Drafted 18th overall by the Senators in June, Thomas Chabot played two years with the Saint John Sea Dogs in the QMJHL before his dreams of being selected by an NHL team were fulfilled.
Chabot is a smooth skating, offensive defenseman who possesses the ability to move the puck with ease whether it's making a perfect pass or taking the puck end to end. As it usually comes with defensemen who enjoy to jump up in the play, the 18-year-old has had the defensive part of his game widely criticized, even by his own organization.
