I hope Chiarot gets dealt after tonight...
Having him play at this point is flirting with disaster.
Wonder what the hold up is, hopefully it's not the market softening as more teams are shifting to seller mode
There's really not that many quality D available though. Most teams are selling forwards.
Lindholm, Chiarot & Leddy are the only 3 legit ones. Those are 3 very different defensemen too.
Manson isn't that good, is more of a #5, makes more than Chiarot, is currently injured & has had injury issues last 2 seasons. He also has a 12 team NTC.
Chychrun has zero playoff experience and Arizona is asking for a lot. Probably an off-season move.
Giordano's contract is expensive even at 50% and he is a bottom pairing D at this stage.
DeHaan has slowed down a lot and is a bottom pairing D at this point.
Lots of bottom pairing Ds available.
