Canes Continue Their Infatuation With Defensemen

Team: 2023-24 Carolina Hurricanes
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 15, 2024
Published: Jan. 15, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Again, I think that Zub is the better long-term fit over Chychrun, but as much as I want Zub, he's likely less available for trade than Chychrun due to contractual status. There's also an argument that Chychrun, who can play both sides despite being a lefty, may be a smarter long-term signing than many other potential UFAs due to his potential 8 year pact kicking in at age 27, giving Carolina long-term flexibility if they're fearful of Slavin's next contract aging poorly. I can certainly see a scenario where Carolina's defense in 2 years is Chychrun-Morrow/Nikishin-Chatfield, or something of that nature.

Slavin is the only one on the defensive unit that is 100% being re-signed. Chychrun doesn't make anywhere near as much sense as Zub. Chatfield also shouldn't be anywhere near the top 4, I think he struggles as a bottom pairing defenseman as it is.

Something like
Slavin - Morrow
Nikishin - Zub
This would be a lot better. I get Zub likely isn't available, but there are other options. Or, just bring back Pesce, who is only a year older than Chatfield, and significantly better

I’ve seen this return posted several times now for either Chychrun or Zub. Going to need to pick a different player than Pono because I don’t think the canes would trade him.

Exactly... the coaching staff was gushing over him during his two-game stint with the team and I don't Don moving him if Rod likes him that much

The Sens arent moving Zub. Theyre looking for another Zub to add by moving Chychrun. They wont move Zub and create another hole

So why would the Canes trade for Chychrun if he’s not as good as Zub?

Lo what even are u saying?

Chychrun plays a different style than zub. Sens already have puck moving dmen in Sanderson, Chabot and Brannstrom. They only have 1 good defensive dmen in Zub. They need another to balance the lineup

Imagine trading these assets to then just bench Chatfield. Make any sense to you?
