32 Thoughts: A lesson to learn

1. Friedman is an Insider, I am not

2. I don't think the Leafs are actually interested in Chiarot, it goes way against the grain of what Dubas has done in the past...which if you want to poke fun, yea maybe it's a good thing but Leafs have quite a few LD and Chiarot doesn't look nearly as good without Weber.

3. Tying the Leafs to as many things as possible leading up to the trade deadline day in hopes of bringing in more viewers/eyes/ears for the TDL show isn't anything new but we fall for it every year

Chiarot has foligno vibes all over him for me, hard pass especially for the supposed asking price.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Teams that are wondering , Chariot is useful in the playoffs since the pace is slower and heavier.
During regular season don't expect much.

The pace isn't slower in the playoffs. The amount of time a player has to make a decision with the puck decreases substantially

Fixed for you. Chiarot's speed is obviously a plus asset for him, which is partly what makes him effective in the playoffs.

What made him so good for the Habs last playoffs was his ability to constantly absorb hits to make a play on the puck. He can eat whatever hit the forecheckers throw at him and was really strong on 50/50 plays because of his speed and strength. Maybe he's better in the playoffs because he has less time to think

Habs also played a style where they allowed an enormous amount of low percentage shots, and very few high danger scoring chances, with Price required to stand on his head. So whoever pays the price on Chiarot may be disappointed if they don't deploy him in a similar way

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I would be fine with him as an addition if it is low cost. Absolutely f***ing not to any talk of a 1st+. Just don't do it.

 

[Larry Hanson]

I can't see where he would fit in on the Flames. Once again this is just Treliving kicking every tire and looking under every rock, I doubt the Flames are a likely destination.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Can't wait to see what Habs can bring in return for him. Time to say goodbye.

If the panthers got him I’d like them to pair him with Ekblad on the 1st in the playoffs, with Forsling-Weegar running a very strong 2nd pair (that was our top pairing last playoffs when Ekblad was injured). Ekblad and weber are fairly similar imo, could be wrong, but I think they’d pair well together

Is Denisenko available froM FLO?

Goes against what Dubas did in the past because what he has done in the pass(small offensive dmen) didn’t win him any playoff games. Not that I want to give up a first for him but he brings the nastiest and net clearing presence the leafs lack right now!

 

[violaswallet]

Is Denisenko available froM FLO?

For Chiarot, probably no. I'm guessing our late 1st in 2023 is the center piece...

 

[Dread Clawz]

Is Denisenko available froM FLO?

Yes, anybody but Lundell and Knight is available for the right piece.

Article just states thar Dubas pursued Benny as a Ufa, but money didn't work at that time.

 

[jaric1862]

Leafs are apparently looking for someone with term, doubt they pay a first for a rental . Maybe if the price drops (which it sounds like it won’t with all the teams interested).

he probably goes to the Blues or Panthers, whichever one doesn’t get Chychrun.

I don't doubt that the money didn't work at the time or there was interest at one point but since then, Leafs have a bit of a logjam of LD now...and let's be honest, is Chiarot better than Rielly or Muzzin? No. Can he play RD well? No. Do the Leafs have a RD as good as Shea Weber? I wish.

I think someone will add Chiarot in a bottom 4 role and potentially be happy with that addition...I think St.Louis is a good landing spot for him. I don't see Toronto as a good fit anymore.

Chiarot does bring that plus some offense just because of his skating.
As for small offensive dman , you can also have Wideman.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Please don't give up a first for him, Dubas. Learn from past mistakes like Foligno. These types of players are fools gold and only end up being justified if you actually win a cup.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Blues please do not. I understand our defense is a mess right now. But giving up a first is not going to end pretty.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It makes sense that the Leafs are interested because they need another D man, in fact I'd go as far as to say they need 2.

That being said don't pay a 1st there are better options

 

[Maitz]

Not necessarily for Chiarot but maybe Chiarot + we can add picks too. Wouldn’t mind a trade around the 1st in 2023 also

 

[KevSkillz4]

Chiarot and prospect or picks for Denisenko is a good price?

 

[violaswallet]

My guess is that we won’t trade an almost ready Denisenko for picks given where we are in the contending cycle but who knows!

 

[Dread Clawz]

That sounds fair.
