Five Edmonton Oilers The Team Should Say Goodbye To This Offseason
By Jim Lynch
2. Zack Kassian
Another two seasons of Zack Kassian making 3.2 million is definitely something the Edmonton Oilers are going to want to move this offseason, even if it does cost them a draft pick or two along the way.
Kassian played in all 16 playoff games this postseason putting up two goals and two assists during that time. He played an average of 8:07 a night, the least amount of ice time for a player who played in more than three postseason games.
Kassian is a role player making a bit too much money. Every dollar counts for Edmonton to pool together a championship roster for next season, and moving Kassian to a team like Chicago or Arizona could work.
Kassian scored six goals in 58 regular season games putting up 19 points during that time. His best season came in 2019-20 when he put up 34 points in 59 games playing alongside Connor McDavid.
