Trade: Former 1st round pick has been traded!

This is turning out to be another crazy day and we're only just getting started. We have another trade on this the first day of free agency and this time it's the Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks who have agreed on a deal. The Canadiens will acquire Zack Kassian from the Canucks in exchange for Brandon Prust and a 5th round selection in next year's NHL draft. Since being drafted in the in the first round by the Sabres in 2009 Kassian has largely failed to live up to the hype. Many believe Kassian to be a better player  on the ice than Prust is. With that said certain veteran hockey reporters are actually calling it a win for the Canucks because of how positive an influence a guy like Prust is in the locker room.
