It would be great if the Canucks can get a big contribution from out of nowhere, but I'd like to see Kassian turn into a real threat. And if Hansen can start to mix his offensive game with his grittier game, that would be a treat as well.

If Kassian gets to play with the Sedins again he ll have a good year plus I think Torts is better for younger players he's tough but seems fair about it. It'll be interesting to see how the team as a whole plays under his hardline style.

To me personally, Everyones talking about Luongo, Torts and the Sedins as being the biggest question mark coming into this season.

To me its Kassian. Can he infact make an impact under the new coach. Will be given a chance?

You need to have a confidence booster at a young age. AV throws him on a line with the Sedins, He has tremendous success then demotes him to the 2nd/3rd line for a reason nobody knows.

Kassian, to me. Is definitley the biggest question mark in this upcoming season. Which I guess in hindsight has alot to do with Torts to.

Torts says Kassian will be given every opertunity to play with the sedins. He will start there in training camp. But said he has to earn staying there

At Fridays scrimmage they had a rough start together but as the game wore on the got better and better. Their last couple of shifts were pure puck control in the offensive end.
