In fairness,
Stone is arguably a top 5 all-around RW in the NHL.
Ryan is a 56 point "2nd line" RW
Other right-shot top 9 forwards on their roster include Zibanejad, Pageau, and Lazar.
So even if Chiasson is an "Ottawa cast-off" we don't know what that really means, either 5v5 or power-play. Chiasson strikes me as a pure top-6-or-bust type player stuck on a team the best 1-2 punch at his position.
I'm not saying Chiasson is good, only that being an Ottawa cast-off should not be an indictment.
