I can't blame him . I hope he scores 50 points and sticks it up Bennings and Desjardins ass. But hey Willies boy Vey is still here to fill in as a power forward . This management team is a joke .
No shit.
So we give up the younger player, who is more talented, for a 31 year old 4th liner making $2.5M. AND we give up the 5th rounder?
Just a reminder to the bed pissers, what we got in return is the guage on what Kassians market value was. Obviously if Benning could have gotten more he would have
Hodgson and Kassian are suited for each other. At least we didn't lose financially like the Sabres

Prust and Dorsett is a pretty scrappy combination, both guys can play decent hockey for being two of the leagues busiest scrappers
Jake is coming... Pacific Blue take Blobs shoelaces away from him and talk him off the ledge Zack Kassian is closer to Brad Isbister than Lucic Prust is Heart and Soul Character guy and if you want youth quality people have to be around youth... Do you want Virtanen around Prust and Dorsett or Kassian???
Prust is character, good to have around the young kids. Kassian is not character. This is good for long term.
I'm sure Prust can be dealt as a solid playoff guy at the deadline for some decent return, e.g. 2nd/3rd.
A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
All our words from loose using have lost their edge.
If the idea is to tank, fine.
If the idea is to get rid of the negative attitude, laziness, etc. and not have the youth exposed to it, fine.
Even Prust for Kassian straight-up? Ok, I guess.
But to throw in a 5th too?
What the hell?!

Agree with the above posters, I get the idea of bring Prust in as a mentor for the young guys coming up, but why give up the 5th? Just don't get this trade.
