But Casey isn’t like Butcher so it’s odd to want to compare the 2 in some way.

i think my 'thing' is different the the other "thing" that was said

it is for me, will was solid in NCAA but he was a flash in the pan. i'm just wary of small dmen @Devils731

Butcher can’t skate

Do we really want to talk about your "thing", though?

What we need for Development Camp ^

Butcher could not skate to save his life. Seamus isn’t a burner like McDavid in a straight line, but his agility and quickness is exceptional.

 

[Hisch13r]

Even beyond the glaringly obvious skating differences Butcher didn’t break out until his Junior year. His first 2 years he had 16 and 18 pts both in 38 games. Casey had 29 pts in 37 games this year with one of the top data sets in the country

No, saying someone is going to be him, I know he was a horrific skater. I don't know why people would compare Casey and Butcher, that's what I meant.

 

[Guadana]

Just please don`t compare Butcher with Casey. I would take Casey in 1 000 000 times out of 10 in trade, draft, FA market etc. Butcher was a cow on the ice. Casey may will have a problem in NHL, but he is electric player with awesome potential and puck battles issues(may be, may be he will use his small size to gain musclus right and protect the puck the way Bratt is doing it).

 

[Darkauron]

Yeah Casey is not even comparable to Butcher.

 

[Guadana]

Butcher and Smith were two the most horrible players in "expectation - reality" category, but I don`t understand what people expect from both, I think having Marino for 3 round pick, 5 round pick, Butcher and Smith is a great output. Strange decision from Fitz camp to draft players with bad skating when we literally have a lot of bad skaters in roster(ex-roster) pool from bust category. Casey can find himself in position of the best "stealed" prospect from the draft, because he can be quicker with the puck on the short distance than most of his opponents.

I agree the bad skater picks are surprising in today's NHL.

Please don't butcher Casey

Please don't butcher Casey

But you need Caseying's so the Butcher can make sausages.

Other than some general Casey has skill posting and Hameenaho scoring a goal in a shootout do we have any real idea of what the players are doing at the Development Camp and who is playing well? Pity they didn't offer any online stream.

They will stream team red vs team white game tommorrow.

Isn't there usually a stream for the Friday scrimmage, or are they not doing that this year?

i apologize for comparing the two and being a sizeist

It’s like the online content team saw the roster and went, “Eh, no big deal”

Usually we at least get written recaps of all the goals, some opinion commentary, and some videos.

This year we’ve gotten a few PR articles, still photos, and a couple of interviews. Better than nothing but I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the actual hockey being practiced/played.

They had a packed house yesterday so the interest in what was going on is still there.

I forgive you.

Smoked, over Blackwood, sausages.

i was thinking last night that it feels like we’re getting a lot less updates about the day to day activities than we have previously. Could just be coincidence. The Devils’ twitter posted about a trip to West Point about an hour ago.
