He asked to be played or traded about a year ago, he’s filled that physical bottom pairing role.Didn't he ask for a trade?
Height move actuallyDepth move.
If he wasn’t a giant would he ever have made the NHL with skill? Definitely notThought he would be a better player than he has shown to be

Someone has to have that job. The price is right.Why do the Jets keep bringing this guy back? I realize they drafted him awhile ago now and he's 'big', but that's about it.
They never play him, and when the does get into the lineup, the fans are clamoring for his removal. He's already asked for trade more than once. So clearly he doesn't want to be in Winnipeg.
But the Jets refuse to put him on waivers or even trade him. So every year, he spends more time in the press-box than on the ice. Baffling, really.
He would have been UFA at the end of this season. Jets got him to sign for an extra year...maybe hoping for 2nd coming of Ben Chiarot, who was a late bloomer.I believe this deal takes him to UFA status so he probably settled for that
NO, he's really big.Why do the Jets keep bringing this guy back? I realize they drafted him awhile ago now and he's 'big', but that's about it.

Yeah, I thought he had all the tools to be a star player. Turns out he has average skills and is a monster, ha ha.Thought he would be a better player than he has shown to be
What's interesting about this is he is (when you look at the analytics) terrible defensively and not terrible offensively. Like if the Jets played/developed him based on his skill set, we might have an okay bottom pairing guy.For years Jets fans bitched about this pick...I don't know how many times I heard Cholowski's name...But HF Jets fans love undersized skating defensemen, Enstrom, Niku, Johanneson and Heinola are just a few of them that have been lauded with accolades. Then you see big defenses winning in the playoffs...there's Desharnais in VCR now. Josh Brown replaced him. Edmunson went to L.A. Middleton is still in Minny...Schenn in Nashville. There's room for big d-men in the NHL, especially if they can physically overpower their opponents in 1-1 board battles on the PK, block some shots....Glad he is part of the team, probably the 2nd least popular Jet after Pionk. But still a part of winning over here...underrated outlet passer in my opinion, and still the heaviest shot on the defense.
