Prospect Info: 2022 8OA, Marco Kasper

[The Zermanator]

Not having tried Berggren - Kasper - Raymond together at this point is just stupid.

Honestly not a bad idea. Raymond has proven he can be a line driver at this point. And with the current state of the team, there's no reason not to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks.

I would love to see a top six of Berggren Kasper Raymond and Larkin Kane DeBrincat.

The Wings are dead last in goals scored in the east, and that is with a power play that isn't total trash. Only Nashville and Anaheim have scored less.

Put all of our offensive talent together and stop putting them with plugs. Make the plugs figure it out on their own(they won't).

Lalonde has no creativity at all. Give the kid a chance on a line with Larkin and/or Raymond. I was actually shocked when he actually put Ras with them and on the pp, because he never tries things outside the box. I am not even a fan of Berggren, but even he should have been given some chances higher up as what is the point in these guys playing 6-10 minutes and never giving them a chance higher up? Copp and Compher, Tank and Kane aren't doing well either, so it can't be a bad idea to try other things. That to me is what makes me believe Lalonde is a good asst. coach, but not someone who should run his own bench.

Also, not a fan of them trying to make Kasper just a grinder, much the same way that they tried to make Ras a defensive level guy, which I still think is a mistake.

Don't know why we're not putting him next to Larkin and Raymond and giving him ten games to see how it goes.

It's really annoying when we agree, lol. I suggested the same weeks ago, and yeah, at this point it's "just stupid".

Those 3 kids are the only ones skating at full speed, throw them on a line and at least the other team will have to work for the puck. Plus, it's the best move for developing all 3 players.

and it would be the most entertaining hockey fans have gotten to watch all year

 

[jkutswings]

there is also an "eye test" that clearly says he is not more than a 3rd line checking center. I mean I've seen absolutely nothing from him except for good wheels and decent defensive game. Draper v 2.0 if we are lucky.

You might want to see an optometrist.

Yeah, at this point I'll settle for 15 minutes of decent hockey every game.

Berggren and him need to be separated, as neither has lots of pts. Not like they have amazing chemistry or something.

They need a linemates that can skate and do something. Plugs or washed scorers aren't helping. They do in fact have chemistry.

Burger and Kasper are 7th and 8th in SOG on this team after DBC, DBoss, Ray, Mo, Kane, and Tank. Kinda surprising because I don't think either shoot enough, but at least they have more chemistry than Copp, Compher, Raz or Joey. Unfortunately Burger has below average SH%, and Kasper is abysmal.

But that just means they need a shooter on their line.... someone that can keep up with them.

I'd argue they have better chemistry than most of the other forwards at this point. Points have not come,but they have consistently played well when together.
