jovocop55 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Prust makes up his lack of skill with a professionalism not seen in Kassian thus far. The Canucks will probably retain him because he has good character, and will probably mentor kids in a way that Dorsett mentored Horvat. Horvat is currently on track to be our best player. probably dont think he will re-sign here... i remember he said he wanted to play in the east closer to his family (that was before the trade).. so pretty much this trade can end up for kassian (big power forward if he gets it right) and a 5th rounder for 1 yr rental..

BanTSN Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 probably dont think he will re-sign here... i remember he said he wanted to play in the east closer to his family (that was before the trade).. so pretty much this trade can end up for kassian (big power forward if he gets it right) and a 5th rounder for 1 yr rental.. If he decides to leave, then it will be too bad, but hopefully he mentors another young player in the meantime. I think he's going to be entertaining for us this season and it will be a shame to lose him. Not greatest with on-ice decisions, but a great character guy. I think the importance of not having Kassian around to show our young prospects an unprofessional path is underestimated. You can only get away with that if you have the skill of a Patrick Kane or win some Stanley Cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Perhaps try sparing the young man the judgement? Big deal - he was a passenger in a car accident. What guilt! Who here didn't/doesn't like to hang out with young women when you were/are that age (or any age for that matter). Day off. Of course he's going to be out chasing a life - he's hardwired to do so. Hope the injuries aren't serious. Agree completely.......this is not news, hockey players party. However, the optics are bad for Kass though.

BeefcakeBo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 On a more positive note at least he had the sense to not pull a Ryan O'Reilly and drive the truck himself. If the headline was Zack Kassian drives truck into tree and flees scene before being apprehended it would be a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He was asked by paramedics if he knew where he was, to which he replied “Quebec,” said Petrenko. Very good, Zack. Colour me impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 A 20-year old woman was driving the truck, which ran into a tree on Clanranald Ave. A 24-year-old man and 18-year-old woman were passengers in the vehicle, said Montreal police spokesperson Manuel Couture. Speed did not appear to be a factor in the crash, which took place around 6 a.m., said Couture. Old Zack...running around with 2 girls at 6 am during training camp...although it was an off day..but still. The point that he was out at 6 am period, (not jogging), at a critical point in training camp reflects the same problems Vancouver had with this guy. Jack Kassian is not a smart man. I'm not name calling here, I just believe it to be true. I don't think we'll ever know the details of the little things that happened in Vancouver with Zack because Vancouver managed him the best they could. They had baby sitters in holding him accountable which in the end was a flop. He did not improve on or off the ice. JB has a season that confirmed this guy had to go. Getting Brandon Prust's character and ridding the Canucks of a character might be one of the better moves JB made all summer. Now hes Montreal's problem and they better get him micro managed pretty quick, I already feel it's too late for this guy because he's just not smart enough to play professional hockey.

More evidence he's not grown up. He's out of passes. He's not smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 In Zack's case it continues. More evidence he's not grown up. He's out of passes. He's not smart. Bergevin is not the type of guy to give him too much rope either. It's honestly one more thing after this, and it might be as simple as showing up late to practice, and GMMB won't hesitate to waive him. It's that close with Zack right now, I'd wager.

lmm Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 never thought of it that way. It's illegal to not wear a seat belt but legal to jump in with a drunique driver. Seems legit. It brings to mind the story of Travis Bateman and Beau Stering et al. 4 guys all drinking and driving/riding. It was tragic as drunk driving death always are, but how was one any more culpable than the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm sure Zack and his girlfriends worked up an appetite. Hope the guy is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHoneyBadger Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 On their way to Patrick Kanes house? Seriously though, a professional athlete heading into game 1 of the season, you would think he would either be in bed sleeping or up training.

MJDDawg Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 First off, hope Kass and everyone in the car are OK. But I can't help but think that with Kassians' reputation, playing in Montreal, one of the best cities in North America to go to if you want to have some fun, won't necessarily a good thing for him.

I'm betting his lady friend is taking the fall for him. One thing IS for sure; this didn't take long to happen did it? So glad we got rid of this bum...

Del Zotto loves hookers. so him too. haha I was thinking about Torts don't forget O'Bwan Messier as GM Fuhr as Goalie consultant g.

It is pretty easy to find out for the police... there is bruising from the seatbelts etc and other injuries that are specific to where you are sitting.
