Regarding Ben Chiarot-it really wouldn't be the end of the world if we aquired this guy, he's a top-4 D all day long. He's not the shiny prize that a Chychrun or Klingberg would be, but he's evolved and rounded out his game to become an excellent shutdown guy, who can ride shotgun with the offensive-minded guys. He's huge, at 6'3" 230lbs, throws his weight around, and moves the puck well. He's capable in the offensive zone, and owns a bomb of a shot. He wins battles in the corner and in front of the net, and is a top shot-blocker. If we pick him up, hopefully he displaces Zadorov and not Kylington-but he's a Sutter player for sure.
