Idk if things dont improve do we really think both guys are staying. Sure they from the area but if there is no improvements they may go sorry I want to win to and move on

Like Giroux may end up back in FLA as he did want to stay there just couldnt make the money work.

Cause in the end if Alfie and Jacques dont get them to the playoffs Chycrun especially may be eyeing another team. Hes young, will make a lot of money in FA and strong competitive teams may be all over him

Got to keep all options open

Thanks for the info about Chchrun and family in the Ottawa Valley. From a Sens view, is it wise to extend Chychrun (with a raise) and Giroux. Not blaming those two players but could it just result in more of the same (finishing out of the playoffs)

Chart shmart lol. Mikkola was a big add in the trade and was very good at his role for his price. Either way pass on senko

Chychrun and Giroux won't become UFAs until the 2025 offseason.

If we trade them for some reason, it will be at the 2025 deadline.

Thats why I said talk to them this offseason and see if both want to extend or not.

If undecided or if they go no explore a trade

No need to trade now unless someone significantly overpays this TDL

Mikkola was a throw in.

And if the Rangers traded for Motte a second time, they could trade for Tarasenko a second time too.

Either way, we just fired the Head Coach and won't be trading Tarasenko just yet.

FWIW, Chychrun should sign for 8 million x 8 like Chabot and Sanderson.

Giroux should sign for anywhere between 5-7 million on a 1-3 year deal.

I'm confident it will get done.

Yes it is... Easier to use in trade conversations...

Sorry your guys aren't as good as you think

Isnt Chychrun an american? How are they in the ottawa valley?

Chychrun has dual citizenship.

However, several members of his family are from the Ottawa Valley

One of which is Uncle Luke Richardson, current Head Coach of the Chicago Blackhawks.



Also, Chychrun did his power skating and played pickup hockey with his Dad and Grandpa in Arnprior, which is a small town just down the highway from where the Sens play.

And Chychrun's Mom and Dad spend their Summers at a cottage in the Ottawa Valley too.
