I'm not opposed to the NSH, but I doubt it actually happens. Not because of value or anything, because I think the value is pretty fair, it's more how Chychrun plays, being more offensively minded. NSH already has a lot of offensively minded defenseman both now and upcoming and the team needs more defensively minded defenseman, as the departure of Ekholm over the course of this year has shown.
That said, with Ufko having just signed his ELC nd his coach stating during NCAA broadcast of the NCAA tournament "he's the best player they've had since Cale Makar..." I think having a right side of Chychrun + Ufko in the top 4 could be really strong, especially with Molendyk coming up as well. NSH would need work on their defensive game to make it work.
