[PTO] Zack Kassian with Ducks

[-Vintage Canuck-]

 

[NewbieCanuckFan]

Probably the end of the road for him (once you have to resort to a PTO from a team like the Yotes).

 

Still, even if he never plays another NHL game, he has over 660 NHL games under his belt.  Not too bad for a 13th overall pick.

I like Kass he seemed to get it over time and turn things around. Hope it works out for him.

Good luck Zack. Always loved this player and wish he was still here, healthy and straightened out. Loved how he played the game in a straight line and with a chip on his shoulder. 

[Ghostsof1915]

Well on the positive side. The 2 points he got last year were both goals.

[Coconuts]

Rooting for him, if nothing else he'd be willing to step up and defend their young talent

Lucky for him, it's the Ducks and not the 'Yotes that have signed him to a PTO... 

That's what I get for skipping my morning coffee.

Mentally rolling back to many years ago, he is washed up... seasons later

Did we ever live through interesting times

Zach is a heck of a nice kid who's always had a tough time getting out of his way. Hope this stop works out for him. Gotta hand it to him for longevity at this point regardless of his off ice challenges.

We should have given him a PTO with Abby lol

There are some players like Nick Ritchie 27-6'3 - 225 lbs -- GP 74 - G 13  -PTS 26 -- TOI 13:26 --

Worth a PTO look? Would add lots of toughness ? Canucks could use toughness and he can drop gloves if needed?

Tocchet would like this player.. I like Ritchie has some talent not the fastest but in those heavy games against big teams Vancouver lacks size and toughness.. ..PTO lets go??

I feel like Zack is kinda packing it in at this point. In EDM he showed some real ability as a valuable role player then he battled some injuries (IIRC, could be wrong) and the move to Arizona couldn't have been motivating.

 

I'd think he still has some game given he skates so well & has a mean side, but its on him to be motivated to stay in the league. Hope he does well I've always like him.
