Without the twins we are the vancouver oilers

Good trade for the Canucks. Prust is a proven commodity. Kassian is a dirt bag who I wouldn't be surprised to see out of the league in 3 years.

Gotta create a culture of toughneßs for our kids

I don't mind this trade at all as Vancouver is my Favorite team and The Habs are my second Favorite.... so, WIN-WIN

As I said, Kassian was obviously a bit of a cancer. A young team needs a few tough horses that can actually play to stand up for them. Unlike what Edmonton had.

Terrible terrible trade

We got Older with a player who had less points and costs more money.

Plus we give up a pick

WTF.

5th rounders are nothing. Canucks are rebuilding they will acquire more picks this season. Kassian was obviously causing some issues for the team. He is a psycho who will likely be out of the NHL soon. If I were a Canucks fan I would be happy to have him gone. Prust is a decent role player.

Zack is a power forward, Prust is a goon, slightly higher cap hit, and 7 years older, and we still have to toss in a pick? Makes no sense

Prust will be our 13th forward, it opens up a spot for JV and gets rid of a locker room distraction. I'm fine with it, Prust also is UFA after this season, so it's not going to hurt us going forwards.

shows you how important it was to the canucks to move 9.

I guess Benning doesn't want guys who take nights off, and Kassian was that.

He would be great for 2 games, then disappear for 4.

we needed to free up a spot so Jake Virtanen can tear it up this year

LOL. Kassian is a power forward and Prust is a goon?! Kassian is a joke. Prust is an effective role player. You guys should be celebrating you rid yourselves of that freak.

I guess he could be TDL to a contender needing toughness?

We'd be so lucky. Maybe the 2007 oilers

I wasnt a fan of kassian as I thought he floated too much, anyone know the style prust plays? I think they want to have high energy guys that attack - zack doesnt fit that mold at all.

I know he isnt the bestPlayer but I absolutly LOVE Prust
- GloveHandStrong

Character guy. We lost three of them in trades already. Good locker room guy. Sticks up for hi teammates.
