Coyotes not planning to loan Chychrun, Crouse to Team Canada

Team Canada should not count on adding a couple Arizona Coyotes to the 2017 World Junior Championship roster.

General manager John Chakya is not planning on loaning defenseman Jakob Chychrun or forward Lawson Crouse to the national team, according to Sarah McLellan of azcentral sports.

This pronouncement comes as Chychrun has sat as a healthy scratch in five of Arizona's past seven games. Crouse, meanwhile, has recorded one goal in 17 games.

Coyotes prospects Dylan Strome and Nick Merkley were among the 32 players invited to Canada's selection camp.
