Who has more value - Chabot or Draisaitl?

[Sting]

Simple question - who has more trade value between these two players?

This is taking everything into account - age, position, contract.

It’s close. Draisaitl is more established but Chabot is showing his ceiling is very high as a defenseman in this league with his play this season.

Chabot

maybe when I see Draisaitl take over the 2nd line and produce it would be a bit closer but at the moment I say Chabot by a mile.

I'm starting to feel the need to just put people on the spot when they go with this now classic HF Board moniker that Drai isn't a #1c.

Who should Draisatl be producing with on the 2nd line? Give me 1 example of a star player who produces with linemates with similar ability to Lucic, Reider, Kassian, Chiasson, Ty Rattie.. I'll wait.

Chabot looks like a stud and I like him a lot and a #1D man is equally if not more valuable than a #1C but when people say stuff like "by a mile" it's downright laughable. He's played half a season.

 

[McBaevid]

Because Mcdavid is so good, all these fools seem to think Draisaitl is some scrub. There isn't a single player in the league that's putting up similar numbers to Draisaitl without an elite linemate(s)

Chabot

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

As a Oilers/Sens fan Draisaitl is an amazing player but having a player like Chabot in the backend makes a worlds difference what he can bring. So I'd have to go with Chabot.

This is Chabot for sure, even after he signs a comparable contract to Draisaitl in 2020.
You can make a case that Draisaitl is more established but Chabot has played at a higher level this season then Draisaitl ever has. I mean that with no disrespect to Draisaitl.

Draisaitl is third in goals and 11th in points, also has a previous top 10 points finish but Chabot in 50 games has played at a higher level than him

Not saying Chabot isnt amazing but that's a bad take.

Chabot. Easily.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I'd say the same tbh. Lean Chabot. In a year it should be Chabot no question if he maintains same play, there would only be a handful that would have more value.

You were doing a great job proving your point before dropping this bombshell. No way no how is a 1D equal to a 1C, let alone more valuable.

 

[Section88]

Chabot only because of contracts

Lots of people would disagree with you

Lots of people would disagree with you

And they would be wrong.

Draisaitl doesn't just fail to produce while he's on the 2nd line, he also gets caved in with awful possession numbers, even relative to his awful team without him.

He's not proven as a #1C. He may or may not have the ability to be a #1C but he just has not proven it yet. It's really, really simple stuff.

 

[Fandlauer]

Chabot.

Ottawa should get a nice return when he needs a contract.

 

[ESH]

And they would be wrong.

In your opinion

Oilers fan voting Chabot

I love Dr Drai to bits. But I'd still take Chabot in a heartbeat.

While on the 2nd line, he plays with terrible wingers and his relative numbers would be compared against McDavid's line as well, not just an awful team.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Chabot. AINEC is an understatement here.

The Sens are clearly the worst team in the league right now. How much worse could they be without Chabot there?

To be fair, they literally have no wingers.

How many Sens games have you watched vs Oilers games? I've watched every single one of them and having a player like Chabot in the backend who will only get better. When he's on the ice he plays a strong defensive game and is unreal moving up the puck. I'll say this confidence the Oilers are by far the worst team in the league. They don't play as a team they aren't having fun at all. Truthfully if they didn't have McDavid they would be in big trouble. The Sens have depth and a young team. They just have a shitty owner that's destroying everything. My number one team is the Oilers but I find I've been having way more fun watching the Sens play.
