Jensen will fit in better with the team (Ottawa needs right handed D). Chychrun got points, but was a liability in his own end last season. Chychrun gets a lot of points but it doesn't matter if he's letting just as many get by him. Ottawa's biggest problem is keeping pucks out of the net. So adding Ullmark is huge. I think Chychrun can thrive in Washington, he just unfortunately wasn't the type of Defenceman Ottawa needed when they already have Sanderson and Chabot. The return was less than we were hoping, but as a Sens fan knowing a trade was bound to happen, i'm fine with the return.
The Hurricanes got nearly as much for Jake Guentzel’s signing rights as the Senators got for Chychrun. Buy high & sell low. That’s how it works in Ottawa.
When you've been part of arguably the two most disorganized franchises in the NHL (Arizona and Ottawa), I'll give some sympathy for Chychrun being in the rumor mill

It’s a special kind of dumb to talk about being annoyed by trade rumors when it’s the exact kind of thing people tune in for.
Caps fans LOVE this Chiki trade!
