Just because you're tough against the Oilers does not mean you're tough.
Ouch!

Yes. He's not there to replace Gazdic. Hopefully he's replacing someone in the top 6. That's where we need him.

Stick Chair is then traded to Montreal and immediately becomes their #3 defenceman. League opinion of Stick Chair rises.

Once every dozen games... and really... only one would I "credit" him with. We can't have Ebs and Nuge on that same line... might as well bring in Sammy Snowpants and make it a Smurf reunion!
I'm the LAST fan to advocate hitting and toughness (hitting is overrated), but I want players to be strong on the puck like Khaira and Draisaitl. You sneeze and Eberle gives up the puck.
How do you feel about him being the only forward on the team to consistently be productive for the last nine games? And that he has 18 points in his last 18 games.

Would have been so much more fun though if the Oilers would have got shut out last night. Could have turned the game off early and watched Netflix.

Kassian needs to play top 6 and PP time. Otherwise he won't succeed or be motivated. If he has a banger physical role then the Oilers will be disappointed. He will provide it for about 1 game then he will revert back to wanting to play a skilled game.
All the best to him , just have realistic expectations. He is not gritty, tough, or physical. He has nice hands, can protect the puck and make nice passes

Sa-weet! I have niinimaas McFarlane 3rd and took the name bar of once Pronger came over.
Time to dust it off
Obvious recall is obvious. I couldn't believe the number of people who thought he was going to spend significant time down in the minors. This was about him getting into game shape. Not about punishment, or penance or recovery or whatever else people were advocating for.
Kassian went through his recovery process by missing 3 months of NHL hockey. Any continuing treatment can and will be done just as effectively in the NHL as it would in the AHL. Assuming he's in game shape he should be playing in the NHL.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing these lines tomorrow:
Hall Drai Eberle
Pouliot Nuge Yakupov
Purcell Letestu Kassian
Korpi Lander Paks

I disagree entirely. Kassian should be and I'm betting will be grateful and motivated to be back in the NHL in any role.

Doulos is probably destroyed by this announcement.
I like it. Hopefully he is actually read and its not a panic move. Excited too see what he can do.
