Player Discussion Zack Kassian

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I think I'm going to buy one regardless. I damn near did last year. Even if he isn't here in 20-21, I'd have no issue wearing the jersey. Unless of course he does the same thing as Lucic and goes to Calgary. That signed Lucic jersey will be in the closet for a very long time.

Mine aren’t signed but I’m giving my 2 away lol. I have a signed Lucic framed photo the Oilers gave me, that is going to the neighbours and his man cave. He’s a Flame now. Dead to me.

Yeah a Kassian in the new blue or perhaps the old home blue.

 

[Faelko]

Damned would that be huge if he got his game there.

Obviously would need to stay in the top 6 but I just have this feeling him and Tippett are gonna mesh.

I live south of Calgary and have been trying to give away my Lucic T-shirt to every Flames fan that used to mock me about Lucic having the worst contract in the league...sadly no takers yet....

My sympathies.

I think the one thing Kassian has going for him that a lot of the other wingers don't is he brings something to the table if he isn't scoring.

We've heard it for years that if you aren't scoring you need to do something. A lot of our guys in the past if they weren't scoring were useless.

While Kassian didn't last night, he did play PK last year. He hits, fights and will battle. Doing those things will win you over with the coaches and give you more chances to play than a guy that doesn't score, doesn't pk and doesn't battle.

I had a chance to trade it for a Bruins one last year. I should've. I still respect what the guy did in Boston and could at least wear it or pin it up on my wall.

I was a huge fan of his. If mine were signed I’d probably keep it as well.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

Kassian is built like Lindros, can score, fight and play on all 4 lines. There are only like 3 or 4 of these guys in the league and this is the type of guy you win Cups with. I’m hoping to see Drai pass the cup to him, it would be such a fairytale ending after all the hell he has been put through.

Dude was really good last night. Keep it up Zach!

You have way to much time on your hands.

Take it easy there. Lindros.......well why stop there? I guess Nurse is our pronger and bouchard is McInnis.

he said "built like Lindros"

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Only thing that scares me about signing a longer term contract with Kassian is the fact that he's nearly 30. However working in the Oilers' favour is those physically "go to the net and score" guys really haven't gotten paid recently: Maroon (x2 offseasons), Ferland, Chiasson, and even Vanek sort of fits that niche.

Personally I give him a contract similar to what Ferland got from Vancouver or Connolly from FLA.

 

[snipes]

How do you guys not know that Todd from Leduc is Flames fan parody account?

 

[ThePhoenixx]

6'4" 240+
6'3" 211

After his amazing game yesterday it should be easier to find a taker

 

[McTrashBoat]

6'4" 240+
6'3" 211

And? He compared physique, doesn't mean he was right but you compared players

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Lindros was a tank. Not a medium one. He was a full on German Mouse.

So by his logic...

6'2" 185 is like 6'3" 211.

Now when people are comparing and they say 1 is like 2 which is like 3, they think that these three are relatively close. Perhaps some differences.

Would you say that...

6'2" 185

6'4" 240+

are 'like' each other or do you think it may be an exaggeration?

Are we sure it’s parody or is Todd just....from Leduc? (aka kinda simple)

You’d think...oddly enough no calls have been returned...

 

[Captain Controversy]

The Oilers will hoist the cup. Kass deserves it.

Dont know where you're 185 from

 

[ThePhoenixx]

It was off the top of my head.

The difference between 211 and 240 is 29 pounds.
The difference between 211 and 185 is 26 pounds.

I rounded down the difference to make up for the differences in height. A proportion of 6'2" to 6'3" is greater than 6'3" to 6'4".

I thought the three pounds made up for the difference in ratio.

 

[Little Fury]

As someone from Leduc, I just want to say that I find this remark incredibly accurate.

 

[Beerfish]

I have liked Kassians game since he came here but his recent success like Chaisson and maroon and rattie etc etc before them is totally reliant on mcdavid.
