He is what he is - a depth guy capable of potting in some goals. I was hoping he would be that early in his career "Dallas guy" that scored a bunch, played fairly physical, and attacked the net a lot. Somewhere along the way, he just turned into a 'meh' player. He isn't hurting this team. I think he is helping, actually. I wouldn't scratch him - just don't give him that much ice time.
Chiasson is a decent depth guy who you eventually hope gets pushed out by players in the system, but it is really hard to complain about him as he is probably out-producing his cap hit, and in today's NHL, that is important.
With that said, I hope the Flames destroy the Leafs tonight. I want Hamilton to be a force all over the ice so that those idiot "Hamilton sucks anyways" sour-grape losers can STFU. Hat trick for Hamilton, 3 assists and beats on 3 of their punks (not that he ever fights..). Triple Gordie Howe Hat Trick please. Too much to ask?

Let's save the game of his career for the Cup Finals haha
Chiasson has been exactly as expected. 4th line player, 4th line salary, 4th line production. He's not a liability on the ice, which is more than can be said about some of the players that played 4th line even as recently as last year. He's our 3rd best (4th best if Versteeg counts) RW and I don't think it's really close.
