Kassian brushes aside Hodgson comparisons

Zack Kassian. Cody Hodgson. Traded for each other in 2012 and they'll be linked together for the rest of their hockey careers.

Forget about the comparisons, says Kassian, via The Vancouver Sun.

“We’re two different players trying to make a career out of hockey,” Kassian noted. “That’s what it is. Like I’ve said before, I wish him all the best and I know he wishes me all the best. Now I just need to keep on improving.”

Light-hearted line from Kassian: “Plus-minus, maybe that’s the only stat I’ll win against him.”
