Chychrun was a healthy scratch for trade purposes before Saturday&#8217;s game against the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blues\/\" target=\"_self\"> St. Louis Blues<\/a>.

Arizona doesn&#8217;t want something bad to happen to its trade chip. The 24-year-old is sought after due to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capfriendly.com\/players\/jakob-chychrun\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contract being only $4.6 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Chychrun can play both defence positions and can contribute offence for his team. He&#8217;s got seven goals and 28 points in 36 games this season. His best season was when he had 18 goals and 41 points in the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n<p>The Coyotes know they have a player that can get them a nice return. Arizona is doing the right thing by keeping him out of the lineup. Hopefully, for Chychrun, he can get moved soon and get back on the ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main photo by: Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports We&#8217;ve got more NHL rumours to start your Sunday.
