-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Quote Defenceman Jakob Chychrun has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Arizona Coyotes, the team announced Saturday. Chychrun was taken 16th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft after playing two seasons with the Sarnia Sting of the OHL. “It’s an honour to sign with the Coyotes,” Chychrun said in a statement released by the team. “I’m the first to understand that there’s still a lot of work ahead of me, but this is an absolute dream come true to sign my first NHL contract.” He had 11 goals and 38 assists in 62 games for the Sting last year. The 18-year-old was once considered one of the top-five prospects of his draft class, but his stock fell over the year as questions arose over his potential upside. The Coyotes acquired the pick used to select Chychrun from the Detroit Red Wings as part of the deal that sent Pavel Datsyuk's contract to Arizona. “We are very pleased to sign Jakob to an entry-level contract,” said Coyotes general manager John Chayka. “Jakob is a highly-skilled player with an all-around game. He has a great work ethic and is very determined. "We look forward to watching him continue to develop this season.” http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/jakob-chychrun-signs-entry-level-deal-coyotes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logic Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Could end up being steal of the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 How many players have dropped in the draft, in past years, that have went on to prove the other GM's wrong.. off the top of my head, Filip Forsberg, We took a chance on Shinkaruk, Schroeder and that didn't turn out. When DET is willing to pass on a player it says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'm still surprised he fell as far as he did, could wind up being huge for the Coyotes down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Deep draft this year, every team in the top 10 got a really good player. Too difficult to say which players will be great, Chychrun could be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pick Arizona used to draft Jakob was acquired from Detroit, maybe that's where the confusion lies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Avery Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Steal. He'll be an NHL player for sure, might not be a top 2 guy, but definitely a guy that can be very helpful to Arizona in the future... unless they get sold to Quebec or Seattle. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
