I think Mayfield has to go straight up for a 1st. I'd say a 2nd & a prospect might work but there's really no lining up between the two teams - Niemala & a 2nd would feel like an overpay, and TML's prospect pool gets shallow real quick after the top 4/5 guys.
As far as the Chych deal, it's not awful but it needs more. Swap Dermott in for Holl so you're giving them back a young roster player, and upgrade Villeneueve to someone in the Amirov/Abruzzese/Hirvonen tier. Arizona might ask for another 2/3ish pick, but I think giving them a 1st, one of your top 3 prospects, one of your next top 3, and a roster player is a good place to start. I would just be worried that another team with a deeper system would be able to match the same framework and have better players to offer.
