Kassian was reassigned to AHL St. John's on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian will now have a chance to find his game in the minors after being suspended indefinitely prior to the 2015-16 season. Though he has continually disappointed since making it to the NHL, Kassian is a physical, big-bodied winger with good hands. During the 2013-14 campaign, while playing on a line with the Sedin twins in Vancouver, Kassian showed flashes what he was capable of, but was never able to find any sort of consistency. Despite his struggles, the 24-year old has just completed the NHL/NHLPA Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program and has plenty of time to turn his career around.
