They gave up a 5th round pick with Kassian. I'm going to assume they were worried about his back being a recurring problem in the future.

I was hoping he was going to fill Bieska's role of entertaining media interview guy, but with less subtle humour and more crazy.

thats what ill miss most about bieksa..

hopefully something good comes from all this regardless.. still a bummer I liked kassian too.

Ha Ha! Made you look.
