Goes from being traded for Nick Jensen to signing a $72mil contract. Crazy what a year can do.

Ottawa was strangely desperate to get rid of him. It's not like he had an awful season in Ottawa. He was largely victimized by their bad goaltending and overall inconsistent play.

Ottawa used him weirdly sure, but I'm also not sure he was ever a $9mil/legit 1D type defenceman anytime with Arizona either. Washington is making a pretty huge bet here. Especially on a almost 27-year old having career highs in shooting percentage and on-ice shooting percentage.

With the way the cap is going up, we probably need to revise what we think of as a $9M defender. It's ultimately going to be closer to what we think of as a $6M-$7M guy, which is probably right around where he was in Arizona when healthy.

Well I don't completely disagree but $9mil on next years $95.5mil ceiling is about 9.5%, and that hasn't translated to a $6mil player since before Chychrun was even in the league so I think that range is a little low.

Also I know everyone's super excited about these future cap projections but to some extent we've heard this stuff before and with everything currently happening in the world I'm a little more skeptical about them than I was a few months ago.
 
I've hardly seen him this year but that is an eyebrow raising term for a player like Chychrun who has been injured as much as he has.
