Byram? You gotta be trolling with that.

You dont think the Avs can afford to keep byram so you trade him for a guy who will make as much or not more than Byrams next contract?
This is some galaxy brain type thinking

Feelsbadman Pittsburgh has no one to offer except draft picks 😭

Chychrun's biggest appeal is his team friendly deal for the next few years for the level of player that he is. Given that Anaheim will be burn most of that deal while the team continues to improve to playoff contention, he is of lower value to us than he would be to a team in the league who is much closer to the cap ceiling.

This paired with his injury history and I would rather hold onto those pieces than purchase Chychrun if I am the Ducks.

No no no. I just read it and I apologize. I worded it wrong. I meant I don’t think they would be able to afford Chychrun, and Byram may be better than Chychrun. Colorado shouldn’t trade Byram for Chychrun. I agree with you. I’m sorry for the spelling and confusion.

Like you said, some of these teams will say no right off the bat, but I don't think Arizona would want a LD as the main piece that they get for Chychrun, probably would want a C prospect. They probably would only want a LD in a one for one for one of those untouchables like Byram or Power. They want multiple pieces maybe thr secondary prospect would be a LD.

Hmm. Interesting… okay, I think they would want a LHD as the main piece, because they are giving a good one, so they would want one to play with Soderstrom in the future.. I could be wrong though… they also could draft one if there are some good ones in the next few drafts if they got some good picks as well!

Most of these guys aren’t available and many have a higher potential than Chychrun is

That’s absolutely fair! I thought I would throw some ideas out there to see what everyone would say. I think some may be doable, and I wonder if some teams would trade these guys. I do think Chychrun would be better on a better team as well.

I think you gotta look at a lower level prospect .

Someone like Lassi Thomson for example who has top 4 potential and is trying to establish himself . Then you add a young top 9 forward like Formenton who has potential . And a 1st round pick. Ignore all the details/ 2018 Juniors stuff, because I’m just trying to show on ice value .

Thomson + Formenton + 2023 1st is probably the right value for Chychrun . No team should be giving up more than that

Good LHDs aren't too valuable in general or hard to comeby. They are shopping Chychrun as a great LHD, so the goal is to get the multiple pieces but also supervaluable ones like a center which might be a spot that they feel like they are lacking in. The main guy they wanted out of Ottawa was Pinto. They drafted Cooley, and might get a chance at a top C this draft as well but it's always good to have a few guys that can fill the 1C and 2C roles for the future, and if they end up having to move a guy to the wing or get a solid 3C out of it that's not bad either.

If they can get Byram or Power they would do that but that's going to be a one for one at best for them, realistically, neither Buf or Col would do that though. Broberg might be a guy they want out of Edmonton but they probably want Holloway as the centerpiece.

ZERO chance the Sabres would do that

I think Chychrun to the Jackets is probably dead at this point. Jarmo has been known to be petty, and it’s an open secret Chychrun balked at a trade to Columbus at the draft then tried to walk back when Gaudreau signed. Also don’t see them trading Mateychuk at all.

Zero sense for Buffalo

COL never does that, Byram is going to be better than Chychrun cost controlled and RFA for the next half decade when the cap goes up significantly. But tell me how the Avs can’t afford him🤦🏻‍♂️

Why would Buffalo do that? Thats nonsensical. Sabres dont need LD and arent trading one of the best prospects in the league who is also already LD, for a PP QB that they already have in Dahlin

Hawks keep KK easily.

Thank you for your comments! I will look at a lower level prospect. I knew of course most of these would never happen, but you think Samberg, Sandin, York, Miller, and Bjornfot are too good to be included in a trade for a guy like Chychrun?

Thank you for your comments! I just thought they would want a good LHD in a trade back, but I guess they could draft one. They drafted Cooley, and Geekie, but a center man wouldn’t be too bad to get. I didn’t realize they wanted Pinto. I’ve never heard of this. Byram or Power they won’t get. However, some of these guy I think they may be able.

Guys I know. That is the guy I would want if I was Arizona. I know Buffalo wouldn’t do that, and I said that in the description of the trade. I know they don’t need Chychrun… I was just seeing what people would say to the trades..

Well then you got what you want...
There still more sensical trades from Buffalo than swapping LD to Buffalo's disadvantage

I know I didn’t want to write an essay about why Colorado wouldn’t do it ahha. I know they don’t do that. That’s just the main piece I think they would want, which of course turns this trade into nothing.

Thank you for your comment! I was thinking they keep him over Chychrun, but I thought there may be a possibility that they may trade him.

Absolutely! I have a feeling they would want Power, which would turn the trade into nothing of course as they would be stupid to trade him. Thank you for your comments!

Minnesota very quickly declines. Minnesota is the last team needing Ld. Now and future

Yeah
