Zack Kassian has officially announced his retirement following 661 regular-season games.
Most renowned for his time in Edmonton, where his Battle of Alberta matchups were iconic (especially against Matthew Tkachuk), Kassian played a solid role wherever he went, even tallying 92 goals and 203 points during his time in the league.
That time was spent with Arizona, Vancouver and Buffalo as well as Edmonton, and while he was hated on the ice, we wish him well in retirement after a solid and very entertaining career on the ice.
