Player Discussion Thomas Chabot (D) Part 2

  • Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.
  • We are currently aware of "log in/security error" issues that are affecting some users. We apologize and ask for your patience as we try to get these issues fixed.
We need a RHD ainef
Add if you have to but get a RHD
For sure we need defensive help.

But Ottawa would essentially be getting Hertl in exchange of replacing Tarasenko and Kubalik. And SJ can use Chabot as a top pairing guy to continue getting veteran star pieces (and less term)

I would be interested if you can get 2m retained on Hertl's contract given his age and his no trade NMC protection. IF he'd waive to come here which I highly doubt. We need to look at teams with players we want that don't have NMCs.

Last year I was supportive of the Karlsson/Chabot proposals, but thought it was out there and not wise.

Not so sure it was that crazy now. I'd be willing to bet that EK plays out these last few years at a higher level than Chabot.

Chabot has too many turnovers for an 8M player it's that simple. He plays way too soft, he should be the odd man out of Sanderson and Chych on the left side.

I feel like Chabby has been playing really good lately. Looks like he's really benefiting from the new system.
He’s still up and down but some nights he looks excellent. Just a matter of whether he can ever find the consistency.

Who would have thought a coaching change would have helped this guy, and not a:

"GO OUT THERE N PLAY UR BEST SHINNY, BOYZ. ESPECIALLY U CHABBY, MAINTAIN 30 MINS OF IT. I LOVE YA"

Mentality.

His interview at the intermission was revealing. Claire asked him about Norris, and he said something along the lines of: "people don't know what it takes coming back from injury", and I think he meant it not only for Norris but also for himself. I expect him to play well the rest of the season, as long he stays healthy.
 
Chabot is +3 under Jacques Martin. First time in his career Chabot has ever been a + under any coach. 15 points in 23 games with Martin.

So many fans wanted to see Chabot with a new coach and pretty good results so far between Chabot + Martin
 
I question his Hockey IQ and decision making (it's way to slow many times and often he makes the bad decision out of three options he had). That turnover against Dallas shows was exactly what I mean (on the lonely goal for the Stars). With under 15 seconds to play in the first period he can do a flip dump out of the zone and the period is over with a 1-0 lead. That turnovers happened way too much. Hope JM can fix it, but his lack of physicality and poise it’s a problem for a 8 million dollar man. I saw nearly every game since he was drafted and he regressed from season to season. I really hope he proofs me wrong but this is how I see TC72.
 
Finally playing a lot better. Hard to choose between him chychrun. Makes you question if we have to.
