i dont see why Zona would do this. They will need to cut real money with their tiny arena.

Easy Zona pass.

I mean, if this is what it costs, sure.

Skjei's M-NTC probably nips this in the bud though

Don’t really see the point in trading 1 top 4D for another. They’d still need another D capable of getting playing top 4 mins in the playoffs.

I’m all for adding Chychrun, within reason, but not at the expense of dealing away a top 4 D.

yep... no from Az without a 1st to start... and a NH ready bluechip and this is not Suzuki... wait in Summer and then offer 4th liner KK + 2023 1st for him...

Doubt this is enough to get Chych - probably need to swap the 2nd w/ a 1st and do Bear instead of Skjei (which would actually benefit both teams I think - deeper Canes blue line, cheaper / more potential for ARI). That still might not do it b/c I'd imagine somebody overpays sorely for Chych.

And Skjei been great this season - his best as a Cane. There's just no scenario where Canes are sending away Slavin, Pesce, Skjei, or TDA this season. They want to acquire another D and move TDA to 3rd pair and let him specialize in offensive zone starts and PP.
