Chariot sucks, should have used that 1st+ for Giroux.

Idk, I’ll take Zito and his supporting advisors’ opinion over yours (and others’), he’s earned my trust, so far.

“When we looked at areas we thought we could help our team in, we thought this particular player checked a lot of boxes for us,” Zito said.
“This is a guy who is a six-strength defenseman, is a left shot, in good shape. He has leadership qualities, has a physical element to his game. He is a guy who had that experience of going deep with Montreal. It wasn’t as simple as looking for a ‘type’ of player; it is who is the person.
“We did extensive research on his character, who he is as a person. His competitiveness, how he will fit with our team. It’s as much the indivual as it is what our team needs.”

And, supposedly, they are still in on Giroux. Anyway, FL needed D help before adding more offense.

I was starting to like lindbohm. I guess hes odd man out when chiarot can join. Unless forsling is hurting from that block the other night. I completely forgot we even had that useless nuutivara

I hope you are right. personally i dont consider 18 points, a -18 rating, and 42 PIM a stud. Were in deep now. and cant afford him next year so i dont think he was worth the 1st++

Well, you're right, but also check the return for Manson Anaheim's got, whereas Manson got only 9 pts on a better offensive team this year.

As somebody else said : if Chiarot is in playoffs beast mode, he'll be such a liability for you guys.

Don't underestimate him. Still agree that it was overpayed, but I really think he's the piece you guys could hope for to solidify your D in playoffs.
