals. If they're able to play better defensively with a better goalie they can be competitive.

But honestly who knows. Dorion made an absolute mess of things and Staios is struggling to fix it all.

Jensen is washed up, he will not be able to keep up with either of Chabot or Sanderson.

He fits, but he sucks

 

[ReimanSum1908]

You mean for his rights before free agency, right?

Right?

Brutal.

 

[The Management]

With Jensen and Ullmark they should be a bit harder to score against, settle them down defensively.

Jensen feels like a bit of a consolation price for missing out on better UFAs, but big picture I can sort of see what the Senators are doing here.

 

[ReimanSum1908]

What happened to him to bring about such a sharp decline?

 

[yianik]

Man 2 years ago I thought Ottawa was turning the corner. More like a nose dive.

 

[AcerComputer]

Why not keep him and trade him at the deadline?

 

[Speatleysson]

What happened to him to bring about such a sharp decline?

injury history? Attitude? I can only provide speculation.. but as bad as ottawa's asset management has been, this is probably Chychrun's current value.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I have no proof of this, because it happened offline, but I literally suggested this exact trade a couple days ago. Chychrun for Jensen. Except that I said the sweetener would be a 2nd rounder instead of 3rd.

I'm still amused I dreamt/predicted the Galchenyuk/Domi trade a few days before it happened although in my dream there were pick swaps as well instead of a 1-for-1 like it was IRL

 

[New User Name]

What a horrible trade for the Sens.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Caps "buy-low" summer continues (in terms of assets). PLD, Thompson, Chychrun.

It could all easily blow-up in their faces but it's been an interesting way to acquire youngish (all around 26) talent still theoretically well within their prime years.

Yeah, the Caps have been making smart moves.

I hate it.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

I never wat

What happened to him to bring about such a sharp decline?

I never watched him much in Phoenix, but seeing him on the Sens I have a hard time believing he was ever good. Very low hockey IQ and very little effort or toughness defensively.
