The Q has always been a more offense oriented league so Chabot numbers are likely skewed.

But again, this is all about magic beans. I just like ours equally or more than Ottawas.
Stats are not a good way of measuring the worth of defensemen prospects. You have to watch the kids. And the scouts think Chabot is a top tier defenseman prospect, one of the best outside the NHL.

Sorry but Chabot is seen as a potential top pairing guy and I don't think any of our guys outside of Valimaki have that potential. I could see Valimaki being seen very soon as in the same light as Chabot but the other guys aren't there IMO.
