Why do the Sens do this?
Chychrun is good. They like him. He's their 2nd best dman. They finally have a good top 4 after about a decade.
They've already had Ceci and it didn't work out. They aren't trying him again, or taking his contract. Holloway has yet to show much in the NHL. Even then, Sens don't have scoring issues. It's defense for them. They have forward prospects that can play 3rd line, or just sign a UFA without having to give up an asset. Wingers have been pretty easy to acquire.
So the only thing of real of value is a first. Considering they gave up a 12th OA+ for Chychrun, that first would have to be top 10.
Sens would decline.
Also, Chychrun doesn't want to play RD. It's why the Sens have been playing Chabot at RD when paired with Chychrun. So he wouldn't solve your RD issue.
