NHL 23 | JAKOB CHYRCHRUN TRADE TO OTTAWA |
|
Jakob Chychrun's long wait is over.
After sitting out eight games while awaiting a trade, the defenceman is finally on the move after being dealt from the Arizona Coyotes to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.Rather than wait until the NHL's trade deadline to hit on Friday, the Coyotes found their asking price in a deal they acquired a conditional first-round draft pick this year, a conditional second-round pick in 2024 and a second-round pick in '26. The Senators, meantime, add Chychrun to a young core of a team that's won three in a row -- including back-to-back drubbings of division rival Detroit -- and began Wednesday five points back of the second and final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. In Ottawa, the son of former NHL defenseman Jeff Chychrun now enters a playoff race for just the second time in his professional career. |
