<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BillytheKid3</b></div><div>There's speculation because teams are calling about him. I don't blame teams seeing what it will take.

It'll take A LOT unfortunately, and the trade above is in the right ballpark.

We don't want to see Niemela, Robertson and 2nd anymore lol</div></div>

Yeah, who knows? Depends on what his availability really is, I feel like insiders often try to stir the market sometimes especially when there might be a reason for a team to trade a player. I don't see why Staois would want to trade Chychrun at this point unless he's justifiably worried that he might not re-sign or he gets an offer that improves his team. The return would then really depend on that, I don't disagree with the value of the return suggested was just saying I don't see the motivation for OTT to just want two draft picks, unless the main target of the trade is Liljegren and the picks are just there to balance out the value. If Liljegren is just being viewed as a good/useful roster that is a fit but isn't a must-have. then the trade just seems like Ottawa trying to recuperate their assets which would only make sense if Chychrun wants out/they expect him to want out. Even then I highly doubt he would end up in Toronto even if the Leafs were willing to pay up to some extent.

I feel like there's usually a 1st in there at least but unfortunately, you'll probably keep on seeing underwhelming packages.

From Toronto's perspective, I don't see why they would move Liljegren, even if they wanted Chychrun. The Leafs should be looking to add to their dcore without subtracting guys who are contributing now and one of the few guys who is young on their blueline.
