I know how tall his brother is, you've said that several times by now.
You think Cholowski is better right now? Ok, well I think you would be in the minority there. Fabbro has probably 25 lbs on him, he is playing top pair on Canada for a reason. Better suited right now to face 18-19 year old players. I understand that Chychrun fell, but Fabbro rose because of his WJC performance.
Though I agree with you, all that really matters is who develops more at the end of the day. And that is still to be determined.
Not too many people have seen them play head to head all year. I have been told Cholo is better by someone I trust, who has seen it first hand. We do not know who will be Canada's top pair as the team is not picked, he may well be. I watched those recent games and his play was nothing but average on a losing team.
Canada usually picks players based on the past performances. That team he was on was not the World Junior Championship team but the Under 18 team, that's a bit different. He peaked earlier on a stacked Penticton team which helped his case.
This era does not have a Doughty, Seabrook, Keith playing in major junior so the door is wide open. Shows with how they did last year placing 6th in the Worlds and not winning one game in this recent showcase. Sure he is talented and he will be good for BU and the preds but forget him, Cholo is the Wings guy.
Like I said Cholo ouplayed him in the playoffs when it mattered and out produced him. Lets see in a few years when Cholo gets bigger, Fabbro is 6 feet and 189lbs, Cholo is 6 feet and 170lbs thats 19 lbs difference according to Hockey DB. The average NHL deeman is 6'2 and 209. I hedge my bet on the guy that is a late riser. Its a wait and see game and will be played out over 2 to 4 years. Skill wise I would not worry about the difference, size wise it will even out or be better.
