this is a great signing by the oilers. he's got something to prove and at 1.5 its not a huge risk over 82 games

His skill is under rated. If he ever really tried to be a decent hockey player, he has the hands to do so.

Low risk. If he can't get the job done, nobody will lose a second of sleep in moving on

You can't look just at boxcars when evaluating Kassian. He has so much more talent than other players we've had in our bottom 6 as of late. It didn't translate too well into goals, but he certainly has the talent if given the opportunity to be a great depth player.

Really interesting blog Matt. Nice work.
I particularly enjoyed the final paragraph. Very thoughtful and well said.

I read most of these, but don't comment very often... Mostly because I choose to not have anyone in here suck it. That being said, good read, Matt!

WAsn't impressed with ZK before, still not impressed.

All told a fairly low impact move that has a wide potential.

He could get waived out of training camp, or he can solidify himself into a bottom 6 forward.

he cooled off after an impressive first month or so. But he still brought physicality and agitation. To s team that needed both.
Essentially he can still be usefull even when he's not making anything happen offensively


Low risk- high potential reward

Good signing

Still has some bonehead moments- especially in his own zone.

The Decision making process of this franchise is unbelievable! Do they want to get out of 29th place?
