It feels like we have been discussing the possibility of a Jakob Chychrun trade out of Arizona for nearly two years now.

The 24-year-old talked about the last…

The Senators had excessive expectations going into 2021-22, or no less than excessive by their requirements. After a powerful second half to the 2020-21 season, many anticipated the group to start out making some noise and contend for a playoff spot.
