Prospect Info: 2022 8OA, Marco Kasper

[LongTimeDRWF]

This is pure garbage. Teams can exceed the salary cap by 10% during the offseason. The roster submitted before the first game is what needs to be cap compliant. They can sign Watson to a 2 way and send him down tomorrow without having to send Kasper down.

If you believe in clickbait Twitter posts, I've got some pills for sale that will make your penis longer.

I believe the opening day rosters for all teams is due by 5pm eastern October 7 with the regular season starting (in NA) on Oct 8, all teams will be required to meet maximum 23 roster players and be cap compliant by this date.

I don’t think it would be fair for some later teams to be able to be 10% over if they start a few days later than other teams.

There will be some paper games played, just to juice it up, the rumor out there is Watson’s contract will be a 2-way…

The point stays the same, there was no need to play any sort of paper games. They could easily have signed Watson last week if they wanted, especially a 2 way.

Did Kasper force his way onto the roster? Not exactly IMO He left enough to be desired with his finishing and creativity that I can see him benefiting from some time in GR...

But at the same time, I'd argue most of our forwards forced their way OFF the roster. Here's to another year running a suboptimal roster because we're incapable of watching our vets play terribly and saying "wow, that guy's as bad as he's looked for years." I totally understand why there's some over the top frustration with this. You'd think missing the playoffs because we refused to play Edvinsson would have taught us something.

i think it's extremely obvious that holl was signed in order to leave as little cap space as possible for seider and raymond, thereby ensuring that we have both young stars locked up at bargain contracts for the prime of their careers

ALL HAIL THE WISE AND POWERFUL STEVE YZERMAN. BOW AND TREMBLE AT THE FEET OF OUR MESSIAH. VENGEANCE SHALL BE SWIFT AND JUST FOR THOSE WHO QUESTION HIS OMNISCIENCE

Extremely obvious for sure lol.

Are they playoff pills?

I know there’s little tolerance for anything but extremes here, but speaking for myself, my not freaking out about Kasper before the season even starts does not mean I think Yzerman is some infallible god because of this playing days in Detroit.

Like Who?

DeBrincat, Larkin and Raymond?

This turned into the truth, and preliminary roster. Still more cuts to come and, possibly, trades that bring one of them back to Detroit.

Would love to see the payback for the Walman move be the Sharks pick up Holl so the Wings aren't cap hit.

In the name of all that is holy, please lose that avatar. I have to scroll down at hyperspeed every time I have the misfortune to see it.

 

[Murmansk16A]

doubt it. yzerjesus is too all-knowing to allow that to happen. the walman trade was a 5d move that shall bestow many blessings upon his faithful at an unknown date in the future

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP, I PRAY THEE YZERGOD MY SOUL TO KEEP

IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE, I PRAY THEE YZERGOD MY MINT #19 ROOKIE CARDS TO TAKE

I feel like the whole paper move speculation thing is thrown around every time there's a move people don't like but I can't recall it ever really actually panning out

could just be confirmation bias on my part though

Not convinced it's purely a paper move, but Veleno was sent down a few years back and still ended up playing nearly 70 games. I don't love Kasper not being in day 1, but I also wouldn't love just dumping Veleno/Berggren for nothing like some are suggesting.

Yeah, this is one of prime example. People should learn not to freak out of these season-starting decisions.

The meaning of "making the roster" or "not making on the roster" is maybe the biggest overblown and misunderstood thing at hockey world.

It takes one game, and some will tweak a groin and Kasper is on the roster.
