As you yourself point out, Los Angeles is weak at LD, which is why they're so interested in Chychrun. The only two NHL-quality LDs under contract for next season are Anderson and Bjornfot, so it makes little sense for LA to send Arizona one of them back in a Chychrun trade. If we include any defenseman in a deal with the Coyotes, it will probably be one of Sean Walker, Helge Grans or Jordan Spence.
Arizona currently has only 2 -- two! -- forwards under contract for next season plus the moribund Andrew Ladd (who will cost them a draft pick if he does play), so I can see them getting some warm NHL bodies in addition to prospects from us.
