linden has wanted him gone since day 1.
and from what i have heard it isn't all about 'off ice' issues.
i was told, for example, before a game they will tell Kas to focus on x (hitting, hard on the forecheck, whatever) and during the game they notice he -only- focuses on x and forgets about the rest of his game. so they thoroughly explain that to him, and the exact same thing happens again. coles notes; too stupid to coach.
such a shame, he has amazing hands and decent speed for a guy his size.
he should net something decent in return, he's one of those players organizations will roll the dice on.
