Quoting: sensonfire
My hope is that we either get a 1st + two 2nds or something like what Calgary got for Hanifin.
And if not, we just sign him to an 8 year extension.
He's only coming off a terrible season because the entire team is coming off a terrible season.
If he was on a much better team than Ottawa or Arizona, he would likely thrive as an elite Top 4 defenseman.
Furthermore, this year was the first year that Chychrun played a full 82 game season.
And he did so while being our best D on the powerplay as well as playing 22+ minutes a night on his offside on a poorly constructed hockey team.
That has to count for something.
well, we've got all sorts of issues here - first, hope away. doesn't mean it's happening.
and you want to use hanifin as a comp, but also want a first and two seconds? Hanifin got a first rounder two years away, a conditional third, and a depth d man....oh and he was playing fantastic as opposed to a major down year.
This trade is fair is Ullmark can be convinced to extend in Ottawa. I think the sens would be lucky to get a 2024 first, but probably has to hope for a 2025 first. adding two seconds is insane.
elite top four defensemen? first off, what does that mean? elite top four defensemen are called top pair defensemen, and chychrun has not looked like that. the word elite shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
