OTT declines

Declined, sorry.

Chytil seems to be back so I’m not sure there’s interest in a 3C anymore. If NYR doesn’t jump at that someone else will

I think pick 16 has to be involved for Ottawa to have the conversation on chychrun.

Also gotta imagine that Hayes at double retention is worth something even if it’s not amazing. I would say like a 3rd.

I'll give you a 5th to make the Hayes back to NY trades stop.

Fair enough. Debated on #16 or two 2nds. Not equal values obviously but doubt Doug wants to move the 1st. Maybe if a contract extension is basically in place.

Yeah for sure, they'd have to sniff around and make sure he'd extend. Chychrun isn't a perfect target but if they could add 22 minutes from him every night, it could really improve the output of the rest of the guys that have been a little out of their depth. I still have some concerns about his durability but he finally played 82 this season so that's a nice surprise.

Agreed. Not perfect, but wanted a fit where we are stuck with Leddy/Krug/Faulk for another year. Then when they go to M-NTCs, we can attempt to remove 1, 2 or all 3.

If Perunovich shot the other way or had shown a bit more promise then maybe but I agree with the other comment saying that 16th would likely need to be included as the main piece going back.

Is he actually almost back? I thought for sure his career could be over. Good for him.

He’s practicing with the team like he may play in playoffs

Your at minimal a 1st round pick away from getting Chychrun, That offer is easily beatable.
