Well here we go.
I'm looking forward to what he can do in the NHL.

What are the lines going to be next game?
Purcell-Drai-Hall
Pou-Nuge-Ebs
Korpse-Letesu-Kassian
?
You can put a lipstick on a pig all you want but at the end of the day Kassian has never been a banger, grinder, physical present. That's what's frustrating about him. He has the physical mold but very rarely or consistently uses it.
If you want him to succeed he needs top 6 role of he will be waived by All Star break when McD, Yak etc comes back.
Can't wait until we get McDavid back and we stop having a 4th line center playing in the 3rd line role.
Cool. Can he play defense?
Not really. In my opinion, he wasn't terrible or costing his team ala Cody Hodgson (sorry, don't really know which Oiler would compare) but he's not quite average either. He may be out of position on the odd occasion but nothing egregious I would say.
Even though he doesn't rush the net with the puck often, if someone else is carrying the puck on the rush, he'll be the guy that goes to the net and takes a defenceman with him. Could be good with Hall on the other wing, knowing how Hall likes to carry the puck.

I actually like this idea.
Hall-Drai-Kassian is a cool idea for a line. Atleast until Mcdavid comes back.
If he goes back down does he have to clear waivers?

I like it. Many ppl will say he isn't ready. But whatever right? Maybe he can be a spark plug this team needs to wake up because whatever they're doing now obviously isn't working. Lol.
I would rather keep Purcell on the top line with Hall. Our season is basically kaput and keeping Purcell with our best player will get him points which makes him a valuable asset at the TDL. I hate how he plays though.
