Rather have Chiasson than Klimchuk on the 4th line. Klimchuk is either going to be a top 6 player or bust. He doesn't do what you'd want from your bottom lines.

Klimmer tripled his point totals year over year in 10 less games and is/has been known for his 200 foot game his whole career. Had a bit of a hard stretch there when Stockton slumped but he's been a solid contributer all year for them:
15/16 -- 55 GP / 3 G / 6 A / 9 Pts / 10 PIMS / even
16/17 -- 54 GP / 14 G / 20 A / 34 Pts / 30 PIMS / +9
He can kill penalties and has a solid defensive skill set that I think your clearly not recognizing. Unlike Shinkaruk and Poirier, Klimchuk has taken a massive step forward this year and has leap frogged many on the depth chart and is only below Jankowski and Hathaway in terms of call ups at this point.
