Any update on injury ??

He'll be back as soon as his 10 games are up

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He'll play against Columbus.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Babe. I'm not saying your opinions don't count, but you're often as wrong as the posters you aggressively belittle.

Off the top of my head: your pining to trade for superstar Josh Anderson. Man of 2 A in 19 games this season, at the tender age of 29.

“Babe”… is this a domestic on HFB? That would be a first

 

[R2010]

Team is so much better offensively with him in the lineup.

 

[DrEasy]

Team is so much better offensively with him in the lineup.

Even defensively; I know we get on him for making slow decisions with the puck, but his no-panic play also helps stabilize things in the D-zone.

 

[OD99]

He has the puck all the time.

Hopefully we can stop the talk of, "dumping him".

We need him. We also need Chychrun and Sandy to get it going again.

 

[Alex1234]

He was really good last night
Super engaged and driving offense

 

[Xspyrit]

He's elite in transition, it feels that people who want to dump him don't understand all parts of the game

JBD or Hamonic are better "defensively" than Chabot, like blocking a shot, throwing a hit, winning a puck battle, taking care of the front of the net... but a coach is still going to use Chabot a lot more and against better players. Driving offense and transitioning efficiently makes you spend much less time defending...

I really don’t know what to do with Chych after this contract. It’s going to be tough to give him a big money, long term deal.

Sens can use all 3 for 22-25ish mins, but I’m not sure where those minutes come from with PK and PP duties amongst the D core.

Sanderson looks good everywhere, so here’s hoping he can play in the right side moving forward.

Make no mistake, the D should be built around Sanderson, he is an elite, elite D.

He's the contract to move, that much is clear. Unless he signs in the 6 range.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Really pleased with his game last night. That trip to the dressing room was a nail biter.

We look so much better when Chabby is playing.

I think with all factors considered… (and this hopeful and perhaps naive) I don’t think Chyc will try and break the bank. He wants to be here. More so than others.

 

[Schmautz11]

I've been on Chabots case a lot these last few seasons. Last night was one of his best I've seen in a long time. Hope that type of performance continues to be the norm.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Nice have Chabby transitioning the puck out of the zone again.

Though was concerned when he went down the tunnel.

If we keep 3 I would prefer Sanderson, Chabot and Zub. Chychrun (if healthy ) will have a lot of value on the market.. Sandy's play on the right side without drop off will be a factor in the construction. Little bit of time but the timing of a move would also be important because of his contract and avoiding a possible TDL roster loss. The Sens need to get moving on their front office .. lots of work to do.

Neither JBD nor Hamonic are better defensively.

Maybe throwing a big hit, but I think Chabot just doesn't want to do it.

I know what you are saying, but I still think Chabot is better.

Of course Chabot is miles better defensively, just because defending is not just throwing hits, blocking shots and playing physical. I have seen a lot of hockey fans not even aware of this, particularly in Erik Karlsson threads

 

[Answer]

Key is to keep Chabot fresh and not play him close to 30 minutes a night

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Was there not supposed to be an update today?

I think the team was going to talk to the dr today, when the team provides an update might depend on what they hear from the dr..

Damn

Not encouraging. Have to think that they would have shared "good" news.

 

[Micklebot]

Staios saying this morning they anticipate having something to share on Chabot's status sometime this afternoon,

"We need another 24hrs to get a second opinion"

 

[Micklebot]

"We need another 24hrs to get a second opinion"

Was that the update for this afternoon Staois was talking about? I just figured because it came from DJ before noon, it was based off the previous days info.
