That trade has happened as he has been dealt to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Nick Jensen and a 2026 3rd round pick.
It was obvious from the get-go that chicken did not want to be in Ottawa and would be looking for a trade. Should one become available. The Washington Capitals get a young puck moving defender who can provide offence from the blue line.
Washington on the other hand, doesn't give up a whole lot to both through blue line 2026 3rd and Nick Jensen Is a more than reasonable acquisition price.
I think this is fair value And a place in Washington where Chychrun Is able to grow and play with young defenders who don't necessarily have too much structure which could benefit him greatly, especially playing under a newer head coach.
