Someone should make an Ottawa Senators themed GPT called Thomas Chatbot
From Thomas ChatGPTbot:

Thomas Chabot is a professional ice hockey player known for his skill as a defenseman. As with any player, there are aspects of his game that are both strengths and weaknesses. Let's delve into what makes him a good and a potentially bad hockey player:

**Strengths:**

1. **Skating**: Chabot possesses excellent skating ability, which is crucial for a defenseman. He can quickly join the rush offensively and retreat defensively.

2. **Offensive Skills**: One of Chabot's standout qualities is his offensive prowess from the blue line. He has a strong ability to move the puck effectively, contributing to his team's offensive plays and often creating scoring opportunities.

3. **Vision and Passing**: Chabot has excellent vision on the ice and can make precise passes to set up his teammates. This skill is vital for transitioning from defense to offense efficiently.

4. **Puck Handling**: He's adept at handling the puck under pressure, which allows him to navigate through opponents and maintain possession.

5. **Power Play Quarterback**: Chabot often quarterbacks the power play, utilizing his offensive skills to create scoring chances for his team.

**Weaknesses:**

1. **Defensive Positioning**: While Chabot is strong offensively, there are times when his defensive positioning can be suspect. He occasionally gets caught out of position, leading to scoring opportunities for the opposing team.

2. **Physicality**: Chabot's game is more finesse-oriented rather than physical. While he's not afraid to engage physically, he may struggle against bigger, more physical opponents in board battles and in front of the net.

3. **Shot Selection**: Although Chabot has a good shot from the point, sometimes his shot selection can be questionable. He may opt for low-percentage shots instead of looking for better opportunities or passing to a teammate in a better position.

4. **Defensive Awareness**: There are instances where Chabot's defensive awareness may be lacking, leading to missed assignments or coverage breakdowns in his own zone.

5. **Endurance**: Chabot has played significant minutes for his team, which can sometimes lead to fatigue, affecting his overall performance, particularly late in games or during long stretches of play.

Overall, Thomas Chabot is a skilled defenseman with a strong offensive upside, but like any player, he has areas of his game that can be improved upon. As he continues to develop and gain experience, addressing these weaknesses will be key to solidifying his status as a top defenseman in the NHL.

Weakness: Decison making … most times 1 second to slow … that is the main problem I see. That leads to bad shot selection, bad positioning and all the other bad stuff. Reads the game to slow is a lack of hockey sense and IQ.

Chabot got drafted almost 10 years ago. He is what he is at this point.

That’s fair, but haven’t seen that since came back from last injury, in fact he’s been good at most of those listed.

I'll relay that to chatGPT 😂

Edit: Here's it's response!

Apologies for the error. Thomas Chabot was actually drafted in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, which means as of 2024, he has been in the NHL for approximately 8-9 years, depending on the specific date of this conversation. While he has certainly developed significantly since his draft year, there is always room for growth and improvement in a player's game, even after several years in the league. Players continue to refine their skills, adapt to changes in the game, and learn from their experiences throughout their careers.

Shut him down for the season, keep him away from the Worlds, have him play summer league and hopefully come into next season healthy and flying.
Chabot has a skinny/ small frame, leads to injuries
Definitely a factor. That plus lots and lots of TOI, lots of retrievals from the corners, and a long history of playing through minor injuries while doing it.

He usually plays 60 games per season
.... No he doesn't.

Before this year, the fewest games he has played in an 82 game season is 59.

Yr 1 - 76 of 82 games (don't think any games were lost to injury)
Yr 2 - 70 of 82 games
Yr 3 - 71 of 71 games
Yr 4 - 49 of 56 games (likely ends up with 70-75 games played)
Yr 5 - 59 of 82 games
Yr 6 - 68 of 82 games (8 of which came at the end of the year, mostly with us out of contention)
Yr 7 - 44 in 71 (so far)

His "usual" season is much closer to 70 games than 60 when you account for global events (which, at least to this point, I have not seen anyone blame Thomas Chabot for).

Lassi T has been a bust and a colossal disappointment. Hard pass.
I was thinking about that Duchene trade yesterday. I think if you re-do that trade 1000 times, it ends up amazingly well.

There was a clearly defined top 18 and now, in retrospect, that top 18 was spot on. If Vegas didn't totally tank to end that year, or if CLB lost another game or two and MTL won another game or two, Columbus' pick is at worst 18th and we get Harley.
He does ( in the NHL)
As usual, access to objective information has failed to prevent you from being objectively wrong. Always a pleasure, never a chore Alex.
