COMMENTARY
It seems all but inevitable that Jakob Chychrun will be donning a new sweater within the next few weeks.
The Coyotes defenseman’s name has been involved in trade whispers across the league for years now. But with Arizona setting its sights on Connor Bedard in the 2023 NHL Draft, Chychrun’s time in the desert seems to be nearing its end.
After scratching Chychrun on Saturday for “trade related reasons”, the Coyotes seem ready to sit their 24-year-old star until a trade can be struck.
And based on rumblings from multiple NHL insiders, Don Sweeney and the Bruins stand at the forefront among the many suitors vying for the minutes-eating blueliner’s services.
