On Sunday afternoon, multiple sources reported that Jakob Chychrun would find a new home in Los Angeles and that Kings’ first-round pick Brandt Clarke would move the other way to the Coyotes. The trade was first reported by former NHL player Nick Kypreos.

However, later in the day, things got complicated when multiple sources said that the Kings organization informed Clarke that he would not be traded for the Coyotes defender.

NHL Twitter went bonkers over the surprising turn of events and some picked out moments from Super Bowl LVIII to better express the current situation of the Chychrun trade talks.

"I appreciate hockey twitter’s dedication to demanding a Jakob Chychrun answer mid Super Bowl." tweeted CarrlynBathe
"The year is 2038. Jakob Chychrun is still with the #Yotes, and they're raising his No. 6 tarp up to the rafters at Mullett Arena." tweeted thegoldenmuzzy
"Rihanna is gonna announce the Chychrun trade during her halftime performance" tweetd QNasty2point0
"Holy s**t I just got banned from the Coyotes discord for simply talking to them about Chychrun. Their admin are as weak as their team. Sorry." tweeted mikefromearth
"BREAKING I have heard from multiple sources that Arizona Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong has made a deal that is sending Jakob Chychrun + cash considerations to the Boston Pizza restaurant in exchange for multiple large size pepperoni pizzas. Chychrun is on his way to Boston." tweeted StuffyNose69_YT

Jakob Chychrun current season with the Arizona Coyotes

Twenty-four-year-old Chychrun is a hot commodity in the trade market as he has shown great defensive prowess throughout the season. He has 27 points this season from seven goals and 20 assists.

Chyrchrun was healthy to play in the Coyotes' game against the St. Louis Blues but he was a healthy scratch due to "trade related reasons."

The Kings are not the only team involved in the Chychrun sweepstakes. The Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers have all been rumored to be all in on the big burly defenseman.

With the trade deadline nearing, it will be interesting to see which team Chychrun lands himself on. It depends on the value that the Coyotes are looking to get in return. It is safe to assume that the young defenseman will not play in the Coyotes threads anytime soon.
