Whoa. Only 31? I thought he was 34. That’s encouraging. He’ll be 32 in two weeks. But better than 35 in two weeks.

Garland and Goligoski with great things to say about Chiasson:
“Chiasson’s former teammates believe that he could also help fill a leadership role.
“I can’t say enough good things about him,” said former Coyote Conor Garland, who played with Chiasson last season in Vancouver. “He would be such a great addition for that room. Great pro, great guy.
“We became close as the year went on. He was huge for us down the stretch and he will go down as an all-time favorite teammate for me.”
Garland said Chiasson possesses the “lost art of just going to the right places and scoring goals,” and he is also a fun teammate.”

Makes you winder why no team offered him a contract.
Salary cap been squeezing out the middle class hockey player for over a decade. Worse during a flat cap.

I don’t think he contributed much outside of net-front. Seems like half his production has generally been PP based and good teams can’t give him those minutes. Bad teams don’t want to add a 31 year old I guess.
It's not necessarily too late, so don't lose hope!
My suspicion (I could be wrong?) is that FLA is going to wait until Duclair comes back from injury to see if anyone else is going to end up on LTIR and alleviate their cap issues before parting with an asset now for Hornqvist. And that is the prudent and smart move, to be fair.

Guenther doesn’t have to beat out Chaisson. They perform two different roles. Guenther is a scoring top 6 forward. Chaisson is a bottom 6 grinder.

I think the success of both is highly dependent on RW PP2. I see this is as a direct competition for the same opportunity which represents the key to their success.

Good point but 5-5 is far more important to me. We need Guenther to make a statement on the second line and Chaisson to “hold the fort” on the 3rd or 4 th line. Both players can make the team.
