Reminds me of how Markus Näslund always politely credits Keenan and Messier for his breakout during their time with the club, but I always wondered how (at least for Keenan) that was really all that possible. Keenan hated players like Näslund, did little to put him in optimal situations, didn't practice the power play, etc. It seems to me that's another case of a guy's natural talent helping him to overcome his circumstances.

Maybe Keenan being Keenan forced Naslund to raise his own game.

Kassian has increased his point production quite a bit since we got him.

ppg in the last 3 years

2011 - 0.18
2012 - 0.28
2013 - 0.40

If he increases at this 0.10 rate next year he will be around 0.50 ppg or 41pts over 82 games.
Him and Tanev are the only two players to increase their ppg each year since 2011.
