I like them both so not really leaning one way or the other. If its close I lean Kasper also because hes got some pro experience under his belt compared to Danielson.

I would honestly just let the competition play out between the 2 of them and whoever looks better (as long as they both look legit), start them there. Nate Dawg is gonna have his hands full trying to make the team if Kasper keeps playing the way he did last night though.

Danielson intrigues me for always keeping a strong handed draw option on the ice. I really like the teams that do that strategy wise.

Its a nice plus I guess, but its really not something I would be considering too much in which 20 year old should be making the team. And honestly, a rookie on his strong side still might not really be all that great compared to an NHL vet on his off hand anyways.

Having Kasper and Larkin chasing the puck down on the forecheck and getting it to Raymond is really intriguing to me. I also like how that allows Cat and Kane to play together down a line and have Tank as a scoring threat on the third line/rested for the powerplay

Kasper - Larkin - Raymond
DBC - Danielson - Kane
Berggren - Compher - Tank
Ras - Copp - Mazur

That's a forward lineup I'm perfectly OK with right now.

Yeah, this sounds reasonable when I just called this "Perron-effect replacement" today for the first line. I never thought it could be KAsper at this point, but some day it could be.

Could think they'll try Rasmussen first and Lalonde will get the hate again.

It's unfortunate if bringing only one of them up is the only option under consideration. If Kasper and Danielson are currently better than 2 of Veleno, Fischer, Motte, or Copp, then they should both be on the team. The cream should rise to the top. Not to mention Holl taking up a valuable roster spot too.

I hope they send down Holl and Fischer/Motte and keep both Danielson and Kasper in the NHL. The latter 2 should get as many games in as they can, with Veleno, Copp and whichever one of Fischer/Motte stays up splitting the games for the other remaining spots.

Have a feeling neither will make opening night roster and I don’t mind it.

After one preseason game, both players have played well (big emphasis on one preseason game though!!).

I don’t think either have done enough thus far to knock somebody on the current roster off of it.

Still lots of preseason/evaluation left before the year starts, but I also wouldn’t want them to make the team, just for the sake of making the team. Danielson has to be in a top 6 position for it to be worthwhile. Kasper arguably can grind out a spot in the bottom half of the line up, but I don’t want him to develop as a grinder. Would be nice for him to be an offensive contributor with solid defensive instincts, hence why playing as a first line forward in GR probably serves him best.

The kids are alright, especially Kasper. The more I see of him, the more I want him on the roster for game 1. Think he brings an element this team was missing.

I don't think so , he is just potential Larkin 2.0

I'd like to see Marco and Nate with pro wingers (DBC/Ray/Tank/Kane) in preseason games and see if they can drive offense. DBoss really doesn't need to play much in preseason, he always gets worn down by the end of the season anyways.

I've been saying both need time in GR, but I'll change my tune if they can drive more offense than Compher/Copp. Copp is a low bar, if they're not better than Copp offensively then they deserve to get sent down. Let Mazur play with Compher/Copp/Veleno, and figure out where he fits in independently of Kasper.

Yeah I think it'll be tough to see both Kasper/ Danielson on the team but not impossible. One of the two has to show that they can play center to knock Copp down to line 4 and one needs to outplay Veleno.

DBC-Larkin-Ray
Tank-Danielson-Kane
Berggy-Compher-Kasper
Ras-Copp-Fischer

would like him on 3c to start. I agree i’d put Danielson as the 1C in GR to start the year. Trying to figure out some linemates for him. I don’t necessarily think he needs a C with him in copp or compher as he’s played the position against men before. I think giving him Tarasenko as a vet on his line would do wonders for him. Then either Ras/Mazur or maybe Fischer

Cat Larkin Raymond
Berggren Compher Kane
Rasmussen Kasper Tarasenko
Veleno Copp Fischer/Motte

Why not try to play Mazur Kasper Berggren next season as a third line. They already have chemistry. I know we have too many contracts in every position, but Yzerman couple years ago said about prospects taking jobs away from veterans and ....
