Tkachuk is the smartest guy in hockey. Why did he pick Kassian to target? He could have gone after the tenderness or one of the great duo? He picked Kassian because he knew he would blow up at some point and he'd earn some powerplay time for his club and Kassian would look like an idiot in the end.
Bingo. That's what happens.
There is no other way to explain why he goes after Kassian. It is not like he is some great player that he needs to get off his game.
