Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun will remain out of the lineup until his team can find a trade partner.
Chychrun has been on the trade block for the duration of the 2022-23 season and the Coyotes are looking to move him before the March 3 deadline. The 24-year-old has two years remaining on his contract at $4.6 million per season, but has made it clear he doesn’t want to remain with the Coyotes long-term.
It is widely reported that the Coyotes are expecting two first-round picks plus a top prospect in exchange for Chychrun, although it’s entirely possible this asking price is in flux as the deadline inches closer.
