The trading period for this National Hockey League season is over, with a lot of bigger names getting to play in new places, there was one name in Arizona that took 18 months for a deal to finally happen. Yes, I'm talking about Jakob Chychrun.
While it's admirable Armstrong wants to do right by his players, Chychrun not wanting to go somewhere when he doesn't have a no trade clause means nothing, you get the best value any way you can. Plain and simple.
If the best trade option was at the draft, you make that trade every time, by not making the trade back then, Arizona backed themselves into a corner. Having to settle with what Ottawa was offering.
