If Kassian knocks Neil's head off, he's on the team, AFAIC. But it has to be knocked completely off: Nearly-Headless Neil will not do.

:thumbsup:

 

He should feel free to do it in the parking lot if that is easier for him. That's where all the fighting takes place at youth hockey rinks anyway.

It should be interesting to see whether Kassian targets Neil. We joke about it, but I'm sure Kassian knows that Ottawa owned the Sabres last year and that Neil is the big bully on their team. Kassian also really wants to make the team and knows he didn't have much of a game last night. It's quite likely that Kassian is determined to come out with a very physical game tonight and quite possible that he's got Neil in mind.

The big question is will Neil oblige? In the regular season? No doubt. But in the preseason? He has nothing to gain. My guess is he laughs, tells him to go back to juniors and skates away.

I think he needs to be responsible and positionally sound at both ends of the ice more than anything else. . LR and DR would have sent Perreault back to juniors to work on his defensive game.

Haha. well played. i agree. I guess my point is that this team needs to offensive punch, not more grinders.

Matt Ellis is a grinder, Kassian has the potential to be a ###### monster.

in terms of nastiness yes. But his scoring in juniors isnt really a superstar in the making.

If he could stay off the suspended list his production would be substantially increased.

his appox 1pt per game in the OHL isnt really impressive, suspension or not. In 08-09 he played a full season and was 50th in scoring. Even in his suspension shortened last season there were many more guys scoring more in less games than he played.

 

Like i said, hes not projected to be a scorer in the NHL, hes a physical kid who will pop in a few goals occasionally.
