Jakob Chychrun is an Ottawa Senator

For a long time, rumors surrounding Jakob Chychrun wanting out of the dessert have been at the forefront of media headlines. Chychrun was amongst the top of trade bait board throughout the entire season, until Pierre Dorion finally decided to pull the trigger on acquiring a top-4 defenseman. Dorion was able to acquire the best player available on the market for a very very low price.

The conditions of this trade are as follows;

*  Top 5 protected. If the condition is met, the pick becomes an unprotected 2024 1st round.

** If OTT makes it to the 2023 Eastern Conference Final, the pick becomes a 2024 1st round top 10 protected. If the pick is top 10, the pick becomes OTT 2025 1st round (unprotected)

Basically the Sens acquired someone capable of being a number one defenseman for the low price of three draft picks. The first will most likely be in the 15-20 range as the Ottawa Senators have not yet been mathematically eliminated from playoff-contention.

Conclusion

As I’ve come to learn, Pierre Dorion has made a LOT of trades during his time as GM. He’s been described as an extremely aggressive general manager who is not afraid to make moves. All these trades listed have been outsanding for him so far, and I can’t wait to see how they continue to benefit the Senators down the road.
