The Ducks let Kassian go from his professional tryout agreement Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian scored just two goals in 51 games with Arizona last year and will now be a free agent entering the 2023-24 campaign. He has 661 games of NHL experience and could add a veteran presence to a team's bottom-six at some point this season.

Kassian signed a professional tryout agreement with Anaheim on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian had two goals, 50 PIM and 32 hits in 51 contests with Arizona in 2022-23. He might earn a spot on the Ducks' Opening Night roster as a member of their fourth line, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately signs a two-way contract and starts the campaign in the AHL.

Kassian (upper body) was placed on unconditional waivers by Arizona on Tuesday for the purpose of a buyout, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian is presumably healthy now after sitting out the final 12 games of the 2022-23 season due to an upper-body issue. He will become an unrestricted free agent after being bought out of the last season of his four-year, $12.8 million contract. The 32-year-old winger collected two goals, 50 PIM and 32 hits in 51 appearances with the Coyotes during the 2022-23 campaign.

Kassian (upper body) will not suit up Monday against the Oilers, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian has now missed five consecutive games and there's been little information on when he's expected to return. The veteran winger can be considered out indefinitely until an update is available.

Kassian (upper body) is out Sunday against the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
It's the fourth consecutive game that Kassian's missed. The 32-year-old winger has two goals in 51 contests this season. Rookies Nathan Smith and Milos Kelemen will round out Arizona's fourth line in Kassian's absence.

Kassian (upper body) will not suit up Friday against Colorado, per the NHL's media site.

Kassian (upper body) will remain out of action versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian has tallied a paltry two points in 51 games this season while averaging 9:09 of ice time. As such, the 32-year-old veteran's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. Milos Kelemen is poised to step into a fourth-line role with Kassian unavailable.

Kassian (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian was announced as a scratch just after warmups started. It's unclear when the 32-year-old sustained the injury, but it'll cost him at least one game and likely more, as the Coyotes play in Edmonton on Wednesday.

Kassian scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian ended a 37-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 32-year-old needed to show something on offense -- the Coyotes acquired Brett Ritchie from the Flames at the trade deadline, which could lead to Kassian slipping back into a healthy-scratch role. The veteran winger has two goals, 22 shots on net, 36 PIM, 31 hits and a minus-15 rating through 44 appearances, exclusively playing on the fourth line.
