If Kassian isn't ready for a top 6 winger spot we still have Higgins, Hansen and Raymond to compete for the spot. If Schroeder isn't ready, we have Lapierre, Malhotra and Ebbett. Considering that Higgins, Hansen and Raymond have all scored at a second line clip in the past and none of Lapierre, Malhotra or Ebbett have scored at a 3rd line clip, I think it's safe to say that Kassian is the more reasonable gamble. Also Kassian is the much better prospect.
