But you make that statement based on nothing, Zadorov has played far better this year and so has Gudbranson. The only viable argument you've made is QoC and that just means you can only speculate how much better Chiarot would be in a sheltered role.

Why would he be used more than Kylington? He is one of the more mobile defensemen in the league and is significantly better offensively

He got traded to FLO we’re good now

Sounds like Flames acquired Lindholm's cousin too (Jarnkrok). This makes a lot more sense for their teams needs as they currently have Lewis playing with Coleman and Backlund on the "2nd line"

I will just say that Chiarot is better than Zadorov & Gudbranson by a large margin & could be used more than Kylington. Or maybe 3rd pairing instead of Zadorov and if an injury occurs, than you got someone who can play easily on the top 4 (because Zadorov isn’t good enough). But again, I understand you guys not welling to pay an hefty price for Chiarot. I wouldn’t trade a 1st alone for him, but he isn’t bad like you pretend. Maybe a 50ish pick is fine for him, but that’s it. Unfortunately for the team acquiring him, they will overpay

No one here has doubted that a team will over pay, we just watched it happen. The doubt was Pelletier and a 1st and the doubt was in the need for the Flames, Zadorov and Gudbranson have been significantly better, doesn’t mean Chiarot is a worse player, he’s been worse this year. Made zero sense
