Market heating up on Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun

For over a year now, Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun has been viewed as a likely trade candidate, though it appears now that the market is really beginning to heat up around him.

TSN's Darren Dreger said on Thursday that the market is indeed intensifying around the 24-year-old, which doesn't come as a major surprise given that he let it be known roughly a week ago that he would like to be moved to a more competitive team. Despite his struggles in 2021-22, it is expected he will command a large haul.

Amongst the interested teams in Chychrun at the moment are the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, Los Angeles Kings, and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Though the asking price has reportedly lowered in recent months, the Coyotes are still hoping to receive a first-round pick and prospect(s) in return.
