That's too much IMO, and Chychrun isn't the type of defenseman Edmonton should targeting anyhow.

Why not target him?

Barrie Broberg 2 firsts is closer to there asking price

Because it's too much to give up for a mediocre defender. Edmonton needs someone who can actually defend, not another offensive guy.

Chychrun is pretty strong defensively. And, by his standards, he had a down year offensively. The only woe is that he's a LD and the Oilers could really use a player of his calibre on the right side.

His coach certainly doesn't think so. He'd rather run Gostisbehere and Mayo against the opponents best players. That's a major tell.


Wrong, 20-21, vs only the weak Southwest, was the anomaly.

18-19: 0.73 P/60 at 5v5
19-20: 0.86
20-21: 1.52
21-22: 1.05

This was driven largely by ridiculous shooting luck against weak competition. Here it is in all situations P/GP:

18-19: 0.38 P/GP
19-20: 0.41
20-21: 0.73
21-22: 0.45

Again, 20-21 was the anomaly, not 21-22.
