Because Beagle, Roussel, and Eriksson just weren't enough. We had to add one more.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Literally the most "He's a guy" kind of player that exists

 

[XX]

Always been a solid bottom six guy. Willing to fight, big body, right shot. Really can't argue with it if they like the character enough to give him a cheap contract.

He is willing to “fight” technically. Haha. But he’s maybe the worst pound for pound fighter in the league. I think he’s lost every fight he’s been in and they’re usually lousy fights. I think he even lost a fight to Sam Gagner once. Haha.

He’s a net from guy with size though and he doesn’t back down. This isn’t terrible by any stretch. He’s a fine PTO and I won’t be mad if they give him a cheap contract.

If he’s that bad at it but still willing to do it I like him even more. Probably a popular guy in the locker room.

Armstrong does like himself some size.

Guenther insurance?

Guenther insurance?

Maybe they don’t think Kassian can go the pre-season without a suspension?

Good point, Kassian insurance.

No, it’s because BA wants Guenther in the WHL, so we might as well fill his spot with someone who sucks and helps the tank

 

[Summer Rose]

He sucks.

 

[MIGs Dog]

He sucks.

Fit right in

 

[moosemeister]

Would’ve loved this signing like six years ago haha

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Cap floor padding with a large tank enabler. Very BA move.

 

[TheLegend]

He sucks.

It’s official then.

 

[jmelm]

He sucks.

That's the point, right?

 

[Summer Rose]

That's the point, right?

Exactly!

One would think, whether it’s a happy trend, Chiasson’s personal choice and analysis, or something in particular that he himself brings to the table, that whatever team he winds up with will at least be a strong contender for a playoff position.

One would think, but not more than 1.

I think that has shifted to “one team gave him the best combination of ability to crack the roster, and nice weather for hockey season”.

A potential filler to keep young guys in Tucson if needed

He’s harder for Guenther to beat for a spot than Carcone. So there’s that. Much more difficult measuring stick for McCartney, Jenik, Maccelli, etc.

He might make it easier to sell high on Ritchie too, should he get off to a hot start.

I’d rather this spot was occupied by a cap dump that came with an asset (Hornqvist, etc) - oh well!

 

[ck26]

Big body with some skill on a short-term contract. My kind of player. Welcome to Tempe, Alex.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Looking at his numbers and considering our bottom six options, he should be a nice fit. Only 31, so should still have some hockey left.

 

[YotesFan47]

Eh it's just a PTO. Guenther has all the opportunity in the world to make this roster, if he can't beat out Chaisson, Fisher, and Kassian than he doesn't belong here yet. Same goes for any other winger in our system.
