[MBH]

I love it.
Big minute guy.
LD.
Plays PK.
EXACTLY what we needed.
Takes some pressure off Seider and Hronek and especially Edvinsson/Johansson.

 

[stillwater]

I've always liked his game as well.

 

[Shaman464]

Term and dollars will make this a great signing or one I hate.

 

[Henkka]

Chiarot - Seider
Määttä - Hronek
Edvinsson - Lindström

Not bad.

 

[lhsgolf19]

This basically eliminates us from trading for Petry so I’m happy lol

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Can't say Yzerman is an analytics GM that's for sure. At least he is big. DeKeyser replacement...

Agrees Petry is hot garbage

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Was meh about the Copp and Maata signings, but I really like this.

Edit: I don't like the term I'm hearing. I am meh again.

 

[Oddbob]

No complaints depending on years and dollars.

 

[Ricelund]

Awesome. He'll be an asset they can eventually move at the deadline too. Teams overpay for guys like Chiarot, as evidenced by last year's TDL.

 

[PelagicJoe]

Now we are talking.

 

[Hoog]

He and Natta are perfect for the young guys. Absolutely love this signing.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

guessing Ed is 2LD, while Maatta anchors 3LD w/Lindstrom. Otherwise they'd be essentially running 1 rookie + 1 sophomore on the same pair.

 

[SantosHalper]

Big Ben! Nice, now the defense are starting look like Yzerman's defense. Can't wait what kind of magic, Boughner can do with them.

 

[Frk It]

So guess they didn't like what they saw from Walman, lol

 

[better Red than Dead]

This was the signing I wanted

Hopefully by the time you would consider trading Chiarot, we're good enough that we're not sellers.

Guess it depends what the term is.

5.625m x 5 years

Our 2nd line C

They qualified him though.

I suspect he'll be in a rotation (with maybe Maata, Oesterle, Lindstrom) that fills the 5/6/7/8 spots on D.

 

[Umingmak]

I absolutely hate this signing. I watched him a ton with the Jets (lived in Nunavut while he played in Winnipeg, and they were the only local broadcasts we got).

This guy is not good. At all. He’s a pylon. He will be the slowest player on the ice by a lot. He constantly puts himself out of position to make hits. The term is too long, and the money is too high.

Wait, what? For Chiarot!??!?!

 

[Umingmak]

Wait, what? For Chiarot!??!?!

I think he posted in the wrong thread. I saw 4 years, $22M for Chiarot, which is an absolutely terrible contract if true.
