It's an interesting proposal. Canucks drafted Willander because they view him as a top pairing defenceman and a future partner for Hughes. He's practically untouchable, the only way I think they'd consider moving him is for a young top 4 D with term who they view as basically a further developed Willander who can partner with Hughes on the top pair now instead of having to wait 2-3 years. Chychrun, if they were able to work out an extension, could potentially fit the bill. The potential big hangup would be Chychrun being a lefty and Willander a righty, Tocchet doesn't like pairing same handed defenceman so I'm not sure Vancouver would want to partner Hughes and Chychrun together long-term.
