He's friends with one of Pegulas daughters, Adam's reportedly checked in with Zona 3 times on the cost to acquire, he knows the Sabres are on the rise competitively, I highly doubt he would have said he didn't want to come here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Apparently KAs plan for when he is trying to win isn’t inside of Chychrun’s window. Or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmel Corn Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Wondering if Ottawa had lost both games to the Wings if they would have still made this trade. Winning those two games probably elevated their expectation for this season and they decided they're now "in" as far as competing for the playoffs.

It's gonna be a real challenge making it in with the cards that have been dealt. I sure hope he's got a solid plan of attack for next year or I will be pissed. Don't hold your breathe is my opinion. If he wasn't willing to better the team (because let's face it, Chychrun is an upgrade over several d men on this roster) to at least support the players in their efforts to push for a playoff spot this year, given how close they are. I have very low confidence he will next year as well. We shall see, because we have no choice 🤣 2 minutes ago, Weave said: Apparently KAs plan for when he is trying to win isn’t inside of Chychrun’s window. Or something.

I don’t understand it. Not a divisional opponent just got much stronger. 14th pick is way more valuable than the 31st. (Arizona's GM knows his history and knows it's 24 years past '99.) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 This price is obviously less than the rumored ask. I get that’s going to make some people unhappy that Adams didn’t beat it, but I never viewed Chychrun as a great fit, and I didn’t think the Sabres were going to acquire him. Between being left handed, injury prone, and a profile that’s a bit offensive leaning, I just don’t see him as a natural long term fit. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read the letter to the season ticket holders? - - - In seriousness, I get the impression with Adams that’s he’s very hard-line once a course of action has been chosen. Almost like he sets parameters in advance that can’t be broken in case there’s temptation for emotion to factor in or something. The season was set up as a development year for example, so it stays a development year. He set a price for Eichel, and pulled the trigger once it came. It would have been presumably so possible to make this deal, I feel like Adams sets his price, makes it known, and if you like, you can come to him.

freester Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 I suspect Chycrun may have not preferred to come here. It would be highly unlikely for him to get a huge next contract given that we already have 2 defenders that will require huge money deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could easily beat it. it’s far less than the two or three #1 Equivalents that everyone was quoting. Im not happy with this. Ottawa got better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I think we’re probably there re: this deadline. At this point we probably just sit it out who knows though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 I guess we are going home with the girl who we took to the dance. unless they get Seattle to trade away a Dman , I don’t see who else is out there a Chychrun trade would have given the fan base a good jolt of energy still shaking my head that he couldn’t get a deal done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Imagine the Sens reaching the ECF? That's kind of the point, Ottawa's picks will probably be better than ours. We would have had to give up more to top the Sens offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
