Shortly after selecting Luca Munzenberger with the 90th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, the Oilers made their second selection of day two. The Oilers have selected center Jake Chiasson with the 116th overall pick.<\/p>\n
Chiasson appeared in 23 games with the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings in 2020-21, collecting 20 points (9 g, 11 a) and a +12 rating. It was a strong bump in production for Chiasson, who scored just 15 points (5 g, 10 a) in 60 games with the Wheat Kings in 2019-20.<\/p>\n
A native of Abbotsford, British Columbia, Chiasson will return to Brandon for his third WHL season in the fall.<\/p>\n
Chiasson was ranked 61st by NHL Central Scouting when it came to North American skaters.<\/p>\n
