Prospect Info: D Declan Chisholm (2018 5th, 150th overall) - Signed ELC

[DannyGallivan]

Niku plays on the right side. So can Heinola and Morrisey.

Where are they at their strongest? But that would be an option. If we could keep five of those six defensemen, our blueline could (optimistically) be quite impressive in about 2-3 years. This would especially be the case of the "Logan Stanley Experiment" bears fruit and Samberg signs here - that's some serious size,skill and meanness.

One major issue...
What do Chisholm, Morrissey, Logan Stanley, Sammi Niku, Dylan Samberg and Ville Heinola all have in common? They all shoot left.

Decisions will have to be made.

I know it might seem far-fetched, but having a strong and growing group of talented young D will perhaps give Chevy options to make trades to fill in gaps on RD, or in other areas of the line-up.

Signed his ELC this morning!

I'm excited we got him inked because in my view he is really on the rise.

Welcome to the Jets!

 

[surixon]

Good signing. A prospect that has developed really well since being drafted.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Happy that this one is done. There wasn't much doubt, but it is still nice to have the slim doubt eliminated.

Now sign DeMelo!

Damn, now I won't get to refer to him as Declines Stayshome.

I’m sure he signed just so we can all avoid that unfortunate nickname.

 

[John Agar]

Happy...



Beautiful day folks... Summer and Declan are here....

People rarely talk about Declan Chisholm but I noted during the draft he was the #5 prospect according to Sportsnet. I noted continued improvement offensively in the OHL. I am curious what he projects to be? 2nd line dman? 3rd pairing? What are his strengths and weaknesses?

I don't know a ton but when he was drafted I think skating was a plus, and decision making was something to improve upon, but he seems thats hes putting it together at the right time. I think 2nd pairing is probably the ceiling but it might not be outlandish that he reaches that in two or three years.

A 5th rounder will usually have to prove more than a 1st or 2nd rounder before getting opportunities. He's got a long road to the NHL and taking a covid year off won't help.

Cautiously optimistic. I had high hopes for Jan Kostalek once upon a time.

Unfortunately Jan was REALLY lazy. Let’s hope Declan at least has a pulse. I like Chisholm he is a solid B prospect from the 5th round.

How close is Chisholm to being NHL ready?

How was he tonight?

 

[None]

How was he tonight?

Confident in all 3 zones. Absolutely didn't look like it was his first NHL game.

We definitely need to see more of the kid.

Shattered my expectations in that audition.

Someone needs to help Beyak annunciate this name. Pretty sure it’s not pronounced “Jizm” there’s a “ch” there.

Sarah wouldn't say his last name.

Gotta wonder how the F he was sitting there in the 5th round.

Gotta wonder how the F he was sitting there in the 5th round.

From what I gathered he has improved allot since his draft year. Quite often we hear the hockey phrase "Best player available". But allot of the times the code to crack is probably "player most likely to improve" (enough to make a dent in the NHL)
