Chiasson is not taking a spot, there simply is not room.
You are missing Boqvist. He is not getting thru waivers. Chiasson not taking his slot.
While Brown provides zero offense, he can play 4th line center, win faceoffs, kill penalties, very physical. Chiasson’s only value is on the PP so he’s not taking Brown’s slot either.
Unless they trade Forbort to free up the space for 23rd slot, Chiasson’s only shot is a significant injury to someone or he flat out beats Heinen and Greer for last FW slot, unlikely with his limited skill set.
