OP needs to add an "s" after goal in the title.
@HSF and add this to the main post
So the Sens lose Karlsson but then this guy shows up. The Ottawa scouts deserve heaping praise for finding such gifted defensemen. I can’t believe how good his footwork and agility is for such a big man. Another franchise defenseman in the making for sure.
His junior pedigree is unbelievable. He won best defender in entire CHL in only 34 games. Same season he was first ever defender to win MVP at wjc with a historic performance for team Canada. His point totals last season rival Karlsson's rookie season too. But I wouldn't label him as franchise defender though. I think there's a total of 5-7 franchise defenseman in the entire NHL currently (Karlsson, Doughty, Hedman, Subban, Pietrangelo, Keith, Weber) few guys knocking on the door like Josi, Burns and few guys like Provorov Jones , McAvoy and Heiskanen have potential after few more proven seasons. There's a distinction for franchise defenders, normally they compete for the Norris in more than one season and are still comfortably in top 5-10 NHL defender talks for another chunk.
But if someone has the ability, Chabot definitely right up there with them.
