With all the current talk about if the current defenseman are blocking our near ready prospects I'd thought I'd ask people's opinion on Declan Chisholm. In my eyes he has been an under the radar prospect that has grown his game to the point where he will either be a Jet next season or in the NHL someplace else, as he is now in the last year of his ELC.
In 2018 he was a 5th round selection after a 0.43 PPG season in junior. The Jets scouts must have seen something, as those are not necessarily the numbers that get you drafted. His D+1 season he posted a 0.72 PPG, followed by a 1.17 PPG in his final year of junior. Then off to the Moose where in his 1st season he had a 0.46 PPG, and then last season he was at 0.57 PPG and getting a bigger role. This season he appears in my eyes to be the best D-Man on the Moose and is a top pairing1.00 PPG player to start the season.
The kid skates and passes well and has decent NHL size at 6.1 and somewhere in the ballpark of 200 LBS.
