WHL rocks Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It depends on who the coach is next year and what direction the team decides to take. There is a good chance both players will get some time with the big club next year. Jensen could play 7 games before being sent down and Kassian will for sure get a call up even if he starts with he Wolves, like Tanev did last year. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I see both of them on the Canucks next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanwincup Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yeah he was an AHL All-Star but realistically whats going to be better for him? Playing 20 minutes a game in Chicago and developing slowly, or bringing him onto a team where hes likely going to be playing 10 minutes a game mostly alongside Malhotra?

Kack Zassian Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Kassian is not going to be playing in the AHL, he's going to get bottom six minutes with the Canucks with spot duties on the top 2 lines. He will learn more up with the big club, watching and learning, well getting some top line shifts playing against the best in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd84 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Jensen should be going back to Junior Kassian has a chance on making it again but I see him in and out of the AHL But again, they could have a great camp and find a spot on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I see no reason to rush either of these guys into the NHL. Both will get here. At times, when I read threads like this, I think some people are experiencing rookie envy. They look over at other teams like Edmonton or Colorado and the like who have these elite prospects playing very well in the NHL and they want to have one too. Be patient, X-Mas is coming and the big fat man will hand over lots of presents. And if it isn't Burke that the Canucks do a trade with then it will be Yzerman. Either way, good players are coming who will even further reduce the need to rush prospects like Kassian or Jensen. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Both players will not earn a top six forward role. Sorry, not ready. That's not to say Kassian won't get shifts here and there but nothing steady lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEwantCUP Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Detroit school of thumb, it's better to be overseasoned in the minors than to play and be underprepared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_pwnzor Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Jensen is from Denmark, that makes him a racist. Therefore I hope Kassian makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Schroeder has a spot open for him as Kes might not be ready to go a few weeks into the season, and it depends on if we're keeping Pahlsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kack Zassian Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I didn't say they would both be in the top 6, I just said trade Booth. Sedin Sedin Burrows Higgins Kesler Jensen Kassian Lapierre Hansen Weise Malhotra Volpatti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InSoM- Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'm expecting Kassian to breakout this season, or the one after - Jensen is a question mark; I thought he was good enough to make the team last season TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
