Ottawa loses that Chychrun trade.

Nobody's giving you positive value for a 3M backup

that dont get chych, ott declines, EDm dont have the assets to aqcuire chych

Edmonton doesn't want Chychrun, they have Nurse and Ekholm anchoring their LHD corps. They'll spend their assets elsewhere.

You can't make a trade conditional on a player (Chychrun) resigning with the new team anymore. It's been like that for several years already.



Forsberg might be an acceptable cap balancing add in a bigger deal since he only has 1 year left on his contract but that's about it. Nobody will be paying anything for him especially not without retention and particularly not a team like Calgary that needs to move a goalie out.

Damn, didn't know they changed that, remembered the Sens themselves did this with Duchene in the Columbus trade.
