everything that is wrong with hf

You're kidding, right? A bit of a hot take that only missed the mark because a fan didn't remember exactly where a spare forward played? Come on.

I get you shouldn't post opinions about a player you don't know very well. I agree with that. But I think slinging insults based on something incredibly petty is something far worse on HF. You know, like you just did.

Good depth pickup here for the Oilers. Chiasson should be good for 10-15 goals.

 

[guzzy]

Good pickup for Oilers. They need some depth.

 

[yababy]

Both good signings.
Garrison for PP and Chiasson for PK

Good pickup for Oilers. They need some depth.

No kidding. In the worst way.

As this lovely tidbit sums it up:

Added a Western Conference player: "Take Connor away and Edmonton is the worst team in the league."

 

[Tobias Kahun]

No kidding. In the worst way.

As this lovely tidbit sums it up:

Take horvat away from the canucks and they are the worst team in the league.. Oh wait they are with him in the lineup.

As this lovely tidbit sums it up:

Every team would be a good bit worse if you took their best player away.

don’t get angry at me. These are the thoughts of a current player.

But I don’t care if we’re bad, we’ve been to the top and stayed there for awhile. It’s time to tear it down and start over.

Close to the top*

Twice as I recall, it was a riot both times

You'll have to forgive mouz. He doesn't post unless he's got something to criticize the Oilers about.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Solid foot soldier.

Chiasson has been excellent for a PTO. 8 goalsin 14 games.

 

[Johnnybegood13]

4th best forward on the team, only 28 years old and cheap. what's not to like about this.

 

[LTIR]

Nice free agent signing.. you win some you Looch some!

At this pace he'll be worth 4-6 times what he's already making which means we won't be able to afford him.
The Nucks will sign him to a 12M dollar deal over 3 years and he'll fail to put up 20 points over the first 2 years of the contract.
He'll be bought out before the 3rd year kicks in and he'll go to Arizona on a PTO and sign for about the same that he's making now.

Circle of life.

 

[OmniSens]

Good to see he's finding him game. He always had it, just didn't gem well in Ottawa.

 

[Hivemind]

He's shooting 42.1% right now.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Hopefully this incredibly unsustainable hot streak leads Chiarelli to lock him up quickly.

Usually I'd say this in jest but with Chiarelli, anything is possible.

I liked Chiasson in his time here, but the Flames really didn't have the room for him. I'm glad he did well in Washington and is doing well in Edmonton.

The biggest issue many had with Chiasson (which wasn't really his fault) was that he was often miscast, playing as high as the 1st line and as far as the 4th line/press box. IMO, he's a good bottom 6 who can play up into the middle 6 at times. I think if he's chatting with the Oilers, they should be chatting Zack Kassian money.
