It’s actually happened! Jakob Chychrun is an Ottawa Senator! And somehow Dorion only gave up three picks. The first is top-5 protected, which moves to an unprotected 2024 first if the condition is met. If the Sens reach the Eastern conference finals this year, the second becomes a 2024 first, top-10 protected. A few months ago, the ask included at least one of Pinto or Greig. Not trading either of them, even a single prospect, is remarkable work by the Sens. Chychrun, 24, was a first overall OHL pick to the Sarnia Sting, where he had a very good two season. Since being drafted 16th overall in 2016 to Arizona, he’s played in 373 games, scoring 60 goals and 170 points. He has had a few injuries in the past few seasons, but is an elite top-4 defenceman. He is a perfect pickup for Ottawa, just like DeBrincat was. He’s sat for a few weeks now, so I’m not sure if he’ll be put into games just yet or if he needs to get back up to speed.
