New York Islanders Jason Chimera Good, Bad, And The Ugly

So why did I pick New York Islanders Jason Chimera for this? It seems random to take an aging veteran to dissect. But that’s exactly why I took him. Because for his age he still has surprising upside to his game.

The Good

The obvious good from Jason Chimera is his production. Last season, even after a slow start to the year Chimera put up 20 goals and 33 points. For a third/fourth line player that’s a great return.

And his price point makes that return even better. Remember that Chimera, who signed as a free agent in 2016 is in his second year of a two-year $4.
