AZ will likely ask for Sanderson or similar prospects. Plus a first.

Chychrun isn't really a RD he's played maybe a dozen games on the right for AZ permanently moving him might not be good if AZ accepts. Big IF

A bunch of scraps doesn't get Jaob Chychrun, Besides he's LD not RD.

And a cold day in hell before Alex DeBrincat signs that cheaply. He has a 1 yr $9,000,000 qualifying offer. he'll get just like Matthew Tkachuk 8 x $9,500,000 or he walks.

Pretty Doubtful Cat signs below his QO. I would take 1M off of Pinto and give it to him


No they won't, they will probably ask for 2 1sts or Greig and a 1st

Well then it’s an easy one for me if I’m the Sens. Greig and a first for Chychrun. Plus whatever else to take Zaitsev. Book it.

Tim Stutzle likely will be the best player going forward, so signing cat to more than him doesnt make sense. The players aren't "scraps". Plus this is Chychrun were talking about, not Makar. If formenton isn't guilty (we'd find out by next summer prob), then he's a valuable player. Thomson is on the cusp of being an NHL defenseman, and should be around this time. He has top 4 potential. Chychrun has played RD. As for cat, he's gonna wait it out. But all players of the core took long contracts that are all reasonably priced. I wouldn't expect a 9.5 price tag

Alex DeBrincat already has 2 40 goal seasons, Tim Stutzle doesn't. There's no way DeBrincat stays in Ottawa and takes less than Stutzle that absolutely isn't happening.

Zaitsev sucks and the other pieces aren't much better. Other teams going after Jakob Chychrun would have to give up far better pieces than this to land him.

We're paying Tim based on potential, and Cat has most likely hit his full potential. At 25, Stutzle should be a 90 point player. Zaitsev sucks but Arizona is trying to be bad. It's a fair deal on paper, it's just possible Arizona might want different pieces (Greig, Pinto, Sogaard)
