I'm still upset we traded Hodgson for this plug called Kassian. 

This was the worst move of that regime and it's not even close. 

If you're trying to win the cup, and you trade one of your best assets.  Trade it for someone that will help RIGHT NOW to win that cup, not for a minor leaguer!  Even if Kassian turned out to be a really good player on the Canucks eventually, we would have still lost that trade because by then this team would be past it's prime.

He's there to make sure nobody tries any funny stuff with McDavid and/or Draisatl.

 

If he was riding shotgun on EPs line & Matheson pulled that cheap stunt on him; Kassian would make sure Matheson would be eating his dinners via a straw for the rest of the season.

 

It doesn't hurt though that Kassian can skate (and thus be of other use on that line besides his fists or 'loose screw').

It was a facetious/sarcastic reply.

Anybody can score playing with McDavid and draisaitl

 

Jayson Megna probably put up 20 goals next to them

No. Megna played 13 games with Malkin in Pittsburgh during a call up and only got 2 assists.

IF THE CANUCKS kept him and was patient as some of the current players he may have been fun to watch..but as i have looked things over sure he is a big  body can score at times not afraid to drop gloves but  he does take dumb penalties and he makes bonehead moves...so the the trade off not worth it ..off ice issues and really it was good to move on..really like the young guns trying to be physical and showing team toughnesss...long season so you need to play smart hockey......the main thing you need to do is to play solid when you need to..

The guy is dumber than a sack of rocks. Nice kid though.

scoring at a 53 point pace is pretty good, except when your linemates are on pace for 80 more than that. 

He's not on the line to be putting up points.  He's there to prevent a puke like Matheson giving Petterson a body slam (which is why we have guys like Ferland on the team).

Like him at times when he was here.

 

Was happy to see them trade him, thought he was becoming a really negative influence around the new players that we were drafting.

 

It can be easily argued that his current success would not have happened if the Canucks, or the Canadians for that matter, had continued to show patience in him. I think the only thing that got through to him, was being flushed from 2 teams, so close together. He didn't even get a chance to play a single game for Montreal, the pushed the eject button as soon as he crashed his truck while drunk.

 

All this said, really happy to see him find some success and get himself back on track.

yeah...i get what you are saying but YOU SHOULD NOT JUST RANDOMLY start typing in caps as it makes other posters think that......MAYBE YOU ARE SOME KIND OF CRAZY PHSYCHO.....but you could just be some normal dude hanging out......BUT THINKING ABOUT CUTTING SOMEONE'S HEAD OFF ON A BUS AND EATING PART OF IT.....even though you are just some normal dude thinking about hockey......DON'T RANDOMLY TYPE CAPS!!!!....or do it if you want....
