Ben Chiarot from the Jets, I guess. He's just about passable as a bottom pairing defenseman, and nothing more.
He rarely has a bad night, mostly because his good nights aren't all that different. If his performances were rated and then put on a diagram, you would see something very close to a straight line. There's nothing that stands out in his game either, so aside from his heavy body checks, you won't see him on a highlight reel. Well, forget the checks. You just won't see him there.
I think he's a pretty reliable for a #6 defenseman. Admittedly, he isn't mistake-free, but then again, who is (other than Lidstrom). Everyone does them, and what you can expect from Chiarot is nothing more or less than from your average bottom-pairing dweller. He does the job, but sometimes, someone else does his job better, and that results in a goal. You can now close your eyes and picture the rage of HFJets game discussion threads.
You'll get an occasional point out of him, and he is somewhat physical. Sounds very average for the player of his type. He does some PKing, although he may lose that spot for Morrissey (if he hasn't already, I'm not completely sure). Offensively, he has little to offer.
In my eyes, Ben Chiarot is a guy who doesn't hurt the team, but you can't expect him to get you those extra points. He does the job we need him to, sometimes with varying success, and then skates to the bench just to repeat the same routine in the next shift. That's very average, but at the same time, it's what you can ask for from him. As long as he keeps doing just that, he is OK.
