It does explain Kassian's strange attitude. Between his draft status and jamming in McDavid set ups he really does think he is a star on the level of Tkachuk.

Kassian was drafted right at the start of the end of the era where dopey teams were still picking guys based on fighting skill and size. Took a few years for it to stop completely (see the Flames picking Hunter Smith in the 2nd round in 2014).
