"Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun was all the rage on Twitter this past weekend. According to amateur sleuths, he had scrubbed all reference of his current team from his social media accounts during the All-Star break. He had recently followed a bunch of Toronto Maple Leafs players. He had recently followed a bunch of Boston Bruins. He had recently followed a bunch of Edmonton Oilers. Who knows, maybe he even followed a bunch of KHL players.
I already know what you're going to ask me, he said.
Chychrun didn't scrub the Coyotes from his social media accounts during the All-Star break. He did that at the end of last season when he and everyone else thought he was going to be traded at the draft.
It's just that nobody noticed, he said, laughing.
By the way, there are still very prevalent photos of Chychrun in a Coyotes uniform on his social media accounts. As for those players he supposedly just followed? He said he has followed them for a long time. That's no surprise. The NHL brotherhood is a web of relationships."
