I never got the hate for Chiasson, even when the team was losing. He always seemed fine to me. He's gotten better as the season's gone along. He skates/forechecks hard, is pretty quick and he's physical. For 800k.
Some people were quick to criticise Gaudreau, Brodie and the higher paid players at the start of the season. And rightfully so. Always bringing up their large contracts and need to play better. And yet for some reasons, Chiasson, a guy making 800k, was criticised in the same manner.
Never made sense to me the hate he's gotten. So what if he goes offside? You know who else does a lot? Gaudreau. Monahan. Literally every player does it a couple times a game.
If Chiasson biggest knock is going offside once in a while, then I think he's doing pretty darn well.
