Jarventie will likely miss camp, so his next camp will be his last chance to secure an NHL role before facing waivers. I am guessing that played a role in the move

Not sure the streets count as confimed, lol.
Here's the official confirmation
Scouting report when they were drafted
Xavier Bourgault(1st round 22OA 2021):
An offensive winger who thrives with his off-puck movement and ability to find space. He locates his shots well and has shown more and more creativity as he’s matured as a player.
Jake Chiasson(4th round 416oOA 2021):
A bit raw at this point, plays a gritty and tenacious style. Good shot and makes smart passes in the offensive zone. Good complementary winger on a scoring line.

I can honestly say I feel nothing about this trade, so I’m guessing that’s a good thing.

Staois continues to put his stamp on the organization. I don't completely hate it at face value, but the targets do seem odd. Neither one of Bourgault or Chiasson have shown much since going pro but it's clear Staois would have had a nice pre-draft grade on these two. It's 2 bodies in and one out so by default it's going to add depth and roster competitiveness to Belleville.
On the other hand I didn't have a ton of hope for Jarventie at the NHL level here and a 4th isn't much to give up if one of Bourgault/Chiasson end up with a cup of coffee in the league. Hopefully Jarventie can thrive in Edmonton but from an Ottawa perspective I think this makes sense. Not a huge W but not a loss, just Staois shuffling the deck chairs and building the team (both current and future) in his vision.

I think the odds of most people here watching enough AHL along with junior to have an informed opinion on all pieces involved is pretty low. Some of the negativity of the trade is going to come from us giving up a pick when we already have so few, and most people likely view Jarventie and Bourgault as comparable, plus have never heard of (not Alex) Chiasson.
I suspect they like Chiasson and the logic is that they would rather give up a 4th for a player a few years into his development than use the 4th at the draft, because they need players who can be role players and compete for NHL spots over the next 1-3 years.

I wouldn't put much faith into hockey DB weights for AHL players.
He was 185 at training camp last year.
Decent low risk trade. Jarventie was a waste of a pick when Peterka was available and hasn't been able to break out for us. Granted he's still cooking and is probably our 4th best prospect. Maybe Jarventie can find a top 9 scoring role in EDM down the road and Bourgault will get a chance to develop in a different environment and try making some noise for our bottom 6 as a call up in a year or two.
Not sure why we did this.
Bourgault is the same age as Jarventie but just had a much worse season.
Jarventie put up 20 points in 22 games, Bourgault put up 20 points in 52 games.
Also Chiasson is a bust. Couldn't even make their AHL team and we threw in a 4th for some reason.

Lol,
We're upset for taking Jarventie over Peterka, Oil were upset for talking Bourgault a pick before Wyatt Johnston

This looks like a horrible trade for Ottawa. Why did they add the pick?

Thank goodness there is some sort of logical explanation for this trade.

Basically a boom/bust prospect with 3 camps before waivers in exchange for a (arguably better) boom/bust prospect with 1
I dont really get why 4th and Chiasson were involved but maybe he will surprise us

Oiler fan, peace, etc.
I'm very curious as to how Bourgault develops in another system. Bakersfield's head coach is extremely conservative and none of our young forwards have had good years under him and he favoured giving slugs like Caggiula and Griffith powerplay time over younger options.
The D and goalies are progressing well, but pretty much nobody up front has taken a step forward.
