Friedman: Zack Kassian given permission to seek trade

[ChaoticOrange]

Just said it a couple minutes ago. Edmonton has a glut of bottom sixers, Chiasson is easily an everyday player, and Cooper Marody hasn’t looked out of place one bit since his callup.

Any team out there need a fourth liner to protect their kids/starts and put up 15-20 points? Was great in the playoffs for us too.

Sustr for Kassian.

 

[780il]

He can take Benning with him as well.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Sustr for Kassian.

Nah. Sustr turns like a battleship, haha. Plus Kassian is the type of guy that’s a nightmare to play against when he’s got a bone to pick and id rather not have him running our guys six times a year.

That's quite the spin on Kassian lol.

He's a 4th liner who does nothing but take dumb penalties at key times. Hasn't bothered to show up since said great playoffs. Got his pay day and quit on the team.

2 years left at just under 2M for someone who is worse than useless.

At this point I'd take any other teams dump so long as it's not for more money/term. Don't care how bad the player is.

I’ve been in sales most of my adult life shhhhh.

Truth is getting a three year deal was bad for him. He got complacent. Maybe a trade will kick him in the pants again.

Saves a million on the cap this year and 2M next year?

The Oilers would be lucky to get such an offer lol. I'd take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

4th round pick for Zach Kassian

Leivo - Lindholm - Kassian

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Peter is going to buy him out isn't he?

Saves 600k this year. Sustr is a terrible hockey player 100% of the time. I honestly think some dinosaur GM is watching his team and bellowing MOAR TOUGHNESS in his luxury box right now.

Clean hit or no, Toronto could have used a physical response to the Matthews hit...

 

[Joey Moss]

Wouldn't expect anything other then a mid round pick. Don't think we really need another player back.

 

[Groo]

Send him to the east
The guy feasted on Shark

 

[Paralyzer]

4th round pick for Zach Kassian

Leivo - Lindholm - Kassian

Make it a conditional 4th, turns into a 3rd if the Leafs make it to the East Finals and you got yourself a deal.

That response wouldn't have come from Kassian.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

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

 

[780il]

4th round pick for Zach Kassian

Leivo - Lindholm - Kassian

Let's put a spin on it, 2nd + Kassian for Brown.




Ok, whatever I'll take the 4th.

Oh yes, yes we do.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Oh yes, yes we do.

Willing to move anything that would impact our lineup - or Bakersfield’s - positively?

A pick would be fine, but a prospect would be better.

Done

I didnt catch the segment, why's he seeking a trade?

But yes, I would move either pick or prospect, or both depending.

 

[LTIR]

So what does it mean? Is Chiarelli that last that he can't find a trade partner himself? Why is this permission being given to Kassian.

Didn’t say. Presumably because we’ve had younger players / Chiasson outplay him and make him expendable, and he doesn’t like not playing every night.

What kind of prospect were you thinking?

If I remember right the same kind of language was used before Yakupov got dealt.

I wonder if it’s Chia code for ‘we don’t really want to move you so I’m not going to work to do it but if your agent finds something I’ll think about it’

 

[DJN21]

Gladly take him back on the sabres.

Bailey or Beaulieu straight up?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Oilers would be happy with a pick
