Zack Kassian acquired by the Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens have made a trade, acquiring Zack Kassian from the Vancouver Canucks.

According to TSN's trade breakers, the Montreal Canadiens have acquired Zack Kassian from the Vancouver Canucks, though we don't yet know what the return is. Kassian is a 6'3", 214 pound right winger who has struggled to establish himself as a top-six forward in Vancouver after being acquired for Cody Hodgson several years ago.

There is a temptation to write Kassian off as a plugger, but if you look at his HERO chart, it tells a bit of a different story.
