OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators traded Jakob Chychrun to the Washington Capitals for fellow defenceman Nick Jensen and a third-round pick in the 2026 NHL draft Monday.
The Senators gave up a lot to get Chychrun in March 2023, sending a conditional first-rounder that June, a conditional second-rounder in 2024, and a second-round selection in 2026 to the Arizona Coyotes.
The 26-year-old, who was dealt just as the NHL's free-agent market opened on Canada Day, had 14 goals and 41 points in 82 games with Ottawa last season. Chychrun, who is from Boca Raton, Fla., but had strong family ties to the nation's capital, put up 76 goals and 216 points in 467 regular-season games with the Coyotes and Senators.
He has one year left on a contract that carries a US$4.6 annual average value before potentially hitting unrestricted free agency next summer.The Rogers, Minn., product has 19 goals and 134 points in 562 career games split between Washington and the Detroit Red Wings.
