## Resource

Ben Chiarot’s new three-year, $3.85M deal signals Detroit’s faith in his physical dominance—second in hits and blocked shots last season—but analytics and fans remain divided on his true value. While his offensive output is modest and his possession metrics lag, his extension through age 38 locks him into a key role. Moved to the second pairing last year, he may be most effective on the third pair, hinting that the Red Wings’ ceiling might still be rising—and Chiarot’s presence higher up could mean they’re not yet at their best.
