<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>Anybody have a guess on Chychrun’s trade value and next contract?

Revisiting his last trade, he went for a sub 16 draft pick (unknown at time and top 5 protected), a 2nd, and a 2nd 2 years later.

I’m finding him very comparable to Vince Dunn and his 4 year, 7.35AAV, and acquiring him gets you next season at his current aav of 4.6.

I wonder if Ottawa gets back “more” than they paid, primarily because Chychrun played all 82 games this past season, and the acquiring team would be extending at the time of trade. I think they can flip him for more.

I dunno if my blues would be involved but the left side of our d is going to change eventually, one way or the other.</div></div>

Obviously, I'm biased about Chychrun's trade value, but I acknowledge that there's a distinct possibility we might get less than what we paid for him.



With that said, any trade for Chychrun should be about saving face.

I think an acceptable return on Chychrun would be a 1st + two 2nds, regardless of how high the 1st is.

It doesn't have to be #12 overall and it can even be #32 overall.



I also think that something like what Calgary got for Noah Hanifin as a pending UFA at the trade deadline would be acceptable.

A 1st + a conditional 2nd + a big right shot depth defenceman with a low cap hit.



As for what Chychrun might sign for, anywhere between 6.5 million and 8 million on an 8 year deal is well within his reach.

Thread: second attempt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>That's nice.

It very likely equals my level of interest in trading Boldy.

So we're even. Sound fair?

However, my prior comment has f***all to do with your's and my level of interest in moving our teams players. Instead, it dealt with one factor, and one factor only. Perceived player values.

You made a asinine comment in regards to what it would cost to acquire Tkachuk. My response was made entirely to disabuse you of that notion, and set the record straight.

You don't want to move Brady? That's fine.

Wanna state that it'd take an overpay to pry him out of Ottawa? Also fine.

But asking for THREE total equivalent 1st round talents in value back for him when one of those pieces involved is one that carries the EXACT SAME LEVEL of value of Brady himself is where I draw the line. Asking for anything more than that, especially two top prospects in this case, is going to get you ripped to shreds. Everytime.

Just saying.</div></div>

I'll make whatever comment I please.

If you don't like it, then too bad ...
