All right, we're back here to the hockey video cast with Dimitri Filipovich and Harmon Dial.

Harm, let's talk about Chikrin.

So he goes for a 2023 first, which is top five protected, Washington's 2024 second,

and a 2026 second down the road.

And there was a lot at play here.

There's a ton of context.

It's clearly important that was dictating this price, right?

It came out afterwards.

Elliot Freeman reported that the coyotes essentially had no interest in taking any dollars back, even if it was expiring for this deal, like to facilitate it.

They needed to do a deal like this, where they just take on futures that they don't have to pay for now

and just get off of Jacob Chicken's contract,

which in and of itself is such a sad way to think about this thing

because you're talking about a 25-year-old defender

who's in his prime, who's really good,

who's making half of what he probably should be on the open market,

and you're viewing it as like, this is a bit too pricey for us.

I think we need to cut some costs here.

Like, let's save the coyote's conversation for like a bit down the road here because

it's another whole separate issue.

But from the senator's perspective, I get the risk of, all right, if they miss the playoffs again,

this is two straight years where they trade a first for Alex de Brinket.
