2021-2022 Oilers they might still be able to save this

You can keep Kassian and his crappy contract. I would much rather bank on Jarry bouncing back from a bad playoff than acquire a 3 mill 4th liner who doesn't even kill penalties.

I saw this rumored yesterday, it was a reputable source but I couldn't find the exact quote. I'll try and find the link to it. And I think people make too much of Kassian's one bad season, for the 3 previous seasons he was 30th in 5on5 scoring in the NHL ahead of Matthew Tkachuk of all people.

If you could find it that would be great.

From 2017-2018 to 2019-2020 Kassian had 71 points at 5v5, which was good enough for 178th in the league. During that time his most common linemates were McDavid and Draisaitl. I would hope he would produce playing with those two. Oh and Matthew Tkachuk had 99 points at 5v5 during that span.

Goals was what I meant, sorry.

I mean, but even in just goals his 34 during that span is less than Matthew Tkachuk's 42. It ties him with Brady Tkachuck, but Brady played 70 less games than Kassian during that span.
