Chabot vs EK65

Imagine if there was a team lucky enough to have had these two players on the same team at the same time. Your defence could be set for years.

We have Boro. Same production in goals so far.

It doesn't really seem like you want to let this go, seems more like you want it to keep it going

 

[JungleBeat]

Not in the same tier.

 

[slamigo]

Let's compare the EK65 contract with Chabot's. Yeah, I'll take Chabot thanks.

 

[GCK]

This thread is a very bad idea.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

That chabot kid is pretty good

 

[Agent Zub]

Eh Karlsson was arguably the best player in the league at Chabots age.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Karlsson was arguably the greatest dman of his generation while in his prime with us, not sure I ever see Chabot being that dominant.

 

[Agent Zub]

It doesn't really seem like you want to let this go, seems more like you want it to keep it going

I mean it's a valid point is it not?

Karlsson - Chabot would be the best defensive duo in the league for the next 10 years.

 

[HSF]

Chabot is a tier or two below at the same age

 

[Micklebot]

I don't think it's really fair to compare Chabot to Karlsson but the fact that it's not crazy to do so is a real compliment to how well Chabot has played so far in his career.

Chabot is awesome. So is Karlsson. One still plays here so I'm good with heaping praise on him when deserved.

Good on ya Chabot. Keep up the good work.

Not sure what you are getting at. Its definitely a valid discussion point in a thread to discuss an article comparing Chabot to Karlsson. Even the biggest Karlsson haters have to admit that they would be pretty electric together, it's not like it couldn't have happened.

Weren't you just saying the other day that we need to move on from this? That's whay you said no?

If you say so i guess

You think Karlsson will be in the league in 10 years?

Pretty decent chance he will, but he won't likely be elite anymore.

Never said it in a thread created to discuss Karlsson and Chabot. Karlsson's name is in the title of the thread, why wouldn't he be discussed?

 

[JD1]

In the league at 39? Having earned 140 million or so. I doubt it.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Karlsson in his prime was the best I've ever seen. Karlsson now and with that contract not so much, so I'll gladly take the younger player no matter how they stacked up at that age.

You need your winger to play D while Karlsson is on the ice,it’s not all sunshine and lollipops.
Plus after 32 production tails off if he doesn’t figure out a shut down role he will be reduced to PP and favorable ice time.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I mean it isn't even Karlssons style to play deep in the offensive zone or make rushes to the net.

If that is not his "style" then he's had to change his game

It was never his style. Karlsson carried the puck to gain the zone and establish position.

Very rarely would he try and go coast to coast.

Not for the next ten years, for the last 10 years if we could put Chabot in a time machine.
