Not that this is really all that relevant, I guess, but what exactly have you liked about Chiasson? He has to be one of the most unnoticeable players on the ice and his numbers speak to him being an utterly replaceable 4th liner. When I watch him play I see a big guy who doesn't play like a big guy most of the time. Occasionally he will work the boards effectively or make a nice pass from behind the net. Then he won't do that again for 2 or 3 games.
If they can get anything for him (and I mean anything) take it and run. Complete waste of a roster spot. Prince should be playing instead of Chiasson. It's just ridiculous how out of their way this team goes to be inefficient in player usage.
the last 5 or 6 games (more?) he has been skating hard, and pretty fast, using his body, going to the net more, cycling better, battling, no dumb penalties.
He's been a good bottom 6 guy. he did climb out of the minuses too and is +2 (i know not a big thing but i've been seeing him do little things much better and that could represent it a bit. also has some good consistent linemates)
His line can't play much better. he is a third of the line, so...
