Value doesn't seem too off for Chychrun but I don't think he's a very good target for the Devils right now.
Chychrun's main selling point is top pairing talent at a very low cap hit.
That means that the team targeting him should be cap strapped and have an opening at LHD, as well as having a cup window spanning Chychrun's remaining three years.
The Devils have a ton of cap space, are not a contender now (and somewhat unclear when they will be), and doesn't have an immediate need for LHD improvement at LHD.
I also think that Chychrun is quite overrated and wouldn't want the Devils to trade for him anyway (certainly not the #2 pick), but that's beside the point.
I think the a better fit for a Chychrun trade would be the Blues as they imo are a top 10 team and will remain so for another 2-3 years, don't have too much cap to work with and could use an improvement at LHD.
