How does Mcavoy beat Chabot here? Id love to know. Chabot has been better than him at the WJC, has had much better production on a way worse team, he plays more minutes, his D partner has been Zaitsev and Mcavoy gets Chara. I know the sens suck but that doesnt mean every player on the team sucks.

Chabot is extremely underrated. IMO the best Dmen from the 2015 Class.

Agreed, the one year he had players to pass the puck to he scored 55 points in 70 games. They need to dial back his icetime this year he was playing too much and you could see it in his play. Getting him down to 23 minutes a game will make him more effective. As the team gets better he is going to start to be in the conversation as one of the best young D men again. Its hard to score when your best outlets are Connor Brown and Anthony Duclair, especially producing on the PP. Him feeding Stuetzle should be pretty electric. Their pp should also get better with Tkachuk in front, daddy in the slot and 88 dealing from the half wall.

Charlie but considering some of the other guys it's great to see how deep the NHL is in quality elite Dmen right now.

Also don't count out a motivated doughty...he isn't done yet besides a down year.

I like McAvoy a lot, but he's not better than Chabot.

With that being said, I voted Karlsson. I think he's going to prove a lot of people wrong this year.

I voted McAvoy, wanted to vote Chabot, but primarily voted McAvoy because if its between him and Hughes than it should be him

Because the gap defensively is bigger than the gap offensively. Also Chara sucks now.

McAvoy is better all around. Chabot still needs to improve defensively imo

I can't believe Theodore isn't running away with this. And HFBoards posters are supposed to be more educated than the common big market fan.

I don’t watch him, and haven’t voted in this poll. Stats wise, he’s 10th in the nhl in scoring amongst defensemen, 45th in toi/gp, 35th in Es toi/gp, 13th for pp toi/ gp, and doesn’t pk at all. His possession numbers are strong, but he was kind of sheltered when it comes to ozone starts and quality of competition.

so make a case for him over others for those that don’t see him much as the stats don’t indicate he’d be a runaway winner.
