Value of: Ben Chiarot

[Nico Cauzuki]

Canadiens took a big hit losing Price,Weber,Danault and Tatar and i know its still early but i dont see the habs making the playoffs in the atlantic so with Chiarot becoming a free agent this summer i was wondering what hes value would be at ( we can retain 50% )

dont expect much offense from him but hes a good physical defensive dman

Right before the Deadline for a first. Perfect second pairing DD for the playoff. Clear the front net and back of the net really well and one of the best in the league for clearing front net presence.

3rd round pick at the deadline. That's the typical price/cost.

For a 2nd pairing dman rental? Savard got a 1st last year. Scandella got a 2nd (Chiarot is better). I'm sure I can find more but those are just off the top of my head.

 

[IIxGURUxII]

He's 2nd pair on Canadians .. 3rd on most teams out there .. 2nd right now .. late first at the dradline. With a B prospect going back ..

no way Chiarot is only worth a 3rd round pick,matter fact i would bet anything on him being worth more then that

 

[Gains]

He played over 25 minutes during our Finals run last year and was really steady the whole time. I think he goes for a first at the TDL.

Savard got a 1st because Tampa got him at 75% off his cap

Trade: Blue Jackets send David Savard to Lightning in 3-team trade

Maybe a 2nd would work but depends on how Chiarot performs this season. If he's good on a bad team then 2nd would be fair.

I disagree with your premise of the extra 25%, Detroit only got a 4th for that, if that extra 25% was so much of the value they would have gotten more than that.

Edit: that being said I think a 2nd + is likely fair

 

[LTIR]

I think 2nd would be par for Chiarot at deadline. +/- a longshot prospect depending upon who else hits the market and how he is playing.

From an Oilers perspective ,Holland spent a 4th on Green and another 4th on Kulikov. He will add someone similar for the run at deadline but would never give up a 1st for someone like Chiarot.

 

[Big Empty]

Honestly, I would be upset if my team gave up a 1st for Chiarot.

I think a 2nd + 4th/equivalent prospect is fair.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Of course all the Habs fans think he'll get a 1st

If my team dealt a 1st round pick for Chiarot I'd be livid. 30 years old, 0 offense, and underwhelming defense (imo)

So 2nd pair on a finals team? You know Chiariot was playing top pair on the jets run a few years ago. I get he’s a hab and we need to pretend he has no value but gms won’t see it that way

 

[SensFactor]

2nd at most for a contender.

I would say another way to look at it is he is second pair on a 1w-6L team as well. Lets not get crazy here he played with Weber on that pairing. Its not like he single handedly dragged the Habs to the finals.

 

[kerrabria]

Big, physical, defensively reliable LHD? I want him in Florida. I was impressed with his playoff performance last year despite knowing nothing about him.

How's his skating/mobility?

That is an extremely generous way of describing his role.

He was our 6th best dressed D-man who got dragged along by Dustin Byfuglien at his very best.

Yeah, when he's there and not out of position chasing around the puck carrier, and when he's not taking penalties

 

[Price is Wright]

I could see someone giving up a 2nd rounder for him and a team being very upset their GM paid a 2nd rounder for him.

This is probably the most accurate statement regarding his value.

He can skate just fine to a point it's almost a problem because once every few games he will think he's Bobby Orr and try to deke the puck into the zone by himself

Other than that I like him a lot. Much better than Savard IMO.

 

[jfhabs]

2nd is most likely the minimum, I think it's realistic to hope for a late 1st at the deadline. His deal is expiring+cheap (could even retain), he's shown he can have success in the playoffs playing against the other teams best players, defends teamates and plays physical.

 

[MXD]

A 2nd rounder is the minimum here. He's actually better than David Savard, who fetched a first (with huge retention) last, and the Canadiens will absolutely retain here.

 

[MXD]

Of course all the Habs fans think he'll get a 1st

If my team dealt a 1st round pick for Chiarot I'd be livid. 30 years old, 0 offense, and underwhelming defense (imo)

Again : he's better than Savard, who fetched a first. Marginally better, but still better. And of course the Habs will absolutely retain, why wouldn't they?

(I'm not saying he's worth a first : I'm saying he'll fetch a first or the equivalent.)

 

[bobholly39]

A lot of people are getting offended at the suggestion that he'd fetch a first at the deadline, don't seem to grasp that GMs have been known to overpay big time around TDL.

Is he worth a 1st? Nope. Would he land a 1st? Very possibly.

Will it happen? No - since Habs are making the playoffs and winning the cup this year. But that's a bit off topic..
