Canucks Player Autopsy: Zack Kassian

Born: January 24, 1991 (24 years-old) in Windsor, Ontario.

Drafted: The right winger was drafted in the first round (13th overall) by the Buffalo Sabres in 2009.

Size: 6'3", 214 pounds. I'm willing to wager he may be a bit heavier than that.

Contract status: Made $1.75 million this season, will make $2.0 million next season and then become a restricted free agent.

Traded: On February 27, 2012, the Canucks traded Cody Hodgson and Alexander Sulzer to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Zack Kassian and Marc-Andre Gragnani.
