They have different roles on the team. The whole question is nonsense.
Carlo vs. Chara

Barely Irrelevant
No...I think I got it. You said in a big game situation, it was Z. My response was that Carlo has never really played in that many big games (in the NHL), so how would anyone have any idea of how he would handle it.
Maybe you misunderstood that?
Personally, with the way the two have played THIS season, if I had to choose one, I would take Carlo in that spot.

Z is still the better player. He still may be the league's best defender on the PK and can add more offense then Carlo.

Yeah i like Carlo and all but he provides no offense and his advanced stats are not good. One day, but not now.

ANTHONY!
Carlo will be more important in a playoff series against Toronto, and MAYBE Tampa as well (assuming both teams advance)

Lol no
One is a first ballot hof player that at one time could score a lot of goals on the pp.
Carlo but that's how it should be by now. He's just about ready to fully take over Chara's role/time on ice when he retires. It was part of Chara's job to get him ready for that. I would be concerned if he wasn't better than Chara now with only a year left of mentorship.

carlo wouldnt hold charas jockstrap if chara was still 29
at his age... I think carlo compares favorably to a young chara... lets remember chara wasnt an overnight sensation
today... for 1 game... I think they are rather equal.
can carlo improve? I feel yes
can chara improve? weve seen his best day
its kind of a weird question to even worry about... we are lucky to have both. both guys would play on any team in the nhl. both would play in the top 4 of any team in nhl

I am sorry if I am missing something? The Bruins are lucky to have both IMO.

Carlo is light years better than Chara IMO in his first couple seasons.
That being said, Carlo won't sniff the ceiling Chara set IMO.
Carlo will hopefully evolve into a better skating Johnny Boychuk.

I don’t think Carlo will ever come close to charas points totals, but Carlo is a stud defensively for sure

I looked at it from a similar perspective...I thought, who would I want on the ice more between the two, on a PK. If one of Chara OR Carlo was in the box for 2 mins...I still get worried when Z is serving...maybe I'm just used to his presence back there for so long....but I guess I pick Chara ATM.

Seems like an interesting comparable.
Btw can we agree that not giving Boychuk 6m was a decent choice?

Yes. I still think he would have come in less had the Bruins signed him that summer, but was def the right call.

Carlo is probably the best defensive dman in the league over the full sheet of ice. Chara is still one of the best in his own end but his speed keeps slowing down with his age and he was never fast to begin with. If Chara is standing within stick range of the crease, he might still be #1 but there is a lot more ice than just that.
Also, Carlo is saddled with Krug most of the time who rarely plays defense so the fact his defensive numbers are as good as they are is incredible.

Ignores/60 = Elite
Chara at 22yrs old = 13.4 p/gp
Carlo at 22yrs old = 13.9 p/gp
Why we're only talking about offense I don't know, but carlo is a big dman, untapped offensive potential, work horse on the blue line and excellent shutdown d-man...oh and he can skate.
Again Carlo is a new age Chara. Don't agree? Ok that's fine.

I accidentally posted this in the prospects thread instead of here. I guess I was too distracted watching the CBJ comeback.
For those asking, this is the paywall article on Carlo talking about his GA/60: Brandon Carlo is the most boring defenseman in the league,...
1.42 GA/60 (that was at the time of the article but Hockey Reference has it at 1.5 at the end of the season) at even strength is the best for any Dman playing 1000 minutes. What is amazing is he usually plays with Krug who has a 2.3 GA/60 EV which shows just how good Carlo is without him.
Interestingly, Lauzon and Clifton sit at 1.1 GA/60 EV in their 16 and 19 game stints respectively.
