<p>Zach Kassian Update: The #Montreal Canadiens have asked Kassian not to report to their AHL team. He was reassigned to the St. John IceCaps after clearing waivers. #Strange update with a lot of speculation stirring around this kid.</p>

</div><div class="indented">Reply - mickiholley - 12/27/15 3:46pm<br><p>not really when you break it down. Kassian could be a candidate for a trade and the Habs do not want to risk injury and therefore jeapordizing any possible trade.</p>
