RW Jake Chiasson,6'1"165lbs (Brandon, WHL): 23gp/9g/11a/20pts,4PIM, 6th in scoring for the Wheaties. I haven't written about him yet, as I find him to be quite vanilla. Power-forward who battles in all the greasy areas, and plays with some physicality. He's got a ways to go in his development, so he's by no means a finished product, but it sounds to me like he looks to a background complimentary player, who right now is making a living riding the coat-tails of two talented line-mates in Ben McCartney and Ridly Greig. He doesn't seem to have any dynamic skills, or attributes, other than his hard shot, and ability to score in-tight. Decent straight-line skater, but all other aspects such as lateral quickness, agility, and acceleration, are lacking. Not high-skill in any area, and not particularly creative. I would say maybe take a flyer on him if he's still there in the 6th round, but otherwise-stay away. Just my opinion, of course.
