I'm ok with this, at least it allows our goalie prospects to play more games at the AHL level. Kassian could stay at the AHL for the rest of the year, and it's still a decent move.

All right. Expected this. Honestly we won this deal big time if there will ever be a winner. Kassian has potential and Scrivens is a joke.

Ya, we traded nothing, and got back a gritty ~30 point guy

 

[Kolja]

Sort of a "can't loose" deal. We didn't need Scrivens. Kassian could be usefull. If not, who cares.

 

[syz]

Gazdic's last few games probably sealed the deal.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Is there a link to the 24% retained amount?

Edit: nm, my browser is slow apparently.

 

[McBaevid]

Rather have Kassian than Gazdic, hopefully Kassian has his problems figured out

 

[Timo]

Good stuff. Can't really lose.

 

[McSomnii]

Well, this trade essentially amounts to trading one type of garbage for another type of garbage.

Can't say that this was a loss, at least :}~~~~

It feels weird to have Kassian on our team.

Such a pain to play against when he was in Vancouver, just absolute garbage of a player.

If he can sort himself out in the AHL and prove he's good enough for our team, he's worth a 4th line shot and Scrivens getting moved is great. Good move Chiarelli.

Kassian and Hall were teammates in Windsor so it's possible Hall had some input on this one.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Played with Hall in Windsor. I hope that has positive ramifications.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

It's probably an inconsequential deal but I like it.

The guy was on waivers recently so it's not this big coup that we got him for Scrivens.

 

[syz]

Has to be his last chance at this point.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

This also explains the Oilers supposedly rescinding their loan agreement with Laurikainen. He comes back and gets Scrivens' spot in Bakersfield.

 

[Spawn]

Really no lose. Scrivens was never going to play another game here. Give Kassian 1/2 dozen games in the minors to get his legs under him and then call him up if he seems ready.

And from a mtl perspective, scrivens can maybe rebound and provide some veteran goaltending while price is out. He had a good December in the ahl.

 

[Spawn]

Played together for only like 20 games though yeah? Doubt they know each other all that well if that's the only place they know each other from.

Kassian was effective last year putting up 16 points in 42 games. Huge guy and a great skater. He sort of reminds me of what Pitlick could become if everything panned out for him. Kassian, when he wants to work, works his ass off. Like someone mentioned earlier, you can tell he is a pain to play against. He'll look to headhunt, cheapshot etc when he needs to or someone tells him to. Great speed for a big guy and some soft hands too.

If Chiarelli and Mclellan can convince him to use his body and lay people out more often, this could be a real special player for us.

Honestly he could play with McDavid and Pouliot, he could play with RNH and Eberle, he could play with Hall and Draisaitl, or he could play with Hendricks and Letestu. He's a very versatile player when he's on his game.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I just want to imagine Chiarelli standing firm.

"No Marc, we will not retain 25% of Scrivens' contract"

 

[PaPaDee]

So, since he was just waived and cleared does he need to be waived again to be sent to Bakersfield? Or does the previous waiver still count?

He goes straight to the AHL.

 

[13jetoil39]

Solid. But we need more trades. The loss last night pissed me off. Get tougher and better D

haha.

This is... a sort of whatever trade for me.

I've never liked the guy, but then, he's never been on a team I like, so there's that.

Maybe he turns it around in the AHL and eventually makes the team. Size is good. I don't know, man.

On the plus side losing Scrivens is nothing. so it's all good.

Wish him the best of luck, too.

he was assigned to the AHL--even though he did not report--so he does not have to be on wiavers

 

[dd91]

Very happy with the move. We lose absolutely nothing and I hope Kassian understands that this is his last chance and does something about it. I'm seriously fed up watching our butter soft squad get pushed around.
