According to Craig Morgan of Phoenix Sports there are 6 teams still trying for the services of Chychrun.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers, Los Angeles Kings, Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers are still interested in Chychrun, albeit I doubt all but one of those teams actually has the cap space to take him away from Florida.
The Coyotes have made it clear, Chychrun won't move unless it's for 2 firsts, and a second or a good prospect. For all the teams listed above except for the Ottawa Senators, they don't have the capital or assets they're comfortable parting with.
I can see one of three things happening: either, the Coyotes lower the asking price to allow competiting teams to negotiate a deal, Chychrun goes to Ottawa or, there's a 3 team deal that will allow cap relief for a contending team to bring him in.
Although it looks like Coyotes are serious on keeping him as part of their team because the asking price is not indicative of a team that wants to part with their star player.
