    Gagner for Kassian? 20 team dynasty, all regular cats, but no PIMS, hits, or blocks

    How good will Kassian be right away?

    No PIM or hits? Give me Gagner and it's not even close. I don't expect Kassian to put up more than 50 points in his prime and Gagner is already at that level with room to become even better.

    Lots of good gets said about Kassian but every time I watch him play he looks so awkward on his skates. I'm not here to debate skating mechanics but something just looks very off.

    Gagner wins in this kind of league. People write him off too quickly. He's just hitting his stride later.

    I agree, in your league Gagner is more valuable.

    Gagner all the way. NOw if it was a true multi-cat then I'd probably swing the pendulum the other way.

    Gagner seems to be a clear winner with those stats.

    Kassian seems to be another Downie, Backes type, with real value in a multi-cat but much diminished value elsewhere.

    Now that I think of it, maybe the joke doesn't actually apply because Kassian actually is an awkward looking skater. It's not just some illusion thing.

    Who was the dude who only gave a shit about skating mechanics again?

    Oh and for what it's worth consider me another vote for Gagner. Proven over potential.

    And one more vote for Gagner. After all, he's the only player besides Gretzky to get 8 points in a game But yeah without PIM and Hits, Kassian is not very good value.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I don't know if he only cared about skating, but I remember rants about how Malkin (I think) was going to decline because something in his skating was off. Something like that. After the season that just happened... Malkin 1, Skating Mechanics 0.

    MT!!!!

    I loved that dude. I remember when he swore he'd never return and went to write for some other site but then ran into issues with them so he came back to posting in the forums. Oh, the entertainment. Really knowledgeable dude, just a complete bonehead though.
