Jason in action vs. Montreal.
 
Scouting Report (from TSN):
 
Assets: Has blinding speed and excels at the forechecking game as well as penalty-killing situations. Can play either on the wing or at center.
 
Flaws: May not be able to produce enough offense in the big league. Needs to prove he can play an in-your-face style in the NHL.
 
Career potential: The jury is still out on whether Chimera will be able to produce big numbers at the NHL level. More realistically, he'll eventually settle into a third-line role similar to that of current Oilers teammate Todd Marchant.
