Because Kassian likely has potential to be more than a 3rd line player in their eyes and isn't worth it to deal for a UFA rental.
I would hope they would do it as it would be a stupid move by them but even if Gillis is desperate I don't see him moving a guy like Kassian that they traded Hodgson for a year and a half ago.
It makes zero sense to me for the Canucks to get softer and marginally better for this year and much worse for next year and beyond.
