Zack Kassian's Player Profile

An interesting blend of size, skill and enthusiasm. After having 9 goals and 21 points last year, he has brought his offensive game up to new heights, with 10 points in his first 11 games. What he does is bring a huge amount of energy to his team.

He hits people a lot, in fact maybe going out of his way too much some times to do so. A player who is needing work on his speed and his skating, but his willingness to compete and battle are among the best in the draft. He has also shown a real penchant for fighting and that can be valuable at times. Most OHL players view him as one of the toughest players in the league. At 6’3”, 205 lbs and with his offensive game on the improve, there is a lot to like about him. Can you say power forward?
