A goalie headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame and a captain headed to his team’s Hall of Fame are featured on TSN’s first Trade Bait board less than six weeks from the March 21 trade deadline.
But it’s a 23-year-old defenceman, not Chicago’s Marc-Andre Fleury or Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux, who heads up the list.
The Arizona Coyotes’ 6-foot-2, 220-pound blueliner Jakob Chychrun is No. 1.
Chychrun is in his sixth season with Arizona and has three years left on his contract at a team-friendly $4.6-million AAV.
There will be no shortage of suitors calling GM Bill Armstrong, whose Coyotes are well represented on the list, including one of the most enviable assets of all at No. 10: cap space.
