Jakob Chychrun will make his season debut for the Arizona Coyotes next week, which could spur action on the trade market.
Trade rumours have long circled around the 24-year-old defenceman, but TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston reports interested teams want to see Chychrun on the ice again before making a deal with Arizona.
"It's been a year of talking about it but it's been seven-plus months since he's played a game," Johnston said on Insider Trading. "That's about to change on Monday night in Nashville when Arizona plays there. It's going to be one of those situations where we start monitoring the scouts list wherever the Coyotes are playing because Chychrun is someone who a lot of teams that have been in discussions with Arizona have said they want to see play."
