Another terrible play by Defensive specialist Chabot!

It’s not like Hughes is a defensive wizard. He’s an offensive defenseman and no one would confuse him otherwise.

Ofc

Chabot is confused as one because he has size if though he's terrible in his own zone as well.

Lmao, what a terrible statement. Whiffing on a puck =/= defensively inept. Chabot when he's off he's off-last night was one of his worst games. But he's a solid 2 way defender. No need for terrible reactionary takes, kid.

When Chabot was a prospect, his projection into the league as a comparable was Bouwmeester because of his strong defensive acumen and 2 way game. He was not the only defender in WJC history to win MVP as a D just for his offensive contributions. Or winning best D in entire CHL (playing I believe record low 34 regular season games).

Not sure you can really go wrong here. I would probably go with Chabot for his all around game. But Hughes if my team needed an offensive D.

 

[Fire Benning]

Hughes leads the NHL in D scoring and is losing in a poll to a guy that looked like prime Matt Bartowski tonight lol.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Chabot is the only top 4 defneseman on that team. Trying to do too much, playing too many minutes.

The Senators need to get him some help

I'm not disagreeing with you. But what you described is also true of Vancouver's defense and Q. Hughes

Deal with it.

 

[CherryToke]

The Sens defence without Chabot might be in the running for worst of all time. I feel bad for him.

This thread is one of the funniest shit I’ve seen on the internet. You have neutral fans chiming in, then you have rival fan base of the Vancouver Canucks also chiming in, speaking against how they really feel, just to take jab at the Vancouver Canucks, with the same users who dumped on Canuck players in previous threads , absolutely hilarious, keep this thread open actually.please. Don’t lock.

Chabot is not in the same planet as Quinn

 

[CasusBelli]

Chabot is the more complete player.

 

[Aqualung]

Chabot is the more complete player.

While that may have been the case pre-contract, this year and even last season I haven’t seen that stud defensive game consistently. His mental gaffs have regularly eroded what usually is solid defensive play from what I’ve seen

I’ll admit I follow NYR primarily, which means I’m working from a small sample size, so I’ll defer to you on this one.

Edler and Schmidt are solidly top 4.

 

[lawrence]

How about Hughes' -2?

he could, but then they will just shoot him down with Chabots -3. tit for tat.

Agreed. Chabot is on a planet ahead of him.

It's easy when you're playing 4th forward to a good offense. With that being said, Hughes was solid defensively tonight. But in other games, my God, lol.

Where's that .gif of Hughes tumbling down from a head fake by a 4th liner.

 

[CrushablePilsner]

This is a silly thread. You are comparing two players at entirely different points in their careers. Both players are also in completely different situations. It is impossible to conclude which is "better" and recency bias isn't helping anything.

I am a sens fan and Chabot is one of the only current bright spots on the team even though he hasnt had a great start. Hughes' numbers speak for themselves and he is an electric defenseman.

I think if you prefer one player over the other that is great , however you are a fool if you think the other is far behind...


edit: spelling

 

[Breakers]

I'd like to see them when each player has a stable partner

Hughes is playing with Tyler Myers most of the year, and his Xgf jumps from 1.76 to 4.03, and GF% from 14 to 61 when he is away from that sack of wrenches.

Ottawa probably envisions Chabot with JBD out of North Dakota, but he is playing with gudbranson and zaitsev primarily at the moment.
Vancouver can tell you about Gudbranson

revolving door with each right now

I am not expecting Quinn hughes to be roman Josi Defensively.
He is a pure Offensive D-man, and he is special when it comes to skating.

Chabot is a very good player, But he does not have Series changing ability like Quinn does.

 

[dedutchhockey]

Hughes is what Branstrom was supposed to be.

Chabot is what Juolevi was supposed to be.

both will be cornerstones for their franchise.


I feel bad for Chabot though that he is developing in a losing culture. That can limit his potential. Sens can’t just tank completely, they need to insulate him some help and talent in back end.

Hughes has been lucky enough to have had Tanev his 1st year and is surrounded by very offensive players to compliment his style. He has also gotten a taste of playoffs and meaningful games. This will definitely help him more in the long run in terms of development vs Chabot

This is absolutely hilarious. You know Chabot's pedigree right?
