He saw under nine minutes of ice time Monday night, but his goal came while skating with the Sedin brothers on the Canucks' top line. Kassian had a successful stint on the first line to open up the season, so good things could come if he sticks with the Sedins and starts seeing more ice time. For now, monitor the young power forward.","date":"Tue Apr 23"},"fullName":"Zack Kassian","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Kassian was on the bus between the Buffalo Sabres and their AHL affiliate in Rochester for much of last season. A move at the trade deadline had him in the Vancouver Canucks lineup for the final 17 games of the season, but he didn't make an impact to be remembered in that time. Still, Kassian is powerful, gritty and has more offensive flare than most players with heavy hands. He has the right mold and is now on the right team to become the type of player who fills every statistical category in fantasy hockey. One road block for Kassian is the fact that the Canucks already have one such player amongst the top-six forwards in Alex Burrows. Because of the intriguing mix of talent, Kassian will be worth keeping an eye on until we have a clear reason not to.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":0.1,"playerRater15DAY":-0.1,"positionRank":76}
