Samuel Påhlsson Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 If the September 15th deadline passes and NHL begins another lock out, then I think it is safe to say Zack Kassian will be playing for the Wolves. Now a lock out in general is bad news because there is no Canucks hockey. But for Zack Kassian it might be just what he needs for his development. After all a full AHL season couldn't hurt where he will likely get top line minutes and 1st unit powerplay time. Last season he was great for Rochester posting 15 goals in 30 games. This might help Jordan Schroeder as well who would likely see another full season in the A. Schroeder has never really had a big power forward on his line while playing in the AHL and I think a line of Sweatt - Schroeder - Kassian would be very effective. So my question is do you like the idea of maybe some of our more ready prospects like Kassian, Schroeder, Lack spending another season in the AHL or would you rather see them in the NHL if there isn't a lock out.

Smashian Kassian Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I wanna see Kassian in the NHL for sure if there isn't a lockout. I think he would be very good in the AHL if there was but NHL for sure. As for the other's I would like to see Lack backup Schneider and I want Schroeder to be given a good opportunity at a spot with the big team. But for me the most important thing is whats best for the player, if they would benfit more from another year in the AHL or for making that jump finally to a full time or even "part time" NHL spot then that's what I think we should do.

Spencer Drew Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Mhm. Kassian will eventually be the perfect player, perfect power forward to complement the Sedins. The Sedins need someone to stick up for them and Kassian will do that and create more space for them, he's gonna be a star, can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 If we're giving up that much, I expect Kane to be part of the package alongside Toews... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 If the players are ready for the NHL, then they should play there. If they need more development, then that's what they'll get. Schroeder will likely stay in the AHL next season anyway after Kesler comes back. If Kassian struggles, I doubt AV will make him the next Niederreiter.

UFCanuck Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We could Bobby Ryan/Max Pacioretty him. Put him in the AHL to start the season and call him up if he starts ripping it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahf149 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I also think that Lack could use another year down in the AHL. Even his agent said so himself. So if there is a season next year, I can see him in the AHL. Can wait to see what Kassian evenutally brings to this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_pwnzor Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't think Zack's ready for NHL duties, much rather have him play in the AHL for another season, see him build some chemistry with Schroeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 A lock out will be good for Kass and Shredder and Eddie. Of course,the owners will get what they want and the players have to do their best and the fans will be left in the lurch yet again. I wish I could watch some European or Russian hockey,sometimes.

ice orca Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 If there is a season wait untill training camp and preseason is over. Kassian might surprise a few people that want to see him fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of the ES Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This exactly.... I think it would be a good situation for Kassian to be a star player and put up points consistently with Chicago.... not just a fourth liner where all he needs to do is hit and fight with the big club on the 4th line.
