Mitchell Chaffee is a low-cost, top-nine depth forward with real finishing touch
Chaffee’s recent NHL production shows a useful scoring bump for Tampa Bay, with 13 points in 43 games in 2024-25 after 7 points in 30 games in 2023-24, while his shooting percentage jumped to 21.43% last season.[1] What makes him interesting beyond the box score is that he has turned a modest role into efficient offense at the NHL level, which suggests a player who can finish chances and complement stronger playmakers rather than drive the offense himself.[1][4] He is a fit if your team wants inexpensive depth scoring with upside, but not if you need a high-volume creator or physical shutdown center.[2][3]
