I think it’s a safe bet that if the COVID season had been a full one, Chychrun wouldn’t have played 82 - it’s something he’s never done.
He’s 24 and he has chronic knee issues. Arizona wants to move him because they of all teams can’t pay a guy big money who isn’t available for 10-20% of the season year after year.
It’s not even that I’m opposed to bringing him in, but I just can’t stand the thought of spending what limited assets we do have on more defensemen before we address the dire need at centre.
Everything else takes a back seat, because it’s an awfully tall order to get out Round 2 without another C who’s at least as good as Lindholm.
