He was quite the energy player during some playoffs. Fond memories there

 

[Chainshot]

Good for him. I hope he has success there.

 

[SaltNPeca]

Nice, welcome to Europe Zach. Hope he has fun & success!

Sparta Praha plays Kladno (Jagr) next Sunday, hmmmm

Good for him. I hope he has success there.

Absolutely. Wonder if hockey brings some stability/purpose for him, hope stays healthy and happy.

Good for him. I hope he has success there.

I like this post.

 

[The Nuge]

Good for Zack. He looked pretty broken emotionally having to leave Edmonton last year. It really didn’t seem like he was enjoying hockey, so I figured he was done

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Trading buddy Hodgson needs to join him.

 

[archangel2]

he is on vacation and decided to make it a working vacation

Will always be fond of Kassian. Never thought I would be saying that after he broke Sam Gagners jaw lol. He was able to turn his career around after it almost ended and had a 700 game NHL career, was a legit top 6 player during the 2019-2020 season.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Joining a team near the top of the table but dealing with injuries to the bottom 6.

Be interesting to see if he can contribute at all.

Not a fan of this... someone warn Ondrej Kase.lol

 

[LTIR]

He now has to wait til 2026 for hall of fame induction eligibility

 

[RegDunlop]

Atta boy Zac.

Nice, welcome to Europe Zach. Hope he has fun & success!

Sparta Praha plays Kladno (Jagr) next Sunday, hmmmm

I will be at that game. Hope that Kassian gets in a scrap or two. On an unrelated note, Kladno is in a losing spiral now. Sad that Jagr will likely go out with a whimper instead of a bang with regard to his hockey career.

Don’t tell Chicago.

One fan was really happy to see Zach play for Sparta Prague last weekend!

The Czech Extraliga hockey IQ just dropped 5 pts.

The Czech Extraliga hockey IQ just dropped 5 pts.

But the broken jaws just raised by 50 pts!

 

[Cup or Bust]

If he could have consistently played like he did that one playoff game back in 2017, what a player he would have been. He was a decent player just not focused enough in one area of the game to really excel consistently.

Tranlsation: Mutually terminated contract and heading home to Canada.

I didn't like the idea at first so I'm not too broken up about it.

 

[UrbanImpact]

I definitely read that title wrong because i was like ..."debatable"

 

[UrbanImpact]

who would have thought that Cody Hodgson vs Zack Kassian saga continues in 2024.

But the broken jaws just raised by 50 pts!

Turtles in Prauge better watch out

I feel like the exclamation point is a bit much for this news.
