Report: Oilers nearing 1-year deal with Zack Kassian
by from on (#1E9W5)
After spending time with three organizations in the past year, Zack Kassian appears to have found a home for next season.
The Edmonton Oilers are closing in on a one-year contract with the forward, TSN's Bob McKenzie reported Thursday.
Kassian recorded eight points in 36 games with the Oilers this season after being dealt Dec. 28 by the Montreal Canadiens, who acquired him from the Vancouver Canucks almost six months prior.
The 25-year-old started the season suspended while in the NHL's substance abuse program, and was immediately waived by the Canadiens after being reinstated Dec. 15.
