So we're hopping on this Erikson-Ek bandwagon, huh? Not sure I like him better than White, but I am cool with picking him.
Can someone add opinion on chabot? Is he a pretty safe #2? I just don't know much about him.
Edit... Pretty safe #2 18 year old is a silly statement. But how safe is the pick to get there?
“A strong passer who delivers pucks with good timing and accuracy…has the ability to read the play and pick-and-choose his spots…has a powerful stride that generates power but could improve the overall quickness in his feet…willing to join the offensive attack…handles the puck well…not a big point shot but gets it on net consistently…reads the play well in his own zone and defensively he has the size and reach to close off lanes…good transition defender that moves the puck up ice. (December 2014)â€
Future Considerations
“A silky, smooth skater, Chabot shows high potential as puck moving defensive prospect. He has the speed to join or lead the rush, and get back defensively. He has the edgework and agility to pivot quickly and cover large areas of the ice, or to walk the line and open up passing and shooting lanes. He is calm and composed with the puck, has good stickhandling ability and can make a strong pass either to start the transition, or set up a play from the blueline. His shot is decent, and he has good accuracy, but he could stand to add some more muscle, and make it even harder.Defensively he has good positioning and is willing to play a physical game in front of the net and in the corners.â€
Ben Kerr – Last Word On Sports
Cant believe noone has voted Zboril.. Hes consistently ranked higher than Kylington and Chabot.
I would hope the wings take him in this case but between the 2 everyone is voting for I'll go Chabot
