I love how people continue to ignore that Orlov is the internal Skjei replacement, and they have Nikishin that is waiting in the wings for next offseason. Chychrun is an unnecessary luxury, and it would be pointless to move a top prospect that would ultimately be more likely to have a bigger impact than Chychrun, as well as a 1st.
The only reason Chychrun got what he did in the trade to Ottawa was the term remaining on his deal. If the Canes were wanting him, they would have made the move then. Not to mention, if the Canes need offensive dmen, Morrow likely joins the Canes next season, Nikishin the season after, and depending on what happens with Burns, a offensive dman could be acquired via UFA or trade, as the next couple of years will have quite a few quality dmen available. Worst case scenario, TDA performed decently enough next to Slavin.
