Chychrun - Open Discussion

He reports that people are speculating on it, it's a nothing tweet.

LHD is the last thing the Devils need to pay a premium on.

As an islanders fan.. this seems like a mistake too many holes on the wing to move the 2OA for a defenseman when you already have dougie, siegenthaler, smith, and Hughes under team control + devils don’t compete this year and a lot of the chychrun value comes from his definitive under market value contract that doesn’t benefit the devils as much since they have so much space and this year would be a wasted year of value.. better of packaging for debrincat and Tkachuk or just making the pick

Ive been telling ppl for a while that Devils should offer #2 for Chycrun and #32. They have the centers they need, they can sign Johnny hockey in free agency to get their winger, and then they’ll have a true top pairing in Hamilton/Chychrun. Hughes wouldn’t be thrown to the wolves then and Ty smith could be sheltered. Devils would be scary to play, coming from a NYR fan

They could also try and get Forsberg for the top LW over gaudreau too, idk hm tho. if they were to add Husso, Forsberg and Chychrun then they really are going to be competitive lmao

I haven’t looked at their total cap space recently but they could potentially go for both which is crazy
