With copp on IR, do you expect them to split up the current first line? Because of Kaspers aggressive allround game, they'd probably use him as 2C/3C. That may hurt his production down the stretch.

I could care less about any players single production, if they can keep the team winning.

Has a point tonight as well. 4 points in the last 3 now?
3 in the last 2. 4 in the last 5.

I just took a look and Kasper is at 15 points since Fester was fired.
It’s almost like ice time, usage and coaching matters!
I know. I think he's played pretty good all year. He made things happen, and found openings.

FWIW, could care less means that you care, to an ambiguous degree. Couldn’t care less means you do not care at all. Can confuse people when you use could when you probably mean couldn’t since the word/contraction are opposites.

Idk, I heard he should go back to GR for the year.
The guy is young but already plays a pretty complete game. His career trajectory is starting very well.

Was not aware of this but for this year I'm moreso just watching how he looks out there. Exciting stuff.
The idea of a 1st year pro at that age stepping in and giving this kind of impact would have been a pipe dream in Holland era. Everybody is right on track and that is something to be grateful for

He isn’t a first year pro by any stretch and what was Dylan Larkin???
You have to play a mature enough game to stick with the coach. It isn’t surprising that Raymond (lots of pro experience) and Larkin also quickly ascended.
We don’t have to make things up. Super happy with Marco’s progress this season, I hope Danielson can make this kind of impact next year. That would be massive for this team.

Really happy he is trending towards more offense than Lars Eller. I would really prefer he be the net front guy on the 6 on 5, don’t need to see Chiarot out there for that.

Kinda reminds me of Wyatt Johnson's progression? Not the same style of player, but if Kasper can ascend to Johnson's level in the next few years, we would all be thrilled.

Watching Kasper on the goal yesterday he took a route to cover D as Gus was in deep but realized he could lose himself behind Hertl going to the net, as Debrincat forced Wings possession to Kane. Timed himself perfectly to slither in and give Gus an option to get what looked like a super easy looking goal
He has that poise and timing of an NHL vet. Always has this season honestly. The development has been everything we've asked for, consider he's already very polished defensively and still 20 years old. His ceiling could genuinely be unknown at this point
Underrated skill of his: picks pucks off the boards to create plays. The Kopitars of the world do this kind of stuff and it's why they're so important but usually underappreciated

Kopitar would be a great aspiration for Kasper

I'm unsure of Kasper's offensive ceiling vs Johnston as the Stars center had 24 goals and 41 points as a 19 year old in the NHL. Mind you since Dallas is so deep he's played a lot of time on their "3rd line"
Maybe Kasper's skillset is more Selke-inclined than Johnston, which would be awesome for us regardless even if Kasper just becomes ~60-65 point guy. Development isn't linear obviously so I can see a few years with higher point totals than that. Johnston is sick though and probably flirts with 100 a few times at least

Kasper goes to the net more than any player I can remember.

Kasper could be a poor man’s Toews to me, if we are going with a ceiling. Like I really believe he has a lot of the same traits as the prime version. His game is straight forward but he wills it to existence sort of which is hard to describe. Again really impressed with him, when guys make big strides like this we should all be happy.
I don’t think he will have quite the defense, but he is going to do a lot of damage at home plate going to hard areas and playing a complete game with physicality. He gets the game and is willing to sacrifice. That is an elite trait for people that talk great skill set but not elite. Curious to see how he builds. I think you should have confidence he will work hard enough, seems a ton of that like Larkin, Raymond and Seider. Debrincat and Edvinsson compete hard, I think that will be important to the group we are trying to build.
