This could lead to a trade for the Boston Bruins who are interested in the defenseman.
GM Don Sweeney and the Bruins have been connected to Chychrun for quite sometime. Now could be a great time to add him, while they have plenty of cap space.
Doing this would also make letting left-handed defenseman Matt Grzelcyk and Derek Forbort walk during the offseason.
Chychrun played 82 games with the Ottawa Senators during the 2023-2024 NHL season.
He posted 41 points( 14 G, 27 A) with a plus/minus of -30.
Per CapFriendly, Chychrun's cap hit for the 2023-2024 season, was $4.6 Million AAV, with a M-NTC and a signing bonus of $1 Million, signed in 2019-2020, with the Coyotes GM John Chayka tendering the offer.
