Prospect Info: 2022 8OA, Marco Kasper

[Michael Brand Eggs]

If Marco Kasper isn't pissed about it, why are you?

Because Kasper isn't the one who has to watch the games.

What is the earliest ETA we see Danielson AND Kasper as regulars for Detroit? 26-27?

26-27 season 1/3 of the current team will be gone

Funnily enough, if he were to make the roster out of camp, he’d actually probably be watching quite a few

29-30. Have to make sure they're overripe!

Slow down, cowboy! No need to rush things. Let the rest of this decade play out before we make any judgments at all for when the kids will be ready.

Sheesh! Some people are so impatient.

For me it has more to do with style than necessarily who will be a better player. Danielson plays a more traditional center game and appears to be a better puck distributor. Kaspers game in a top 6 role I think lends itself more towards a wing position than center. He's fantastic on the forecheck and cycling the puck.

So my opinion hasn't really changed. If Kasper stays at center I think he'll eventually be the 3C but I could easily see him ending up at wing and being a fantastic piece in the top 6. It probably depends on what other players develop or sign here. Kasper as a 3C will be luxury I think.

Simply no space for a young energetic offensive dynamo on this team - he'd be sitting in the press box every evening as a healthy scratch...we get what we deserve.

 

[Perfect Human]

If someone in the top 6 gets hurt for an extended period (more than 7-10 days), Kasper would have to be called up. He is waiver-exempt and can be sent down to the minors when they get healthy again. I doubt he gets called up for spot duty because that's Watson's job.

Auston Watson will be the guy in the press box who fills in when someone misses a game or two.

Kasper should be on the second/third line now though IMO. The team should have the chutzpah to play him at least at 3C and move Copp to 4C or 3RW.

I don't know if they've played Kasper at wing at all but I could see a scenario where he's paired with Copp so Copp can take faceoffs.
