Can we also stop pretending Chychrun is an elite defender? He's a solid top 4 D and is still young, but at this point he's probably not going to be one of the top defenders in the game. Leafs should just trade Nylander for Hanifin.
I recognize that Chychrun plays on a terrible team and is still doing good but why any team trade for him an overpay if they don't absolutely need him. Teams without a need for a top 4 LD should either buy low or give a reasonable offer, not overpay. He only has 3 years left and will almost certainly test free agency if ARZ doesn't trade him.
