-AJ- Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I'd say it's probably reasonable to expect somewhere around 15 goals and 15 assists if he plays all 82 games and gets notable PP time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about what I figure as well - assuming he plays the entire season and gets PP time. Once Boeser is back, I figure he slides down to the 3rd.

If he can pot 12-15 I’d be stoked, specially if it comes from pp and third line duty after BB6 returns. I could be mistaken but wouldn’t that outscore everyone from our bottom 6 last year?

I could be mistaken but wouldn’t that outscore everyone from our bottom 6 last year? It's a bit tricky to track since it was a shortened year, but if you remove the top 6 forwards in scoring, 7th place is Brandon Sutter, who scored 12 points in 43 games, but had 9 goals. That pro-rates to 17 goals and 6 assists for 23 points. Motte was scoring at a higher pace, but was injured more, only playing 24 games. Motte was on pace for 21 goals and 10 assists for 31 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 He's had a couple more fights than MacEwan, and clearly does the work necessary to hang on in this league, having cracked multiple teams via PTO's. Hell, he won a cup with the Capitals as a regular and played almost every playoff game. If you want a big body who can throw em and provide complimentary offense he's as good as anyone for 750k. For all the people bitching about MacEwen, he brings more than Mac ever did and that shows given his career numbers. By the end of this season he'll likely have played 600 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those injuries would have to be him, otherwise the other injuries will just make more room for him. He's the only one that can screw this up. He has a decent chance of staying on the 1st or 2nd PP. With that, he should get some decent points. Hopefully he can be consistent much of the season.

When Brock comes back there's a decent chance he'll be scratched interchangeably with Dowling unless there's more injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I have some deep suspicion he was hesitant to bury one against his old team the Oilers. But I’m distrustful of ex-Oiler players in Canuck uniforms ever since Messier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogersTowell Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Chiasson hasn't impressed me during the pre-season or the first regular season game. I really don't get why he got a contract at the expense of a younger player who has more long term potential. I truly hopes he proves me wrong though.

Kind of agree but he's very versatile, adds toughness and can hold his own in the crease, so I can see why the coaches want him around. He's also able to play everywhere from 1st line to 4th line without missing a beat. But yeah - at some point he does need to actually bring something else than shooting straight at the goalie ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Meh he's alright as an injury fill in. When Boeser gets back he will either be on the 4th line or in the press box. If I was him I'd be worried about job security. When your employer misspells your name on the back of your jersey it probably means your days are numbered...
