Video evidence confirming that #92 does in fact have that dog in him
I only watched the two first periods, but I think he was one of the best players on the ice, if not the best.I only have the highlights to go by but it looked like Kasper played a very good game and was really involved.
His only competition there was Ed who I think was the best. Either way, great to see them both showing up. A lot of our other prospects like Mazar and Lombardi looked at home in this game even if not as standoutish. Cossa also looked good in the third. If Cossa hits, that’s a huge huge boost for this team.I only watched the two first periods, but I think he was one of the best players on the ice, if not the best.
Or the points could not maybe come, but at least on minimum we'll get the next Helm/Draper on the mix.
that absolute mugging of jones and then winning the foot race against bedard to get a shot on goal was *chefs kiss*Video evidence confirming that #92 does in fact have that dog in him
Kasper Larkin Raymond
Cat Compher Kane

Kasper will make Larkin job little easier, same time learn from the best.
Berggren+ for top 4 defansman

Not sure about Berggren and Lalonde on the same team. I don't believe he is more than third line playerVeleno, Gustafsson, 2nd + 4th round pick for a top 4 RD and an AHL scorer.
I'd like to see what Berggren can do because I think by next year he could be top 6 to replace Kane or Tarasenko. The Wings are also weak on wing until MBN develops, so I'd rather keep Berggren for that reason.
Veleno looks maxed out. 4th liner that might be a 3rd liner on a bad team. The wings have Kasper and Danielson coming in as the 2C and 3C respectively. They still have Compher and Copp for another few years. Then guys like Lombardi, Finnie and Savage that look like solid choices for the 4C role internally.
Zetterberg-lite
I liked his work rate and energy a ton last night. As advertised on the compete level and he has made skating gains this offseason in my opinion. Great first step this year, exactly what I wanted to see, he should keep building on this.
This was exactly what I saw when I watched him live last year. He really came on to end the season and now looks even better maybe. The zone entries are a big part of his game that will make offence come, but how hard he crashes the net will get him some points too.Watching someone other than Larkin making hi speed clean zone entries, keeping the puck on his stick is nice. Danielson does this too.
Imagine having all three in the lineup. Wouldn't have to dump and chase so much.
I know I am team Danielson generally in the discussion, but in terms of the physical dimension brought to the line Kasper brings more of what they need for Ray and Larks.This was exactly what I saw when I watched him live last year.

I'm starting to really like the idea of Kasper or Danielson making the team on Larkins wing, the way he broke in with Zetterberg. I like it because if it isnt working out, they can both go down into a third line role and get their shit figured out while still contributing
