Friedman: Zack Kassian given permission to seek trade

[One Winged Angel]

That’s swell, but we aren’t moving 2 mil of useless for 6 mil of useless with more term without incentive to do so. You want to dump Staal on us, you’re retaining significantly and adding something nice.

Nah. I was just saying that's all I'd move Kassian.

 

[One Winged Angel]

You always have to take into consideration both teams needs. I get you may not want Kassian, but you can't just say "I don't care what your cap situation is". It's a reality and it has to be addressed in any proposal.

I'm not really taking this seriously.

I thought that was obvious.

Calgary could use an intimidation factor out there most nights.

Essentially, you can do whatever you want to Calgary. No one is going to do anything about it, and the powerplay will spend the night retrieving pucks.

Oilers wont be helping you in that regard :p

Agreed. Calgary getting slapped around and having no physical response with Ferland gone is nothing but positive for us.

I forget, who was that kid that William Lagesson filled in during the preseason - Lomberg? Tough little bugger. Lagesson broke his nose for sure and he popped right up.

Zack-ass is too slow for the NHL.

So you don't know the player at all . One of his best assets is his speed . Makes you look bad when you post lies

 

[DFAC]

Would gladly take him back in Van... he was mishandled by our stupid management/coach

You clearly don't know anything about Kassian if you think foot speed is an issue.

I don't get why you would take the time to post in a thread about a player you obviously don't know anything about.

Cehlarik for Kassian

If a trade does happen I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something like this. Not necessarily Cehlarik (although Chiarelli drafted him and has been rumoured to still like him since coming to Edmonton), but a middle-of-the-road prospect along those lines.

Sounds like a problem Edmonton doesn't want to help fix

4th liner? Lou should be all over this

Was he also given permission to retain on his own salary? Because retention is what it would take to move him, because no one wants to pay that for him as-is.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Kassian isn't worth more then a late draft pick.

Well it's more about absorbing him and his full cap hit next year. If he was a rental, there'd be a lot mroe interest.

If it weren't for the burned bridges, I'd like him back in Vancouver. It's a disgrace how Canucks treat people. Most orgs support a guy who is struggling. Canucks cast them adrift, again and again. Then, they wonder why they cannot attract players?

 

[Mr. Met]

If the Leafs don't win today you're going to see 100 leaf fans asking for him.

Leafs need Nylander not this scrub

Who's Nylander?

BTW: are you a Mets fan? I love the Mets!

250 posts for Zack Kassian....who knew...

Guy has been a complete disaster and almost cost us the win against Nashville for a completely unnecessary hit, borderline legal or not. He's honestly made Khaira worse both as his linemate and it seems even his energy level. I'd trade him for a 4th any day of the week.
