Floating.

Kid needs to be with skill players. He can finish and is a playmaker. I bet you guys were suprised at how good a passer he is.

Same thing happened in Buffalo. Has he been running around hitting and causing havoc on the 4th? Or just floating?

Floating for the most part, seems to have lost his energy since the demotion.

Seems like he might have an issue with that sort of thing. He disappeared after a few games. He got some decent minutes and played well when we had a bunch of injuries, but when we were semi healthy and he was put on the 4th he was a completely different player

Yeah, he's a pretty underrated playmaker. Too bad AV didn't give him a few games with Kesler.

You can't take someone off the 1st and put him on the 4th and expect him to be happy

fixed.

He's no Zack Kassian that's for sure.

Kassian 7 min What happened?
- sbroads24

It's BS. He was one of the better players the first couple weeks, then all it took was one minor mistake for him to get demoted to the 4th line.

Now he's playing scared, like the puck is a grenade, since one more mistake means the press box.

AV is totally ruining this player. It's a bloody crime...

Yup, when he's playing hard he's a pretty dominant player. Most young power forwards have consistency issues, once he matures he should be a really good player.

Reported!

I think they would be pretty good together.

It's not always like this, but...

Claim him Calgary...

Exactly! Especially when he was producing too.

Didn't see the game. What happened to Kesler?

Agreed. Hopefully he'll get a shot on the top 6 and PP soon.

Wait until tonight

I wonder if Tamby's downfall will be his lack of balls to make any significant moves. Edmonton needs some size up front that can play, I like that Finnish kid but they need a couple of more guys in their top 9.

Didn't see the injury either, maybe a blocked shot?

Was skating well at times, but created nothing but weak perimeter shots, and his passing was poor.

Took a couple hits.

Overall, wasn't much of a factor.

But, of course, he's one of AVs golden boys, so there will be no consequences to his poor play...

Guy seems to be cursed lately.

haven't followed the Nucks lately but why the hell is Kassian not on the first line anymore he seems to have great chemistry and was producing when with the twins

No kidding gotta do a CH for ZK trade sooner or later. And hope it doesn't bite us in the ass to hard. I'd like number #29 from SJ preferably.

Meh, it's been almost a year off for him. He isn't going to shake off the rust on the 4th line.

Agreed. Hopefully he'll get a shot on the top 6 and PP soon.

Maybe it's a matter of AV just not liking him. You'd hope a pro coach would be above that kind of thing, but I can't think of any other reason for his downward spiral to the 4th line.

Now that he's playing scared, he's not nearly as effective, and AV can say "I told you so..."

I don't (frank)ing know. It's really pissing me off, though. Put the kid in a position to succeed, and leave him there long enough to get a decent evaluation, rather than demoting him a few shifts into a game.
