Prospect Info: 2022 8OA, Marco Kasper

Ed’s goal changed to Kasper

He’ll be sent down any minute…

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Started the play to Larkin and then went to the net and ended up getting the goal credited. Not bad kid, not bad

He's doing all the small important things whilst actually having hands and vision making plays along the boards unlike Rasmussen or Veleno

Would like Kasper to pace his timing into soft spots a bit better so that Larks/Ray can use him even more, but that's going to come with experience

With that being said, send him to the AHL immediately

Perhaps if goals are going in off your ass, you put your ass in the right spot. Who the heck else is crashing the net?

 

[Pavels Dog]

I hope so too, but offensively I'd like to see more. He's gotta start making adjustments to his game. Maybe it's something he can focus on during the summer. The NHL plays so many games, it's hard to make adjustments in season. Which of course makes Todd look like a genius so far.

7 points the last 6. Doesn’t really matter how, he’s getting on the scoresheet. I’d re-iterate that among his peers he’s doing just fine.

Send him to LNAH! We need Kasper to get realgud at punching people in the head. He’s making too many hockeyball plays.

 

[RedHawkDown]

He's playing better the last few for sure. Still would like to see more offensive assertiveness out of him but if he can keep this level of play going he definitely is adding to the roster. I was wrong.

I will belabor the point here again as this thread continues to thrive:

Kasper is more skilled than people give him credit for. He drives play, whether it shows on the score sheet or not. That's literally what makes him special. For those saying "Oh, I can't see the skill", "where's his shot?". Just because he's not dangling doesn't mean he's not creating opportunity. He brings so many things we need to fill in the gaps to keep our offense moving.

That goal is a perfect example of it. Smart passing, moving into space, reading the play, and he's the only one on our team that's capable of crashing and screening the crease. He's going to score off his butt, but it's intentional. Rejoice, we haven't really see this kind of net presence since Homer. What makes him better than Homer is he can also play facing the net and can skate. The kid does so many smart things, we should be absolutely pumped he's on our team. And remember, he's freakin' 20 years old and he's playing in our Top 6 and is beginning to stand out. The 2022 Draft, the only guys I see who I think are honestly better than him are Slaf and Cooley. Kasper is this really solid all-round C with a ton of grit, and smarts. This second half of the year is going to be fun because he is looking a lot more confident out there.
