Sheng’s Daily: Did Ducks Offer Gibson for Eichel? Is Chychrun Available?

John Hoven says Anaheim offered John Gibson to Buffalo for Jack Eichel — and the Sabres said no. (NHL Network Radio)

Craig Morgan shoots down rumor that Jacob Chychrun is available in a trade.

RE: the tweet that has now been deleted, I can confirm (I shouldn't have to) that Jakob Chychrun is not on the trade block. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been following the Coyotes. They want to build around him. https://t.co/ibryYovpbF
