I still thought it was too much money for Chiasson. For a guy that had a career year and a track history of less than 20 goals per season you could of had him 1.5AAV for 2 instead of 2.15. However in the end it's fine when you're talking about a few hundred thousand quid.
*for the record I have no idea what a quid is, except that it's used in saying in the same vein as dollars. Not sure the denomination of quid either.. but I juxtaposed the relationship.

If you look at the market and how much money and term bottom 6 guys were getting, I thought the Chiasson contract was pretty decent.

A lot of people have said this to me. I'm probably in the minority but I remain steadfast saying he is paid too much. It's all just an opinion really, right or wrong. I hope Chiasson proves me wrong.

I think 2M is probably the bare minimum for anyone that scores 20 goals. The responsible thing for a team to do when it's a career high though is to try to get the term down as much as possible. I think we at least managed that. Connolly is very similar to Chaisson in how their careers have gone, and look at the deal he got.
That's one good thing about this summer at least. We were not tossing around term like idiots. The plan has to be to try to have some wide open cap space in 1-2 years to try to make big improvements. Gotta at least do something to try to make playoffs now, but there has to be some huge improvements in the last halves of McDavid and Drai's contracts if you want those guys to stick around. There is next to nothing that can be done this summer to change this team into a sure contender without selling off some good prospects and 1st round picks. it's just too early with the mess Chia left.
