CHYCHRUN IS A SENS!!

I am absolutely shock!! I never could have imagine the Sens making this move, but they did it! The Arizona Coyotes defenceman Jakob Chychrun has been traded to the Ottawa Senators for a conditional first-round draft pick in ’23, a conditional second-round selection in ’24 (previously acquired from the Capitals) and a second-round pick in ’26.

Conditions: The ’23 1st-round pick is top-5 protected. If met, pick becomes ’24 1st-round unprotected. Additionally, should #Sens reach ’23 ECF, the 2nd-round pick becomes ’24 1st-round top 10-protected. If that condition is met, the pick becomes ’25 1st-round unprotected. 2/2

We can therefore say that their objective is to make a push to make their first playoffs apparence since they lost the conference final in 2017. They already have some pression from their fans so I think the GM made this move to help his team win some games before the end of the season.

The Sens have made some massive roster moves in the past season…
