Senator fans need to realize that Chychrun has been bleeding value over the last year.
He was an attractive piece because of his low cap hit and offensive play. That cap hit is gone as soon as another team acquires him and extends him with an annual AVV of above 7 million. He's now just a 3-4, left handed, offensive defenseman that has serious defensive warts to his game.
Ottawa can probably get more for Chych at the deadline, but to do so, it'll be a distraction all year. I prefer the team moves on from Chabot due to his injury issues and NTC kicking in now, but I doubt the organization will.
Forsberg was recovering from 2 torn ACL's last year. He should improve this year especially on a team as defensively sound as Boston. He is a cap dump in this situation, so for Boston to take him, Ottawa needs to pay an equivalent to a second round pick.
