No I have access to advance analytics.
Had a worse xGA than Chiarot while on Chicago. He's a defensive blackhole that's going to be gone for half the season.
LMAO what? This entire statement is completely filled with ignorance
1. Chicago was a team designed to tank, there were only 4 regulars on the entire Chicago roster with a better xGA/60 than Chiarot and all of them played quite sheltered minutes except Dickinson. Entwistle, Khjaira, and Tinordi are the others.
2. It is literally Chiarot's sole job to play defense. He absolutely wasn't paid nearly 5M for his offense. Setting him as the bar for defensive play is embarrassing. I mean hell last I checked Chiarot had a better xGA/60 than Draisaitl, M. Tkachuk, Stutzle, Nylander, Crosby, Point, E. Karlsson, and Thompson this season. That's literally 9 of the top 20 in scoring this season
3. Unlike point 2, Kane is not paid to play defense he is paid to provide offense. It is fact that Detroit finished 24th in GF last season and Kane would undoubtedly be a huge improvement on that. Not to mention him and Cat have excellent chemistry together
