just to be pedantic: Lalonde said 12 forwards to start the year. Did he mean the day 1 roster or the game 1 roster?
I still like Danielson's upside more but Kasper was the better player in camp this year which should be expected.Remember after Danielson was drafted and everyone agreed he was trending to be 2C, relegating Kasper's future to 3C? How we feeling about that now, fam?
My expectation for the two of them has always been Zetterberg/Datsyuk or Yzerman/Fedorov 2.0 combo. Great high scoring, two way centers that win the Wings championships.Remember after Danielson was drafted and everyone agreed he was trending to be 2C, relegating Kasper's future to 3C?

How are you gonna do that and play 2 games on the same day? Then 3 games B2B2B later in the same week? The schedule dictates the roster size, with most teams carry A & B teams.Well its up to the NHL team to have smaller roster if they want though.
But, yeah idk, think its good to have 6-7 matches to prepare for the new season as not playing full roster in all of them. Agree that it could be smaller rosters, but also some benefit of having more being given chances in training camp and getting a feel for how it is to be on the big team.

So when they truly contend, down the middle it'll be:My expectation for the two of them has always been Zetterberg/Datsyuk or Yzerman/Fedorov 2.0 combo. Great high scoring, two way centers that win the Wings championships.
It's a nice problem to have, who knows, maybe by this time next year Danielson looks better than Kasper and they just continue to leap frog each other every offseason.
Don't you understand, they can't both be good. Such things just aren't allowedRemember after Danielson was drafted and everyone agreed he was trending to be 2C, relegating Kasper's future to 3C? How we feeling about that now, fam?

Are you asking people if they want to change their mind because of 4 pre season games?Remember after Danielson was drafted and everyone agreed he was trending to be 2C, relegating Kasper's future to 3C? How we feeling about that now, fam?
I mean, to be fair, the minds were originally made because of 4 preseason games last year.Are you asking people if they want to change their mind because of 4 pre season games?
I’m confused.

Yeah, basically, though I know no one will, so it’s mostly just for fun. I’ve always found the Kasper-Danielson discussion on this forum to be rather odd. Fickle in its origin. I don’t really expect people to flip flop now, because despite being kinda fickle, that Danielson > Kasper narrative has been around for a year. A long time to further cement the idea.Are you asking people if they want to change their mind because of 4 pre season games?

Respectfully disagree. I like Kasper a ton, but i think when it is all said and done the only category in which he'll trump Danny boy is physicality and effectiveness on the forecheck. Nate to me has the edge in speed (big edge), sniping, playmaking, puck skills, puck transportation as well as defensive prowess. Kasper's best seasons IMO will be 25/30 whereas I can totally see Danielson inching towards PPG seasons. But we'll see.Yeah, basically, though I know no one will, so it’s mostly just for fun.

While I always felt Danielson has a higher floor, their respective projections/upsides have always been rather even to me, and I’ve never seen Danielson as clearly a better prospect. I’ve flip flopped them in my own rankings several times. Either could break out, pull ahead of the other, and it wouldn’t surprise me.
Not only Kasper was very good last preseason, but also Lombardi and Danielson had their moments.

What is the earliest ETA we see Danielson AND Kasper as regulars for Detroit? 26-27?
1. He just is a faster skater, his acceleration especially is better. Not saying Kasper's a snail.To each their own but after seeing Kasper with a full off-season I'm not sure how anyone could think Danielson has a big edge in speed. Is he a faster skater? Sure, maybe. But Kasper can also absolutely fly out there. I also don't know how you can watch Kasper play and give a massive edge in puck transportation either. Kasper has been really good in the minors with zone entries and this preseason he was flying with the puck.
would think kasper gets 40ish plus games this yr n danielson ditto next yrWhat is the earliest ETA we see Danielson AND Kasper as regulars for Detroit? 26-27?
