Is Zack Kassian a Fit for the Toronto Maple Leafs?

Is Zack Kassian a Fit for the Toronto Maple Leafs?

The rough and tough winger could bring a missing element to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Tuesday morning, NHL Insider Chris Johnston announced that the Arizona Coyotes had placed Zack Kassian on unconditional waivers as they intend to buy out the final year of his four-year deal that has a cap hit of $3.2 Million.

Kassian signed the four-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers shortly after Ken Holland took over as general manager. Fast forward two seasons into Kassian’s new contract came onto the books and Holland packaged him along with a second and third round pick, as well as moving down three positions in the first round for the Oilers to get out from under his deal.
