Trading for Chychrun doesn't make any sense for Columbus. Like you said they would likely have to give up one of their picks this year (likely the higher one) & one of (Johnson/Marchenko/Sillinger/Boqvist) + potentially something else. A reason why Chychrun has such a high price is because of his contract, he gets paid like a #3 defenseman which makes him extremely valuable to contending teams. Columbus at the moment isn't a playoff team and adding Chychrun alone won't push them over the edge. Unless Columbus feels by trading for him now, they can add some more pieces in future (whether it's through trades, free agency or prospects) that push them into playoff contention in the next year or two.
