4th was probably the most valuable piece, as it's a completely blank slate.
It was a Staios, as well as a De Blois move; he obviously had an interest in those guys from his time in Edmonton, and I'd think it wasn't that Chiasson cost a 4th, but that Bourgoult cost more than Jarventie. Think he still carried a sliver of value around the league. De Blois, who I think is probably the best scout they have on the staff at the moment, had Bourgoult for 2 years in Shawinigan and would have been the guy drafting him.
Chiasson seems like a Sebrango type prospect, shuttle back and forth from thw AHL/ECHL for a few years and then settle as an AHL lifer, we can hope for a resurgenece into an NHL prospect from Bourgoult with a new system and development path.
Jarventie I don't think had much of/any future in Ottawa, had a great toolkit, but wasn't putting them to much use, and I'm not sure how much he ever would in Ottawa. I loved his profile, really liked the pick when looking at what he "could become" but it's just another example of the Sens scouts drooling over size and tools and "potential" to become good instead of just looking at who the best players actually were
