The org/Coop just doesn’t seem to believe in him for whatever reason. Healthy scratched him a bunch last year to go 11/7 even though we really needed the forward depth. I feel like he has potential as a fourth line guy, but they must not see it. I bet he’ll get picked up elsewhere
Gotta make room for the inevitable Paul and Crozier returns. If Chaffee’s not getting utilized it’s best for him to get ice time in Syracuse.
Dominic James, you are here to stay! (hopefully)
Chaffees been the odd man out for awhile now. The definition of just a guy. Wish him the best though, a team should claim him.
We waived Chaffee to keep Douglas LMAO
Not Magic Mitch!
I hope he gets claimed and it comes back to haunt us.
Hope he clears for later, but we really do have a lot of players in that bottom 6 role now.
Why does Elliott need to advertise this… like, come on. Stop looking over here 😅
Bye bye magic Mitch :/
This happens a lot.
For those who don’t understand, they are swapping forwards around like they do all the time. He’s gonna make it to SYR and get called back soon.
They’re trying to figure out lines that click.
If he gets claimed I’d bet they grab him back before
Dominic James basically plays the same kind of game, but smarter; his checks are more timely, he plays much better in his own zone. Chaffee always kind of felt like he was just scraping by in this lineup, especially towards the end of last season.
With a lot of teams already losing guys to injury, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him get claimed. He has good qualities. It’s possible he finds a fit in a different system.
So long I guess.
I really don’t know why a team would claim him, his stat lines aren’t overly impressive and he’s not a prospect anymore.
Should hopefully get a chance to bounce back in Syracuse.
About time
man I hate to see a guy like Chaffee go cause I really thought he was just getting started with us after last year but I guess not. I hope wherever he goes he does well but now with the emergence of James it looks like he can be a promising addition to the squad
I’m sad for multiple reasons. First, I have one of his scoring pucks so I was rooting for him.
Second he scored several goals on the PP last year and seemed like he had a decent shot.
He just couldn’t beat out James and now that we’re only playing 11 forwards, space is even more limited.
I still think he’s got enough talent to be a bottom six guy in the NHL but he needs to refine his game. Hits alone isn’t enough.
I liked Chaffee, he hits hard and had more goals last year than Glendenning and Girgensons.
Once Coop parked him last year, he wasn’t the same. Hopefully he goes to Syracuse and gets some confidence back.
Somebody will scoop the hit machine
Probably going to get picked up by FLA and turns into a 40 goal guy, knowing our luck.
it happens – he had an uphill battle to make it to the show with the injuries – he can play in this league, but our situation just isn’t great for him – he’s a guy who can play tenacious and can put himself in a position to get tap ins – decent wrist shot – but he’s not earning his spot like others are and he’s not a physical deterrent – especially if he just takes penalties. Sad, I feel for the guy. brutal fucking business, sports is
