Another turn has been taken in the Zack Kassian saga.
Buffalo Sabres general manager Darcy Regier announced on Tuesday that the team would postpone contract negotiations with the 13th overall pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft.
Kassian was charged with assault late last week after his involvement in a fight at a Windsor bar on May 30 .
“It’s obviously not something we condone,” Regier told The Buffalo News on Tuesday. “It’s unfortunate. I happen to believe Zack’s a good kid.
"He just put himself in a position that going forward you can’t put yourself in those types of positions. It’s a learning process.”
While Buffalo has by no means given up on the youngster, Regier has not given a date as to when contract talks will resume.
