Filling the roster with warm bodies. At least he's a legit NHL level 4th liner.

 

[Bench]

Hat tip to this guy who comes in out of nowhere and has just thrown up 2 goals and 2 assists in his last 3 games.

If he keeps it up, I wouldn’t mind him being our 13th forward next year. Someone needs to sit in the press box, and ideally it’s not one of the kids. Granted, im saying this without looking at who’s waiver eligible next year.

Up front? Probably just Elmer and Kasper.

Kasper shouldn't be waiver eligible.

 

[norrisnick]

Kasper shouldn't be waiver eligible.

I read that as exempt. As I assume that is what is being asked?

Yes, not sure why I said eligable.

 

[Reddwit]

Bertuzzi replacement.

 

[Sentinel]

He is good enough to be on PP. And score.

 

[HoweFan]

He’s out scoring Bertizzi, Vrana, and Hronek combined

I like what you have done here.

Wings are still at the same position, after promoting Chiasson.

He is better than Sundqvist.

On the powerplay.
His warts show in his own zone though.

It was a joke. He only played 3 games.

Alex Chiasson is a big body who's had decent goal scoring success in the NHL.
Over the previous four years he has 25 powerplay goals.
You know how many Red Wings can say that?

Larkin - 19
Kubalik - 11
Perron - 33
Bertuzzi - 15
Copp - 10

If this guy could play in his own zone at all he'd be a good guy to keep around.

It's good to see a guy get a chance to keep his career going - so good for him.

Putting up Hirose-like numbers

 

[DamonDRW]

Why no one signed them for the whole season? It is not like he is absolutely useless.
