Shift-4 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Good Luck, Zack! I wish him well. Just not when he faces the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 50-goal-a-season pace from now on. Just watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hah, had a bet he'd get 15 goals this season before he was shelved. Here's hoping Anyways, regardless of how we feel about him, Benning, trades or Cody we should all be able to easily hope his past is behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Oh and everyone who complained about the Prust trade? Well now it's a done deal... it was Prust for a straight 5th round pick, which is a bargain. Jim Benning could easily flip Prust right now probably for a 3rd round pick. So Jim Benning made a GOOD DEAL. Take that, haters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintPatrick33 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hopefully he puts it together and is able to get another shot. I still am haunted by his potential, he could have been the next Bertuzzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just what Zack can accomplish when he's not hopped up is anyone's guess. Let's hope he can stay off the goofballs so we can see what he's really got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Passed waivers. From out point of view, it's good that Zack's still in Montreal's system, but not so much from his. They aren't going to show any lenience and I'm betting they don't qualify him when his contract is up. Maybe at that point someone will take a chance on him.

The only chance he gets back in the league is if his contract is mutually terminated so that someone can take a 800k chance on him on a 2 way contract.

As I recall, his contract is up at the end of this year, at which point he's RFA. If he isn't qualified then he becomes UFA. Maybe there could be a mutual agreement to terminate beforehand, like with Sestito. But once he's UFA, he could even go at league minimum (575,000?) and 2-way would be pretty likely since it doesn't look like any bidding war is about to happen.

He's an addict, who will most likely never recover. It's sad, because we all loved the guy, but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad, because we all loved the guy, but it's true. Some people are comfortable with predicting the future, while some of us prefer a "wait and see" approach. I don't want to speak for Maniwaki, but I assume that his suggestion was with the caveat that Kassian demonstrate a change in attitude and a commitment to sobriety.
