Whenever sports teams are dropping games, fans commonly look around a team’s roster — especially in the salary cap era — and identify areas where teams simply are not getting as much value out of a player as they should. The phenomenon has been seen at times this season whenever the conversation shifts towards what Alex DeBrincat’s next contract will be and whether that future value and money could be more efficiently allocated to address other areas of need. In others, the conversation has shifted to questioning whether or not Thomas Chabot’s been valuable enough for the Ottawa Senators.
Great work as always Graeme. It's been a strange season for Chabot. Going in you would have thought with Sanderson's presence and emergence it would have been a positive for him but he's just struggled a lot defensively this season. A new head coach is coming when the ownership thing gets resolved and he'll figure out how to get Chabot's whole game back on track. Wouldn't surprise me to see a complete reverse and see a career year in 2023-24.
Great article! I'm no expert but often this year I have felt that Sanderson plays better than Chabot
