For years, Jakob Chychrun has been linked to the Los Angeles Kings in some form or fashion.
His father, Jeff, played 26 games for the Kings in 1991-92. Years later, when Jakob became a pro, his name kept popping up as a potential trade target for Los Angeles. The connection was never more intense than in the Winter and Spring of 2023 when a trade between LA and Arizona seemed imminent.
Sounding like a Jakob Chychrun @LAKings @ArizonaCoyotes trade centered around 2021 8th overall pick Brandt Clarke. #RealKyperandBourne

Lots of smoke connecting #LAKings with Jakob Chychrun, but no confirmed fire yet.
