[Signing] Canucks sign Alex Chiasson


Recommended Posts

i feel like there's warm bodies on the FA market that would fit the Canucks' needs better and still be better than MacEwen, namely Bobby Ryan (better offensively) and Mark Jankowski (pretty good PKer) so i don't really like this move

 

saying that they must have felt he fit in the dressing room really well

It looks like Chiasson may slot into Boeser's position until he is ready to play, which I don't mind if it helps the other lines to remain consistent and build some combinations that they didn't get to do in camp. Once Boeser and Motte are back I'd like to see:

 

Miller Pettersson Boeser

Pearson Horvat Garland

Hoglander Dickinson Podkolzin

Motte Lammikko Highmore

(Chaisson)

having Chiasson in the top-6 during 5-on-5 makes me feel ill

If Boeser is out:

 

Miller-EP-Podkolzin

Hoglander-Horvat-Garland

Pearson-Dickinson-Podkolzin

Dowling-Petan-Chiasson

 

Actually might like Lammikko on either of those 4th lines too.

Podkolzin on the first and third line and Chiasson scratched! I like your style.

You're not throwing Chiasson out there as a shutdown guy.  The guy's pretty slow and will be going up against the other team's best and fastest lines.

This will result in not only Mac being waived, but someone else as well when BB is reactivated.  This is not a completely risk free signing.  Not the end of the world if someone gets waived/claimed, but not totally a free signing either as he takes a spot from someone.

Pretty sure with these moves they're just gonna go turbo offence and try to outscore our defensive problems. 3 scoring lines, 1 shutdown line. 

Garland-EP-Boes
Pearson-Horvat-Hoglander
Chiasson-Miller-Podkolzin
Motte-Dickinson-Sutter
Highmore, Lammikko

Pearson is slow too but Green likes him as a shutdown guy.

Yeah I don't think we'll see either Pearson or Chiasson on there, they're both too slow for my liking.  

 

I like BigTramFan's lines, except that I would put Highmore on the 3rd line and slide Podkolzin down (for now).
