i don't know man this team really hasn't looked like it should be the one to go all in

I think the biggest trade chip ARI is looking for is that coveted 2023 1st (which you haven’t made part of this deal). That being said, any other team offering that piece probably leapfrogs this offer

They were discussing Chychrun to Toronto HNiC and that the price is still the equivalent of 3 1sr rd picks. They also think the most likely trade is to LA if at all.

I’d be careful with how much I pay for Chychrun. If you look at his career, the most amount of games he’s played in a year is 68 and the lowest amount of games is 47. Hell, he’s currently injured now. I don’t wanna pay a kings ransom for a guy who could be injured 14-35 games on any given season.

Roast me if you want, I don’t think he’s worth the risk.

Look at the conditions for the trade.. I don't think any of those conditions happen, but it's nice to have dreams. IF Toronto swapped 2024 for 2023 and included the same conditions for 2024. I think the Yotes would consider it. Only thing I'd change is tacking on another pick if neither one of the conditions is met. Possibly adding a 3rd.

It's worth noting that once Bill Armstrong establishes value for his assets, he won't move them for less. We've seen this in cap dump deals and some trades here and there. At this point, I wouldn't doubt it if the Coyotes held onto Chychrun until the deadline where the return would skyrocket

I get that the 2023 1st is a *condition* but why would ARI leave that return to chance?

Chychrun is "hardly going all in." A big overpay for a player and or position that really isn't needed. Leafs defence has been fine, it's the offence that hasn't produced.
