Is Ottawa Making The Playoffs??

I'm a Sens fan, and can't believe they didn't have to give up a top prospect or even a roster player. Great trade.

Dorion is a great GM, Senators are improving quickly

Even with an Ottawa miss this year, this is a huge trade. Chycrun is only 24, and a very good RHD who is likely good enough to be a #1 pairing guy for a long time. The conditions on the picks basically ensure they stay a 2nd and 1st, very good business from the Sens.

So glad to see the Sens be a buyer at this time of the season. Instead of a seller. Show’s confidence in the boys already in the room.

This is exactly what the Sens needed. I wonder if they will pair him up with Chabot, or Sanderson?

kinda surprised by this deal, didn't expect the Sens to end up with Chychrun, great ass deal

As a Sens fan, I’m ecstatic we landed this man. As a hockey fan, I’m happy I don’t have to read about Chychrun rumours anymore, or at least for the next few years.

I am stunned that the Leafs, Bruins, TB, NJ, Rangers etc didn't or couldn't have offered something as good or better than this deal to the Coyotes. He would have been the No.1 Dman on Toronto right off the hop. Well done Ottawa.

completely agree....good for Sens! They been playing well lately...players and great fans deserve some positive news. I hope new owners do them right as well.

Fast forward a couple,weeks and he’s already been amazing. He has 2 goals and a few assists. Definitely the top 4 we been looking for. Now we just need a proven goaltender because Sogaard is good but not NHL caliber yet. He consistently allows 4+ goals a game which means the Sens have to score 5+ goals a game…and they were but have cooled out a bit. If Stützle or Tkatchuj aren’t scoring, the Sens have a hard time getting goals. If we can land a top 10 goalie for next season…may not win the Cup but definitely a Cup contender. Also depends on what happens with DeBrincat.

What’s even more impressive that so many folks are missing (especially ‘yotes fans) is the 2023 1st rounder is conditionally protected: If the pick ends up being a Top 5 Ottawa keeps it and Arizona gets their 2024 1st instead. And to think that I had an Arizona fan today on Facebook trying to convince me that “Ottawa got absolutely fleeced” on this deal 🤣

My guess is that Armstrong didn't expect trades to happen this early and that he thought there would be a bidding war and some one would get desperate. The minute Horvat got traded it forced other teams to move. In the last month I've sincerely believed that 4 different teams are unbeatable. I don't remember the last time 6 team's have had this much of a chance. I kind of don't really think NJ will win it. I got sidetracked, teams in the run had already traded their assets so Armstrong went for the best picks he could get I imagine. His mistake is to have assumed the deadline would be like every other. Burn.

I love how Dorion is a living meme but also good at his job. That opening clip had me dying.

As a Canucks fan I’m jealous. I’ve been considering quitting as a fan for a while ngl. Good for the senators an up and coming team. I also heard Ryan Reynolds’s is interested in buying part of the team and that would be awesome. Good time to be a Sens fan

Damn, good deal! I’d didn’t know sens could land such an awesome deal!

It's not as great of a trade as you make it out to be. I have a feeling that the Sens are going to regret it over time. Injury-prone defencemen are a real handicap to any team, especially one like the Sens that's are not a top tier team. This one's a gamble that MIGHT pay off.

As a Sens fan I couldn’t be happier

This was such a bad move for the Coyotes I’m surprised Gary Bettman didn’t step in to try and block it.

Too bad we couldn't have landed him in the off-season, probably be in a much better position for our first round matchup

I remember when Sakic was holding on to Duchene forever and when he finally made a move he got more than anyone expected and showed his fortitude. I think that may be what the thinking was with the Yotes, hold on until someone pays far beyond what the players actual worth is. The problem seemed to be that no one wanted Chycrun that bad and he is overrated; like, he is good but he is not physical enough and his defensive prowess is not equal to what it should be for a top minutes dman, along with his extensive injury history, so nobody was willing to go there and risk it.

I love this for Ottawa. The battle of Ontario is going to be great again very soon.

Absolutely ridiculous how the Sens managed to fleece for both DeBrincat AND Chychrun from their teams with just draft picks and no prospects. Excellent work done by Dorion.

As one of the few yotes fans. I am extremely unhappy especially, our defense is absolutely garbage and giving up a first line defenseman like for PICKS hurts

AZ overplayed their hand. They messed up the deal to LA somehow and then they insisted that the Oilers give them 2 Firsts + 1 Second + a prospect without taking a contract back. They just lost a minute munching a top pairing Dman. The Sens just got better even if they don't make the playoffs this season, their future is bright and might become a contender as soon as next season. I can see the franchise selling for a really good price.

It's not a fleece. Jacob could easily get injured. I love him but those knee injuries are gonna be a real problem. He's an ace on the ice. The injuries are really concerning. Also it just bugs me how people right off a trade as a "fleecing" when it's one of the deepest drafts we have seen and the Yotes have some decent prospects that would make them much better.

'23 draft picks are going for HUGE value

Pierre the goat, now the Sens have to make the playoffs which is still a really hard task but we pray

At the same time... korpisalo would have been a dream for their goaltending situation

Arizona refused to retain any salary or take any cap dumps in return. That’s why he went for so little.

Love the content, keep it up Johnny

as a coyotes fan the one thing that frustrates me the most is other coyotes fans trying to make this deal sound good. yeah in the context of a rebuild it’s fine getting picks but holy shit we got absolutely no notable value out of this very valuable player.

I'm mad as heck he didn't end up in Buffalo for such a decent price!

Ottawa will be a real player next season this is a young, talented group that is on the rise.

for that trade only to bring in what it did. I can’t believe no other team jumped on it. Az really f$cking their team this season. Some of these moves are mind boggling. Hopefully he doesn’t continue to have a injury prone career, he is what only 24 and has been hurt a lot. I seen he had a scary moment with the boards in his first game as a Sen

3 picks! I'd hardly call that a bad deal. A rebuild with 3 picks is better than going nowhere with JC!

Chychrun's been on the trade block longer than many marriages

As a Senators fan, this is exciting!

Hilarious commentary, man! Dorion is a beast.

it seems like a good trade but Jacob does have a history of a lot of injuries, and is he a team player or why has he been on the market for 2 years, the talent is there, what is first round pick top 5 protected mean... the good thing is that they didnt give what Arizona had been asking, last year they traded their top 7 pick, and now again first round, so I hope its worth it, Debrinkt and Jacob probably only be here 2 years, so they are going short term, but its exciting.

Honestly they aren't that bad. Ottawa has a few good years coming

Great trade and about time. Even if they don't make the playoffs this year or make it and don't go far, they will be locked and loaded for next year.

damn really wanted him on the leafs, grats sens

he is a liability... he is injury prone. So the deal makes sense

Sens finally address the defence and land a whopper on cheap bait. Huuuge win for Ottawa. Their defence completely changes and guys slot properly. This is a perfect add at a bargin. Sens fans must be over the moon. Also a shot in the arm for their playoff hopes. Going to be powerhouse in the near future.

Dorion is a genius. As a fan Thank You.

This is so amazing lmao. reminds me of when ottawa fleeced chicago for debrincat

The Yotes probably wanted to wait until the last minute to see who was more towards the bottom of the standings so they could have a better chance at a top 5 pick. Al

chycrun wanted to go to ottawa. the yotes were shopping him around the moon. eventually pierre moved the right pieces to have room and money for him. the yotes weren't getting any takers on their moon proposals and the suitors gave up trying and went elsewhere for the pieces they need. now there was just pierre with the spot and the yotes were now in desperation mode. whether it was the best propsal in the last two years is irrelevant. this was now the only offer with a day left until the deadline. they were not going to hold him another year. in the end, everyone got mostly what they wanted. chychrun wanted to be in ottawa, ottawa wanted a puck moving D, and arizona wanted a bunch of picks, and chychrun off the books... did arizona get all they wanted? no. but that's not ottawa's fault.

Coyotes are that one team in franchise mode that always has the top 5 pick and never improves

Yotes fans will always love Chych. He will be missed.

Arizona having a fire sale. Perpetually in rebuild mode. 🙄

Dorion just saved his job with new ownership

I wanna see the Sens make the playoffs and take out Boston

How did the Canucks pay more BTW? Chychrun is a good player, but unfortunately he is a left handed shot which is pretty common .

ottawa needs more defence trades to improve their lineup

That goal of his on Saturday night was sick!!!

Oilers should have added him too for that

The most fleeciest fleece I've ever seen. As a Sens fan, I am happy.

Chychrun miss 17 to 25 games every year…

Seeing the deal, all I have is one thought. The F*ck is wrong with Rob Blake? He very clearly hit the panic button and traded for Vladislav Gavrikov. They probably could've done a much smaller trade for Joonas Korpisalo and still been able to get Chychrun, especially for this steal of a deal. He definitively lost the game of chicken with Arizona's GM, and this deal tells me that it was a game both GMs lost in the end. Arizona could have gotten much better from the Kings, and Blake just needed to wait another day to get Chychrun to LA. What a shanda.

Good trade if he can stay healthy.

The Race for the bottom is more interesting than the playoff races.

Great VIDEO. Keep it UP.

Ottawa is taking on 100% of the cap hit, that's why they got him.

The Sens are still in it, fed us poor Wings our lunch two nights in a row. Wish you guys the best even if I would really like to punch Tkachuck in the face.

What about Kadri?

This is actually a terrible trade that will haunt the Sens.

Arizona got fleeced on this trade, terrible GM. They got worse immediately, and not much chance at even getting better in the future.

Only like to see the Sens lose when they play my team. Great deal!

You're telling me Chychrun is only worth 3 picks? Bruh what a steal

GO SENS GO!!

The ONLY reason the Sens got Chychrun is because AZ overestimated his worth and none of the legit teams took the bait on the high price. Sens will take the deal and run for sure, but don’t get overly excited. While he is a good puck moving defensemen,,,,he is made out of balsa wood.

Arizona was running out of trade partners.

Huge spite trade imo, Yotes couldn't get their high priced package from LA so they send him east

Hopefully they can extend him and he is not just a rental

sens 4 pt back of nyi with 3 g in hand

GMPD IS A LEGEND. WELCOME HOME.

Cool,cool.Ottawa does still need another right shot d man that's young.With the Sens only having 2 right shots in the line up doesnt help matters.Zub and Hamonic are the only right shots now if one goes down it makes it difficult. There is Dumba in Minny,Klingberg in Annaheim and Myers in Vancouver. A move with Norris included. Shane Pinto can be the second line center,Tim Stuzle Brady and Alex Debrincat top line.

I still don't understand why would Coyotes trade Chychrun, wouldn't his contract be perfect for rebuild?

I am speechless...

they should have picked KK instead of Tkachuk. imagine where they would be now!!

ahahaha... he said "if your a fan of the yotes" 🤣

Sabres gm failed horribly, this is so much less than what buff could of easily offered

So I guess nobody wanted Chychrun? This is weird.

Go Sens!!

Can not belive that a first round, and two 2nd round pick for Chychrun. LA couldve done that and kept Quick. Any other team couldve done that easily with more value. Arizona is horrible

They got debrincat for less than free.

Jacob finally gets to eject out of that pathetic excuse for a franchise in AZ... Good Luck in AZ Bedard!

Playoff bound!

a yotes blunder? you dont say!

All 18 Coyotes fans are furious.

AWESOME - WHAM >>>>>>>>>>>>>> THIS IS UNREAL ............ If they make the Playoffs .. watch out ..... What a 'steal of a pickup.....A lot of Team missed the BOAT ?

Go Canada teams!

that shit at the start was so funny lmao "were a team"

Arizona got frickin Sensd

Les costly than Ekholm’s one.

There MUST have been naked pictures involved. This is utter lunacy.

I'm a sens fan very disappointed what a waste time to get excited for next year I suppose

We're a team.
