Chiasson was acquired with Xavier Bourgault from the Edmonton Oilers in the summer of 2024. He split the 2024-25 season in the ECHL with the Orlando Solar Bears (20 games) and in the AHL with the Belleville Senators (19 games). He is entering the final year of his three-year entry-level contract originally signed with the Edmonton Oilers on March 19, 2023. He will have to dramatically improve his offensive production and overall game to earn another NHL contract. Zero points in 24-25 with Belleville. Nowhere but up for Chiasson in 2025-26 if he can stay in the AHL to start the season. He did not fare much better offensively in the ECHL last season either; he produced one goal and six assists for the Solar Bears. Chiasson is not anywhere close to being a fantasy option and does not need to be considered for a roster spot in any fantasy hockey league.

Chiasson did not play much last season but still recorded a respectable six goals and 18 points in 20 games. Given that this player has not played a lot of hockey in the previous two seasons, it is tough to gauge exactly where he is in his development. With a lot of the Brandon Wheat Kings’ top players set to move from the team due to age, Chiasson and 2023 draft-eligible Nate Danielson are set to potentially be two of the go-to offensive players for the Wheat Kings. It will be interesting to see how Chiasson handles more responsibility.

A bit of a sleeper to some, Chiasson can play as a power forward and will become more effective in that regard once he adds more strength to his body. He moves well around the ice, but his skating is a bit unorthodox, partially due to his lack of strength. He competes well in battles and has underrated offensive instincts. He was a complementary player on a strong Brandon Wheat Kings’ top line, but if you go in expecting that he benefits from his linemates, he will likely surprise you. Chiasson has the potential to be one of the Wheat Kings’ offensive leaders soon. He was injured on the first day of Oilers camp, so he has yet to play a game for the Brandon Wheat Kings this season.
