Slavin is the only one on the defensive unit that is 100% being re-signed. Chychrun doesn't make anywhere near as much sense as Zub. Chatfield also shouldn't be anywhere near the top 4, I think he struggles as a bottom pairing defenseman as it is.
Something like
Slavin - Morrow
Nikishin - Zub
This would be a lot better. I get Zub likely isn't available, but there are other options. Or, just bring back Pesce, who is only a year older than Chatfield, and significantly better
