I can’t say I’ve seen a lot of Chatfield, but he’s at 15:12 ATOI for the year and has been a healthy scratch at times. Carolina has a very solid defence corps, but I’d be concerned as to whether he’s just a guy that looks good in limited minutes. What kind of contract are you thinking and is it worth adding to the logjam?
He's a RD, so the logjam isn't existent. Well, I guess it makes the LD logjam worse but it is what it is, I don't want Guhle on the right side. Of course he's a depth D, he's not some kind of hidden gem that will transform the roster but he does provide all the tools we need for now. He'd strengthen the RD for sure, and push comes to shove, we can just move on from Kovacevic, because he's an upgrade on JoKo. That would hinge on Barron, Mailloux or Reinbacher to be ready for prime time, and I don't think they are.
He's definitely a gamble to take and he wouldn't be my first choice, I'd go for Roy or a few others before him, but he would be cheaper, I think. I'm assuming anything for 2 to 4 depending on years ? Over 3.5 is rich but hey.
