LeBrun: Chiarot likely to be dealt and return a 1st round pick

[Qwijibo]

If he's in your top 4 you aren't a contender

If you say so.

 

[jetsforever]

That would be highway robbery but if it happens hopefully some team I don't like is the sucker.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I mean... he had a very good playoffs... that was sort of my point. I get it though, tough to evaluate players in the playoffs as a Leafs fan. Don't really know what good ones look like.

Nasty, but I like it...

He’s played top 4 minutes on one team that went to an WCF and top pair on another that went to a cup final.

But don’t let that stop you from having takes on players you know nothing about. You will fit in well around here.

 

[Canadienna]

If he's in your top 4 you aren't a contender

What if he's the most used skater on one of two teams that went to the finals just a few months ago?

Still not a top4 D lol?

Marek, Friedman, Lebrun all anticipating at least a 1st round pick but sure it would be highway robbery

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

For Chiarot I see either Minnesota, Calgary or Anaheim.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

And he was a -16 on that Stanley Cup Finals team.

And Erik Gustafsson was + 3 during the playoffs.

That +/- stat is so useful...

 

[Stuzchuk]

he's actually a solid defensive DMan... I was expecting 2nd+3rd but 1st seems about fair

 

[montreal]

Trading a 1st for a bottom pairing D seems like a great way to lose your job

well on HF where many think they know so much but in reality they don't know the difference between their ass or a hole in the ground.

Chiarot was very good in the playoffs, if he's with the right partner, no reason why he can't be again. I don't really care as long as the Habs get something decent for him.

 

[frederixx]

He was well worth it last playoffs. He's one mean mf. Just the kind of dman you want on your team for the tougher times.

That's all I needed to know to measure your hockey knowledge.

If you want to pump up by saying a guy played 20+ minutes on a Cups Final team, then you have to acknowledge that he was outscored badly for the majority of the year on that Cup Final team.

Comparing 16 games to 41 games is so useful.

 

[Draft]

He's exactly the type of player I'd pick up before the playoffs as a rental. Fits in anywhere, brings loads of intangibles, cheap contract, lots of experience, very gritty/physical, and doesn't disrupt the top end of your team. He complements what got you there and requires no maintenance to keep your team running if there are injuries. He's not a game breaker, but he is a perfect add for an already competitive team.

 

[CapSpace]

Highway robbery if they do, the dude is awful.

He's not. He already has 5 goals on our putrid shit team and he is solid.

I usually like your post, but to use +/- to measure the usefulness of a player?

Lazy.

Edmunson finished the season with a +28 and yet braindead dumb plays by him in the SCF led to two goals. regular season doesn't mean anything to GMs

The Habs won 24 of 56 games last season. In any other season they wouldn't have even sniffed the playoffs. Go ahead and pretend they were a good team though

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

poor people from the main board thinking those kinds of def at 50% retention dont get a late first pick.
It happen every single years.

free first pick for us

 

[Baksfamous112]

Easy to say this now. March 21st is going to come and go and Chiarot for a 1st will not happen.

I’d be willing to be real money that he does. What do you say?

They beat Toronto, Winnipeg and Vegas on their way to their SC appearance. My bet is yes, they were good enough, not just good enough to win the cup.

Not the same roster and they also got hit by COVID and played 25 games in like 42 games, without being able to practice and suffering injures (which goes hand in hand). They got a week off before the playoffs. You can't fluke three rounds.

 

[Gravity]

The counter point to that line of reasoning is that's a lot of mileage and wear and tear and Chiarot also doesn't come with Price, Weber, Danault.

He's playing without all 3 this season and has been our best defenseman alongside Romanov.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

He's a solid D. People who think he sucks or isn't a legit top 4 just don't know this game.

He's worth at the very least a 2nd round pick. I'll be very glad if we get a first.

 

[oilexport]

I think our late 1st might work from edmonton. We need a lumber jack, real bad our our blue line. We need a goalie too ( not from mtl) so our first might get used up there thou...

 

[Fogelhund]

Certainly a 50% retained Chiarot is going to return something nice to the Habs. Maybe a 1st, maybe a useful roster player with some term, or prospect and a lesser pick, that combined has similar value.
