You probably mean Alex Chiasson....Steve Chiasson died 20 years ago.
He's arguably the Oilers MVP so far this season. Averaging 25:06 per game, he has the most TOI by any forward in the league so far (13th overall, with #1-12 all being defenseman). He takes most of the face-offs and is the most used Oiler forward on the PK. If you watched him play the last 4 games, you would see a complete all-around forward that works hard in all 3 zones. If he continues at this rate, he should be a serious consideration for the Selke
Or get points even when playing with an actual corpse.Mcdavid is good enough to revive players from the dead.
Hes definately the next Kopitar but better offensively a little worse defensively but they play a similar style.

Why doesn't this go both ways? EST games start 4:00PM on the west coast. Are people like racing home from work to watch east coast games?He's only underrated by the eastern folks people that watch him in the west realize how good he really is. Drai is the man for sure and him with McDavid or without is still a great player!!

East coast cities are renowned for going to bed early.They see enough of the Eastern teams while TSN and Sportsnet are running Leafs highlights 24/7.
Well, for what it's worth, I remember this conversation coming up in McDavid's second year and when extrapolated out, McDavid's 82 game point pace without Draisaitl would have been 97.I just don’t think it’s possible for a player on a Canadian team who hit 100 pts and plays with the best player in the league to be the most underrated. I just think there’s way too many eyes. You could make the argument he’s under appreciated but underrated?
Sure you remove mcdavid from draisaitl and mcdavids would drop, that’s true.
However if you remove draisaitl from mcdavid it is Leon’s numbers that would fall significantly more. And that’s been proven.
I’m not so sure how much mcdavids would, I mean it surely would because as you said great players help great players and I know I bring up Eichel a lot and I don’t want to talk about him dither this hen this but I have to for this example, he still produced when he played with girgesens And Rodrigues both at times on the first line at a very good clip. Superstars can produce no matter what but obviously they produce more with other great players.
Kuznetsov. Tarasenko earlier.Which comparables signed for 8 years?
Marner will outscore him this season.
Put 25,000 vbucks on it?
Tarasenko was signed two years earlier which makes a big difference. He's also not a Center and neither is Pastrnak. Pasta may make up that difference in the first two years of his next contract, he'll certainly get a ton more than 8.5. I bet Boston will wish they had given him more for an 8 year term when that day comes.Kuznetsov. Tarasenko earlier.
Pastarnak only signed for 6 years but do you really think if he signed for 2 more years BOS would have given him $28M more. Doubtful. Drai was overpaid when he signed but thats not his fault.
Nah... just not appreciated as much.
Underrated is Kopitar back in his rookie season. I would have given him the Calder over Malkin. You just knew he’d be something special but nobody watched the Kings back then.... they were baaad.
Then Barkov until a few years ago.
Now? I feel it’s Wheeler or Schiefele or Mark Stone.
He only produces like a top line superstar with McDavid.
In order to be considered a true Stanley Cup #1C he will need to spend an entire season away from McDavid and play at that level.
You like to throw this "stanley cup 1c" around a lot but do how do you even define it? You claimed st louis center depth is not nearly good enough to be considered contenders yet they won the cup. Now youre claiming draisatl isn't a 1c after he scored 50 goals?
But burns aND karlsoon are top 5 d. Your posts are a joke.
