Alex Chiasson is not a top six forward.
Over halfway through a season in his career as a Calgary Flame, I think that's a pretty fair statement to make. He has 14 points - seven goals and seven assists - through 47 games, which is 13th in team scoring, behind noted healthy scratch Sam Bennett.
The clear difference here: more is expected from Bennett than from Chiasson, even though it's Chiasson seemingly being gifted into a top spot on the team.
