Thread: Bo and Chychurn
Can we talk about Chychrun for a second? I agree that he has all the tools and the contract that make him an attractive player. However, I don’t see him as a true number one D right now and all the trade speculation has him fetching a package with top prospects and 1st round picks.

Chychrun exploded last year, but he shot well above his career shooting pct and had an ozone start of over 60%. This year both are way down and so are his numbers. Playing next to McAvoy would free him up from the heavy lifting defensively, but CM does that for any partner. Could the Bs get 75% of the production for 50% of the acquisition cost from someone else or is Chychrun that good that he could carry his own pair or form a super pair with CM73 and make the trade package worth it?

Full caveat that I don’t watch many Coyotes games so I can only go by his hockey reference page and how every article about him mentions his struggles this year. So let me ask AZ fans: if he was on another team would you trade your only highly ranked prospect and multiple picks (including at least one 1st) for him?

Thread: Ducks moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinadian67</b></div><div>If JDB keeps producing on the top line, I doubt he’s going anywhere! And Frederick on the RW is probably a bad idea as well as breaking up his line like a previous post mentioned. I doubt Sweeney’s making any big moves.</div></div>

100% speculation on my part (like literally every post on this website), but I’m starting to feel like JD is staying for the season. It’s hard to see a scenario where he gets moved and the Bs get better unless it’s part of a series of moves to upgrade at D and bring in a top 6 RW.

Bs will have $5 mil in deadline cap space which expands their trade horizons since they could theoretically make deals that aren’t dollar for dollar or need a lot of salary retention.

And please no “you have to get something for him before he walks for nothing in the offseason.” 30 games of good production is something. Trade his rights for a 5th or 6th rounder in the summer and enjoy watching a Bs team with some depth in the playoffs for a change.

Thread: Jets deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>I might be one of the few Jets fans who say this, but I think DeBrusk would look good in a Jets jersey. I watch a lot of B games (wifeys team) and I always liked his game. Fast, aggressive, great forechecker with a scoring touch. If he extended with a reasonable cap hit, I think he would add some middle six scoring.
We aren’t getting a 3rd for BooLoo, maybe a 7th but tbh he’s probably waiver wire bound. I’d be fine taking Ritchie for Toronto’s 22’ 2nd but I doubt Chipman is.
Getting our second back from Washington would be good for Stasny. 42-45 range could target Rinzel</div></div>

I could 100% see DeBrusk putting up really good numbers for the last month of the season for the Jets, signing a multi year deal then going back to going 20 games between goals again.

Thread: Klingberg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Boston has no business trading 1sts for rentals. This team is not a cup contender, it’s a waste.

If they decide to trade 1sts and/or the 2 decent prospects they have, they need to be bringing back players with term or players they can extend.

That being said i can see Donnydumba$$ doing this.</div></div>


If you look at the deadline deals the last few years that involve giving away 1sts, it never works out for a rental. Guys with term like Goodrow or Skjei are the rare cases where there’s real value. Otherwise you’re giving up future assets for guys like Kevin Hayes, JG Pageau, Tomas Tatar, etc. Goodrow was the only player in the last 5 years who’s new team gave up a 1st and won the cup and he had 2 years left on his deal
