Three Canadian team have emerged as front runners. These are the Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators.
With the Oilers goaltending still not performing well, despite the bringing in of Jack Campbell, Chychrun could be an important defensive piece.
The Maple Leafs have never had the strongest defense, and that has been proven quickly this season. Chychrun would slot in on their top pair, and even out Morgan Rielly's unilaterally offensive game.
The Senators may not be a playoff team just yet, but they are clearly making the push in that direction. Chychrun's low cap-hit would make him an ideal target for their long term cap management.
The other two teams linked to Chychrun are the New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets.
