Prospect Info: 2022 8OA, Marco Kasper

[Frk It]

This seems like such a cheapskate thing to do.

What other team in the league does this to their young guys? And how much does it impact Kasper’s salary this year?

Seems like a SOP kinda thing, and I am sure we had a conversation with him ahead of time to tell him we would be doing this throughout the year.

Probably people on here making a bigger deal out of something that is nothing to the parties involved.

Some of you absolutely love making mountains out of mole hills.

Kasper is being given the best offensive opportunities on the entire roster playing next to our 2 best players, short of being on PP1. He's been given these minutes without necessarily killing it in the AHL or in the 4th line minutes he was getting before. I highly doubt he gives a shit about some paper moves.

I would say the fact that the Stars assistant GM says they chose not to do it with Miro Heiskanen actually implies it happens quite frequently.

Zeroing in on one of the first guys I recognized in a somewhat similar situation, Alexander Holtz name shows up 8 times going up/down since late January while never actually playing an AHL game

Yes he is, it's not the best look especially for young players.

Hopefully next CBA can fix this from a players union perspective. This is ALOT of money early for a player risking his career without major earnings yet. I understand it too overall, but I don't like it and for the Red Wings specifically, can hardly see the reasoning... (until they use up every bit of cap space on a trade/move this season)

The NHLPA won’t do anything to address that. If they want that concession from owners, what are they willing to give up in return? Something that affects such a small percentage of players isn’t worth fighting for if you have to give up something that will affect even more players.

Yeah dude; till 70k is missing doing the same work. "titles" and like you mentioned paper pushing is one thing; they're actually taking money from him with these moves and the player isn't doing a thing wrong; Sucks. Totally taken advantage of but that's the rules/business so idk...

It's funny how now in this argument he's a tag-along with the top two players and should be happy; when others are boasting in this thread like they knew he'd be a productive top LW this whole time and expected it more than him even earning it. (which I think he's earned it)

Pretty ass-back-ways to take money from someone earning it. Idk... I don't like it. (Obviously). Meanwhile I actually watched Yzerman/Organization sign Zadina to a multi-year... Idk hate it. Lol, can't change it though; rants over.

 

[norrisnick]

The restrictive nature of ELCs in general should be a far bigger issue than this nickel and dimeing shit.

 

[OldnotDeadWings]

They're not taking money away from anyone who has almost certainly known from the time he came to NA -- either from the club or his agent -- that his ELC status meant he would never be getting the "full" amount. This is SOP, a nothing-burger.

 

[Oddbob]

I legit doubt Marco is losing any money with these moves. It is just a paper transaction, he isn't actually leaving the Red Wings roster. Feel like some young players would complain if they were actually losing money in this scenario.
