That's a huge red flag for me. Chychrun strikes me as the classic 'has all the tools, but we're waiting for him to put them all together" player. And those scare me.
Here are some more comments from scouts in the THN draft preview:
Q: What's an unteachable trait that can't be coached into a kid?
Botterill: Hockey sense, just the ability to read the game. It's something players find at a young age.
Bernhardt: Your hockey sense and feel for the game are inherent things you're not going to change in a hockey player.
Macdonald: A defenseman with questionable hockey sense has a hard time competing at the NHL level.

Weird thing about Chychrun is that he's a super mature guy. He was given an A halfway through his rookie year at 16 which is super rare. When you hear him talk he's like an adult, not an 18 year old kid.
