EDMONTON, AB - Forward Zack Kassian has always viewed himself as a player with plenty of versatility.
"I think I'm a unique player," Kassian said, speaking to the media during Thursday's onset of Oilers Training Camp. "The more time you spend in the league, you really get to know who you are and I honestly see myself as a guy who can play anywhere."
During the off-season, he wasn't about to let an extended stint on the top line last campaign alongside Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid alter his expectations when training or his expectation of seeing improvement throughout the lineup in '19-20.
"To be honest, I went about my summer like I always do," Kassian said. "I've always been focused on my speed and fitness, and I think as you get older even though 28 isn't old, you want to maintain and try to be as fast as you can. If you look around the league now, it's all about speed and transition. So I went into the summer trying to improve and trying to maintain everything I've built to this point. I'm coming in healthy and excited to go."
