Sorry. Chychrun was already traded to the Leafs before the dispersal draft. 
EDIT: Random question.
If a dispersal draft actually happened and the team had made a trade before it where they retained salary, what would happen with that? Would the full salary (CAP space is what I mean moreso) go back to the team that now has the player?

My limited understanding here is that the team with the player would be responsible for their entire salary, but likely the cap hit would be adjusted pursuant to the agreed upon retention.
The way it works today is that if a player is traded from Team 1 to Team 2, and Team 1 agrees to retain $1m of that player's salary, Team 2 pays the player in full, and then at the end of the season Team 1 remits to Team 2 the owed amount.
In some ways this makes sense - you wouldn't pay up front because a player with retained salary can be traded at any point, and then the owed amount from Team 1 would end up moving to different teams. Other considerations like IR payments from insurance would likely deduct from the amount Team 1 owes, and so on (because technically that $1m is merely a percentage, not a fixed amount).
Unless some team were to draft the retained cap hit, which seems like a peculiar thing to do, I'd imagine that the retained amount would be an ether transaction.
