[Signing] Caps sign Chychrun to eight-year, $72M extension

That's alot of money for a guy who lights his home with beeswax candles

I don't think that's a great contract but with the cap going up as much as projected, maybe 9 is the new 6.

I also don't think this influences the conversation about Rasmus at all. What Chychrun signs for doesn't change the fact that the org's strength is right shot D prospects and he's declining a little bit every year.

It does in his relation to the general UFA market. Hanifin is the floor and this one is probably the ceiling now.

Sens sold him for fraction of the cost, and now he is paid like top 10 D man
