Hopefully he sticks around and his play continues to warrant a NHL roster spot.
His AHL stats (regular and fancy) paint a picture of a truly good AHL player, offensively and defensively.
Between this and what Jets fans have been saying about him, I'm excited to see what he can do on our blueline. In the very limited NHL time he's had, it sounds like he's played well. From all I've read, he is a smart offensive defenseman who moves the puck well under pressure, and disrupts plays with good skating and stick work, but isn't very physical in spite of decent size (listed at 6'1" 190lbs).
If he displaces one or two of our bottom defenders on this team, it'll be worth it.
The same site lists Brodin at 6'1" 196lbs, so they're very similarly sized depending on how much fudge there is in either of their measurements. That's decent size, not big, not small. I'm cool with it.I don't need him to be uber physical. The game has shifted away from big hitting Dmen, anyway. It's nice to have a bit of extra length when defending, and providing leverage when leaning on others. 6'1" isn't special(he's probably 6'), but it's big enough.
To me, i just want to see what his commitment to defense is. Is it decent, or is he the next Addison, or Menell?

First thing I did upon the Wild claiming him was look up "Chisholm Minnesota" in Google, thinking I'd get the player. Results were not what I expected.I live in Chisholm so it’s kind of weird having his last name on a jersey.
Small town on the Iron Range just north of Hibbing. Big claims to fame are Doc Graham from Field of Dreams fame and the Olympic curling team captainFirst thing I did upon the Wild claiming him was look up "Chisholm Minnesota" in Google, thinking I'd get the player. Results were not what I expected.
If he is good enough to keep Merrill and/or Goligoski off the ice, then this is a WIN.
I’m sure there’s a few of us on here.Sweet I live in Embarrass. Nice to see another North Minnesota guy.

Does waiver priority order reset after we made this claim or do we stay at the same position?
Wonder if Ottawa puts Jacob Bernard-Docker on waivers to bring back Forsberg and if so would we make a claim on him.No, it stays the same. They are 47/50 on the roster, so 3 open spots (most teams like to keep 1 or 2 open).
Wouldn't that put us at 9 defensemen on the roster? I guess it would be rather easy to waive Merrill and Mermis.Wonder if Ottawa puts Jacob Bernard-Docker on waivers to bring back Forsberg and if so would we make a claim on him.
Yeah but I hope we'd put Merill on Waivers and I guess Mermis too but also think that some team at the TDL still might ask about Gogs granted getting him to waive is another story.Wouldn't that put us at 9 defensemen on the roster? I guess it would be rather easy to waive Merrill and Mermis.
