Toews Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 My guess is he lands with one of Toronto, Columbus, Buffalo or Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocanuck Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I was a big fan of what zack could bring to the team but no way does vancouver take him back. May have had his last chance...shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Listening to the fan 960 and flames fans are drooling at the chance to sign Zack. Nothing would be worse to see a rival sign him and him become an effective player for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Zack was into stuff that was more than just alcohol and having fun that way. I don't know what his drug of choice was, but it must have been a bad one, and his friends, teammates, and family certainly tried to help him - sadly without success.

qwijibo Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 He cleared (as per Elliot Friedman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 No surprise. There's no way he's close to being in game shape. A 14 day conditioning stint wouldn't have done much good.. He's in the best place he could be right now. Down in the AHL where he can work on getting his game back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'm a bit surprised he cleared, but it is consistent with his trade value last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sorry to see him leave because of his potential, but also happy to see him leave as I didn't want him around our other young players if he's not serious about hockey.

higgyfan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Not a single team wanted him. People around here really underestimate the horrific effect addictions can have on an individual. Montreal and Vancouver have the complete story on Zack and it is likely a long, adventuresome one. Zack will toil in the AHL and hopefully continue to enlist professional help with his addictions. Maybe he will get to play in the NHL again one day. At the very least, I hope he conquers his demons and can have some happiness and good health in his life.

nuckin_futz Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Habs send Kassian to AHL after clearing waivers, say he’s not a ‘priority’ Twenty-nine NHL clubs passed on claiming troubled Montreal forward Zack Kassian off waivers today. And the 30th doesn’t appear to have any interest in him, either. After the Habs announced Kassian cleared waivers and was assigned to their AHL affiliate in St. John’s, head coach Michel Therrien offered this rather blunt assessment of where the 24-year-old stood: "There are a lot of players ahead of him right now in the organization. He's not my priority" - Michel Therrien on Zack Kassian going to AHL Yesterday, Kassian was reinstated from Stage Two of the NHL’s Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program. Almost immediately afterward, the Habs put him on waivers. Kassian was originally placed in the SABH program on Oct. 5, and suspended without pay until clearance. That came just days after he was involved in an early morning car accident in Montreal, in which Kassian was a passenger in a SUV driven by a 20-year-old female. Montreal police later confirmed that while speed didn’t play a factor in the collision, alcohol may have. On Oct. 7, Vancouver GM Jim Benning — who traded Kassian to Montreal in exchange for Brandon Prust this summer — confirmed that Kassian went through Stage One of the SABH while with the Canucks. Kassian has yet to appear in a regular-season contest for the Canadiens. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2015/12/16/habs-send-kassian-to-ahl-after-clearing-waivers-say-hes-not-a-priority/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
