Speculation: The emergence of Chabot.

[6stringmofo]

I love EK, but he's gone. If he was still here, would Chabot have had this opportunity? The kid is killing it.

Why can't we just enjoy Chabot without dragging in the past?

Sorry, enjoying some legal Canadian weed.

We should probably package him for a 3rd liner F and a 3rd pairing D asap, why wait for the inevitable?

I don't know, I think if Chabot can keep up this play for a season he may be able to return 6 assets! At this point, best case, we probably only get 3 or 4 assets.

But to answer the original question, he'd be playing just as well as he's clearly a great talent but I don't know that he'd be outscoring Karlsson (aka he would have less points, not that Karlsson would have more than Chabot has now). No question Karlsson would dominate the puck and take some of the chances Chabot gets now.

EK 25 min a night
Chabot 25 min a night

Would habe been ridiculous

Agree.

He might have had less of a shot on the PP at first but they couldn’t have kept him off it for long. He’s too talented.

As for even strength and PK he’d have the same opportunity. We have nobody else.

We would have seen some of what we've seen but not to the same extent... Karlsson was the guy he demands the icetime and takes the spotlight. Chabot would not hae had the opportunity to QB the pp the same way.., I think there could be some changes in deployment with Chabot's game showing growth but it would not be close to what it is now

We must do everything we can to stop it from happening again.

 

[swiftwin]

Signing Karlsson means we'd be guaranteed to lose one of Stone or Duchene. We don't have anyone ready to step in at 1C or 1RW like Chabot has/will be able to step into 1D.

 

[thinkwild]

It is a really interesting question. I'd also think there would obviously be changes in deployment. But its still a little hard to tell how much exactly that would have affected his emergence or ability take advantage of opportunities. His emergence has also exceeded my expectations. This refrain of mine has been rather common this year, maybe why im still here being amazed by that goal of Duchenes

Imagine if we won the draft lottery and had Dahlin too.

Because we must look to the past to help understand the future.

It is optimistic isn't it considering all of the other shit.

I agree, but that's not what's being done here. OP is acting like a stage five clinger.

 

[Agent Zub]

We'd probably have one of the best d corps in the league with Karlsson + Chabot. That's two superstar two way dmen who can play 30 mins each.


Instead we have the worst.

Problem?

We’ll we’re probably gonna lose both regardless so...

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Oh man... you had to go there. My whole summer was based on the prospect of getting Dahlin... Tkachuk is making me forget all about it though as he appears to be next best player.

Sorry, enjoying some legal Canadian weed.

Still enjoying the illegals.

 

[DanyHeatley]

if chabot was still here, guy boucher cooking bbq at your backyard, boro walks in wearing a tank and slaps your girls ass and erik tosses you a joint wyd after taking this hit?

I agree. you have to start with the PP and recognize that EK QB'd it for almost the full 2 minutes. so that opportunity wouldn't be there.

I think the rest of the game would look similar but the production wouldn't be there

 

[Sensung]

There is absolutely no reason that both EK and Chabot couldn't be on the #1 PP unit.

NONE

As a LD and a RD you could choose to play them together at even strength and have an elite 1st pairing or play them on separate pairs and have two units capable of zone exits.

Chabot might have a few less points, the same or a few more. One thing for sure, the Sens would have more points and wouldn't be the worst defensive team in the NHL.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

With Karlsson here, Chabot would also get easier matchups for most of the game. So that makes up for any PP time lost (if any is lost).
