Hamhuis2 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not me... Kassian's real test will be early next season (whenever it is) when he gets a crack in our top 6 for a bit. So far...I think he's passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 WARNING: this ain't pretty Let's not forget that Kassian was hand held by the Sedin's in the off-season to try and get his training habits in shape (not a good sign), and even went on to be a healthy scratch in 1 (or more, I'm not sure) game, also (clearly) not a good sign. Who else is concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Clear the track for the Zack Attack!!!! Good thing I have the 1970 Retro Jersey at number 9 with no name. Works for Hodgson or Kassian . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Are all of you people actually surprised that he is producing and doing all the things expected of him? No-one saw this coming? Most people have just been sad about maCody being dealt for next-to-nothing and labeled Kassian as a GMMG mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kass9 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Now that Kassian's essentially played the same amount of games in the AHL this season as he did last, I thought I'd have a look at the numbers to see how exactly he's "developing" (generous term). WARNING: this ain't pretty 2011-12: 30 GP, 15 G, 26 P, +4, 94 SOG, 31 PIM 2012-13: 28 GP, 6 G, 18 P, -1, 72 SOG, 59 PIM By my calculations, this amounts to the following data comparatives:60% year-over-year reduction in goals31% year-over-year reduction in points18% year-over-year reduction in SOG/game90% year-over-year increase in PIMs. And, to be honest, the two things that are of the most concern to me are the decline in SOG and the increase in PIM. There's really no explanation for getting less SOG as a 22 year-old AHL sophomore than as a 21 year-old AHL rookie. And this SOG figure is even inflated, as Kass did have 7 SOG last game, bringing up his average significantly. And while it's nice that he does seem willing to throw the body, at times, and drop the gloves, at times, I really hope that we didn't trade Cody Hodgson for a bottom-six goon that will be lucky to get 5 - 10 goals per year in limited minutes. I'm beginning to wonder if Kassian has a bit of "Kyle Beach" in him; capable of so much, too stupid to realize it and in the penalty box way, way too much. Let's not forget that Kassian was hand held by the Sedin's in the off-season to try and get his training habits in shape (not a good sign), and even went on to be a healthy scratch in 1 (or more, I'm not sure) game, also (clearly) not a good sign. Who else is concerned? No one cares about your sh!tty calculations and stats are for losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
