Asking Price Clear On Jakob Chychrun

January 8, 2022 at 8:12 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 34 Comments

The Arizona Coyotes were always going to be at the middle of the trade deadline hot stove as they continue their scorched earth rebuild, but it was originally assumed that Jakob Chychrun wouldn’t be included in that teardown. The 23-year-old defenseman is signed to a long-term, reasonable contract and is still obviously young enough to help the club when they’re ready to compete for the playoffs again.

It turned heads when Chychrun’s name hit the rumor mill last month, but the ask was called “massive” by multiple reports. There’s now some clarity on what massive means, as Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek explained on Hockey Night In Canada:

What the Coyotes are looking for is a young player, a high-end prospect plus a first-round pick. Teams we believe that have the assets who could do that and might be interested, include the Los Angeles Kings, perhaps the St. Louis Blues and certainly the Anaheim Ducks–who might be losing Hampus Lindholm to unrestricted free agency at the end of the year. 

Marek also indicated that as many as ten teams have already reached out on Chychrun and likened the potential return to the one that the Minnesota Wild received for Brent Burns in 2011. That deal saw Devin Setoguchi (then a 24-year-old coming off his third straight 20+ goal season), Charlie Coyle (the 28th overall pick a year earlier), and a 2011 first-round pick go to Minnesota from the San Jose Sharks.

Chychrun is averaging nearly 25 minutes a night for the last-place Coyotes this season, and though he is obviously not having a good year there is a lot to like about the left-shot defenseman. Selected 16th overall in 2016 he has already racked up 128 points in 316 career games and possesses the kind of size-skating combination that teams fall in love with.

Even with the defense market potentially getting a name like John Klingberg added in the coming months, Chychrun is a prize that almost every team in the league could be interested in, even those out of this year’s playoff race. Signed through the 2024-25 season he carries a cap hit of just $4.6MM and would step into almost any top-four with ease.

      Vilardi has a history of severe back injury and his trade value is minimal right now.Spence is undersized former 4th rounder.Arizona already has 5 second round picks

      … why would the Bruins WANT to hand over a heap for him? Chychrun’s a good defenseman, no error, but he wouldn’t even be a top-pairing guy in Boston … and that’s not counting that the Bruins have no cap space, and they have to find room for McAvoy’s cap hit to double next season, never mind signing Bergeron to a new deal.

      And sure, Brent Burns turned out to be worth that kind of package, but that’s because he went from being a good young defenseman to a Hall of Fame candidate in San Jose. Now how many times have teams handed over the bank for promising young players and have had it blow up in their faces?

      AZ would have 6 2nd rounders! They could certainly trade those into a couple young NHLer’s!

      Branstrom and Bernard-Docker are “B” prospects. Chychrun doesn’t move unless an “A” prospect or young player goes to Arizona. Draft choices are “maybe NHLers”; Chychrun is a proven value.

      They’d need to throw in kassian just to balance money. And they already have 14 million guaranteed in Nurse/Keith on the left side.

      Not enough salary going back to AZ, need to be a closer to Chychrun’s salary.

      Kassian(cap dump) Broberg, Holloway, 23 1st protected. I don’t think AZ would do that though

      Holloway’s absence from play this year makes it more difficult to establish a firm value. But before his injury he was definitely considered an “A” prospect. So depending on how Yotes see him, offering Holloway could get Arizona’s attention. The draft pick could end up being an “almost 2nd round” pick; so it will have a lesser value than a top 15 pick or even a middle round pick. Broberg is a “B” prospect. So, the package may be something that gets the trade done, but no Kassian. The key to the trade is Holloway.

      Scaphoid bone fractures can be tricky and can linger.I believe his injury was not healing well after first surgery(March 2021) and he required second one(September 2021).At this point Holloway is in the same category as Vilardi…..talented player with chronic health issue.

    Chychrun is a good young dman on a good contract for the next few years. Considering that Yotes will have problems making the cap floor in the next few years why would a trade be considered? Arizona is fishing for a better than value return. Chychrun gets traded only if Arizona gets in return something like … Turcotte, Kuspari and a 2022 1st round pick. So, only a nervous GM ready to go out on a limb will get Chychrun.

    So the same price as Eichel???? Granted injury but Eichel is still by far the better player even with injury. These trade scenarios are a joke. Be happy with a pick and prospect now because that’s what it will be if they’re going to move this guy!

      No kidding, LarryJ. I’ve never bought in to Eichel=superstar, but Eichel is at level worst a star #1 center with a strong record of consistent, high-level production. I thought the trade package for him was high given the uncertainty of his health (and that the Knights will have to dump more productive players to fit in the salary, down the road), but it wasn’t *stupidly* high. Expecting an Eichel-like price for Jakob-freaking-Chychrun is demented.
