why do habs fans overrate chiarots value

How is a top 4 defenseman not worth at least a 2nd round pick? You're crazy!

Look at the return David Savard got, for starters. They are pretty much the same defenseman

Brenden Dillon

Hes worth more than a 4th, but I wouldn;t say hes a great top 4 guy. Hes a solid crease clearing guy, good on PK, but not quick IMO a slightly above average 2LD

Hes definitely worth a 2nd as a UFA to a team needing a 2LD.

Savard had a bit more pedigree and reputation, but on TB looked like a third pairing guy at times.

I think hes worth a late 2nd. Similar to what Graves got but without the player added (Graves is younger and slightly better than Chiarot imo)

Like him or not he fetches more than a fourth at the trade deadline. Habs would probably also retain if they are out of a spot not looking to add. That’s just how the trade deadline goes for a top 4 defenceman
