I am curious about all of the hype for Chabot. I have not been able to watch him play. I only have the limited previews of clips online to judge him by so take everything with a grain of salt and i realise the terribly small sample size. From the clips i have seen i haven't seen one decent defensive play and he does not appear to be very mobile when getting back on defence, ie. skating backwards or quick shifting from forwards to backwards. Are there any clips that show some of his defensive prowess? Further more he appears to take a long time getting his shot away. For what are supposed to be "promotional" videos for this kid i find them very underwhelming. Can anyone with more insight explain to me what I am not seeing?

Personally i think we need some more defensemen that are difficult to play against. I think that offensive defensemen with the exception of a few very elite guys are often over valued in today's game. To be honest i think we are seeing that offensively gifted defensemen are a lot easier to come by these days than super solid defensive defensemen.
