Alex Chiasson
When it comes to “sexy” options, this may be the least of the five in that view, but possibly the most believable. Yet another Right Wing, Alex Chiasson proved this past season that he has the ability to light the lamp if given an opportunity. Chiasson had his best season by far and could happily build on it in Boston.
The 6’4, 210 pound wing could add size to a team that was just beat up badly in the Stanley Cup Finals while all of a sudden proving his scoring touch is alive and well. With a career high 22 goals to continue off of, Chiasson could be a great fit either on the second or third line or even fourth line right side.
Chiasson has playoff experience and the physicality it would take to be a great fit on the Boston Bruins at a great price. He will not look to break any teams bank by any means. An annual average of just $1.5 million would hit the spot for him and especially the Bruins.
The fit seems too perfect to be true, the important thing is to just not over pay. Chiasson is a great, low money option if Simmonds, Perry or any of the other options to come demand more than they have earned the past few years. Expect him to be pursued if Noel Acciari moves on.
