C'mon, from a body of work, Chychrun has done quite well defensively and doesn't seem like a risk from the defensive standpoint.
He may not put up gigantic pt numbers, but he will be a steady Dman.
Deangelo has his warts just like Chychrun, but I'll err on the side of caution with respect to a DT coached team that the player who can defend will get the nod over one who can't.

It comes down to what you think upside of Chychrun is. If you think he's going to develop into a 2D then the ranking makes sense. I don't however believe he has the level of hockey sense to be a 2D but if he simplifies his game to get some of the poor decisions ironed out that he will be a solid 4D who can play a physical 20 mins/night.
I view DeAngelo as more of a risk/reward player with an elite offensive skillset. He creates opportunity and our forwards are going to thrive with him feeding them the puck. Just a great pickup. He's a top 30-50 prospect in the entire league.

Trust me, I love Deangelo as a player that will drive possession and fit in well with our forwards moving forward...I just know that if he won't play D then he won't play.
And I do see Chychrun having #2/#3 upside, which is why I ranked him above Deangelo who I see as an upside of a #3/#4.

Voted DeAngelo
Just so much skill. Questions marks for sure, but ceiling is among the highest of any prospect in the system

This is a tough one... but ultimately went for Tony. Chychrun could easily have a tremendous bounce back season and become the top ranked defenseman in the CHL. Right now I'm voting for the previous winner of the that reward.

Not yet. I think DeAngelo wins the next one in a landslide. THEN it gets interesting.
I went Fischer. He just had too good a year at Windsor and I think the way he plays / his strengths make his transition to the NHL the easiest of the guys left.
