Keep all 4 of our main dmen and fill out the two RD spots
Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-X
Chychrun-X
Getting Demelo and trading for someone competent like a Tvr solves the problem too while making sure we have someone elite on the ice always. That being said I would consider trading Chychrun if he wants a stupid number for his extension
Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Demelo
Chychrun-TVR
That would be a luxury.
There are diminishing returns to having Chabot and Chychrun on the left side. Additionally, as Sanderson grows, he might eat up more minutes. Sanderson can play in all situations, and both Chychrun and Chabot play similar roles (with Chabot already being leaned on more). It doesn't make sense to pay 8M each to two LHD who play similar roles to each other.
We should trade Chychrun to try recoup as much of the assets we gave up as possible. We are going to need a goalie, a top 4 RHD, and a scoring winger to replace Tarasenko. With how few assets we have, keeping Chychrun is going to make it difficult to fill those roles. We already have seen that Chychrun and Chabot is not ideal on their offside.
