Jakob Chychrun is another in a long line ex-NHL offspring who are looking to make their mark in the NHL. Jakob’s father, Jeff Chychrun, played 262 games with Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Edmonton in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Not only that, Jakob’s uncle is Luke Richardson, a veteran defender of over 1400 NHL games.
Where as his father and uncle were known more as a bruising enforcing type of players, Jakob is more of a two-way defender who plays with a physical edge. This all around style would be a huge asset to the Canadiens prospect ranks.
