He didn't eat his wheaties

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Does he still play for edmonton lol

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

He's been DONE for a few years now. Good move by Holland to dump him.

You see, they award you a point if you score a goal or assist on a goal scored and apparently he's only done that once in 40 games this season.

Why do you think we paid to get rid of him?

That’s when Edmonton paid AZ to take him.

But most of the dumps AZ has accepted were pretty decent players for the team. Gostisbehere, Ladd, Stralman, Ritchie, Nemeth, etc.

 

[vancityluongo]

honestly good for him

 

[Coffey]

One of Holland's best trades

 

[TheOrangeDesk]

His offense isn't even the worst part of his game. This guy legit is the laziest defensive player in the league. Every year he's bottom if the league in shot blocks, he loses every single board battle and literally does not back check. So glad oilers dumped him

Every year, someone makes a "Biggest waste of talent" thread that inevitably brings up Daigle/Brendl/whoever, but Kassian has to be up there. You could see flashes of elite east/west vision when he was playing here in Vancouver with the Sedins, and he was physically dominant when he was on his game.

But he got caught up in the young dumb guy lifestyle, got kicked off the Canucks, then screwed up his second chance in Montreal - all right around the crucial development ages of 21-25.

He could have been a top 10 power forward in this league. A 50-60 point top 6 forward that could hit and fight. Work ethic and an inconsistency to play physical definitely held him back.

 

[Sharkbomb]

That's just one single more point than me this season! And to think I was called "delusional, insane, a true moron" when I claimed I could be an NHL player one day.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

He is shooting for 5%, compare that to his carrier average of 11.5
So he should have 2 or even 3 goal

Dumb post

This. Guy showed flashes that he could be our next bertuzzi but he got into personal life issues and didn’t put in the work to get there

 

[tarheelhockey]

He and Ullmark are going right down to the wire in the scoring race.

 

[I am Bettman]

Linus Ullmark has a higher goal/game than Kassian

 

[PensandCaps]

He plays in the NHL still?

 

[Voight]

12 points is decent?

Beat me to it haha

 

[Warden of the North]

So that makes him worth a late 1st in todays market

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

At least he has his looks to fall back on

 

[ForsbergForever]

And he's still got another year to go on his contract.

 

[rt]

12 points is decent?

Oh yeah. He worked his ass off. Stuck up for teammates, even dripping the gloves. Emotional leader of the team. Big in the room, helped the culture and cost almost nothing in actual cash.

 

[RipsADrive]

Holland signing him that 4 year deal right at the second highest watermark of his career was such a mistake and it was obvious even at the time.

I'll never forget how he played in that series against San Jose though.
