the guy was a PTO, not one team wanted him for nothing in the off season. Guy can't skate, had an unsustainable shooting % and now has no goals in the past 16-17 games?
his biggest skill was putting his stick on the ice for McDavid to target

Chaisson is soon to be UFA, and his numbers were clearly inflated by both: Playing with McDavid; and having an absurdly high shooting percentage.
Chaisson has 10 assists on the season - and a few of those have come recently - after the stretch where he was playing regularly with McDavid. The point is, he’s not even capable of getting assists when playing with McDavid. You would think that he would have more than a literal handful of times, passed the puck to McDavid in his own zone, and gotten an assist after McDavid rushed up the ice.
At the time Chaisson scored his 17th goal of the season, he had 4 assists on the season - The Oilers could have put ME on that line, and I could have “accidentally” picked up more than 4 assists over that span.
I’ll agree that a 4th rounder for him is about the MAX the Oilers should reasonably expect. Yes, sometimes there’s a team willing to trade a 2nd rounder for Reto Berra, but that’s certainly not to be expected.
