Kassian sent down to the wolves

Just a thought, but if Kassian was cleared to play by the doctors but continues to say he's not ready to play as has been reported in the media, then perhaps he was sent down to Chicago not on a conditioning stint, but instead to make room for someone who is ready to play.

If Kassian feels he's not ready to play then let that be in the minors.

"this year they have struggled to score with an AHL lineup most of the year.''

- I'm not aware we've had more injuries than the average team... certainly nothing as bad as Ottawa. Apart from Kesler, the top six forwards have been in the lineup all year.

- a main reason the scoring has dried up is only one good play making center. (Loss of Salo and his passing ability also hurts.)

- see this basically as conditioning... though I don't think Kassian is NHL ready at this point.

Honestly this was a bit overdue. He hasn't had a point in how long now...send him down, let him get in shape after sitting out, regain some confidence, and bring him up. It seemed to work for Schroeder. He wasn't TERRIBLE but he could use a confidence boost.
