Zack Kassian will bring the Canucks the big body on the wing they have been looking for, to help out either the Sedins or the Kesler line but the question remains, can Kassian make the impact immediately that Hodgson would have made in the playoffs? There is no doubt Kassian has talent but whether he will need a few more years of development to fulfil his potential remains to be seen. If he steps straight onto the team and starts using his big frame to the team’s advantage and Manny Malhotra, Maxim Lapierre or new acquisition Samuel Pahlsson can step smoothly into the third line centre role, the Canucks may have just made a great deal.
