Another reset year 1

Ottawa accepts.

Just checked out Chiarot's "rels", which compare him to his teammates.

CF% rel - negative every single year of his career
SF% rel - negative 6 of the last 7 seasons
GF% rel - negative last 3 seasons and 6 of 8
xGF% rel - negative 6 of last 7
SCF% rel - negative 7 of 8
HDCF% rel - negative 6 of 7

These are not good numbers, in fact they are quite bad. Worse, they're largely caused by poor defensive metrics - he allows more shots against than average of his teammates, he allows more goals against, more scoring chances and more high danger corsi. It isn't due to zone starts either, he generally gets about 50% offensive zone starts.

He had one good playoff run where the refs allowed him to hack and whack opponents at will, and Habs fans think he's suddenly a 1st pairing defenseman who is worth a whole ton. Genuinely he's a replacement level guy and has been his entire career.

Actually, the results from the past 2 playoff runs are worse than his regular season results: http://naturalstattrick.com/playerreport.php?fromseason=20212022&thruseason=20212022&stype=3&sit=5v5&stdoi=oi&rate=r&v=p&playerid=8475279.php?fromseason=20212022&thruseason=20212022&stype=2&sit=5v5&stdoi=oi&rate=r&v=p&playerid=8475279

Schneider is probably not available.

Really? This one surprised me

Armia's contract is much worse than Byron. Armia 3 years left at 3.4, Byron has 1 year left at 3.4

Gianni Fairbrother is a LD prospect and frankly, doesn't crack the Sens top-20 prospects

The only positive thing you're doing is upgrading that 4th to a 3rd

Ottawa DECLINES without even thinking

I don't view Armia as a cap dump like Byron.

IMO, his performance as of late is being dragged down by the team at large.

There are some people on this site that don't mind his contract, given that it was signed right after Montreal's Cup Run..

Also, Sherwood is waivers material while Fairbrother is not.
