Two NHL regulars on the table if the Bruins want Jakob Chychrun
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun has been at the forefront of trade rumors since last season's trade deadline, and the Boston Bruins were heavily interested then.
This summer, the star defenseman made it clear that he wanted to be traded, and it appears as though the Coyotes are willing to grant his wish. As expected, several teams are linked to Chychrun, and reportedly the Bruins are one of them.
According to Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now, for the Bruins to acquire Chychrun, it could cost them at least two NHL regulars, defensemen Brandon Carlo and Matthew Grzelcyk. As per Murphy:
''I think depending on their health in the coming weeks or months, Grzelcyk or Carlo could be in play for a guy like Chychrun,'' one NHL executive told Boston Hockey Now Tuesday. ''Can you imagine a left side with � say they don't trade Grzelcyk � Lindholm, Chychrun and him down the left?''
Murphy went on to explain that the Bruins would be more interested in a right-handed defenseman like John Klingberg from the Anaheim Ducks.
Chychrun is having a good season on a bad Coyotes team. After missing the first 16 games of the season, the 24 year old has 25 points in 34 games.
