Prospect Info: #46 Overall, RD Seamus Casey US-NTDP

[Jason MacIsaac]

2G & A tonight. Maybe he is out to smash Luke Hughes's freshman year.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

Wow BU is having a worse game than the Devils did yesterday.

Sheamus Casey , Simon Nemec in one draft year can be insane for this organization if they both pan out. Both RHD too.

Seamus > Luke

Is this young man an ABSOLUTE steal, or what?!

Is this young man an ABSOLUTE steal, or what?!

Many had him ranked in early in the first round at the start of last year. I think he could be.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Luke Who?

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Love these clips, especially that one preseason goal. Love the stats in 3 games, such an exciting young talent.

 

[Devs3cups]

Man having him and Luke on Michigan is really exciting!

We already know Luke’s an elite prospect, but if Seamus can be a top prospect as a RD for us, that’s really something.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Luke Hughes who

Luke Who?

 

[Devs3cups]

I will not tolerate Luke Hughes slander in this thread lol, he DID COPY HIS WHOLE FLOW

 

[JimEIV]

While everyone is debating Casey and Hughes....poor Case McCarthy was a -4 in that game.

 

[Japam]

I'm tired of all these Paul Coffey types. Can he actually defend?

 

[Devils731]

Normally I’d say take with a grain of salt but since Casey is on top then it’s unadulterated truth.

Better prospect than Bedard

 

[My3Sons]

Better prospect than Bedard

At 5’0” and 175 pounds and with his offense maybe he’s an NHL forward?

If this kid keeps it going … we will have an insane D core . Hamilton Hughes Nemec Casey and sprinkle in some Defensive guys like Seigs and Marino . That’s without mentioning Bahl Okhotiuk Mukhamadoulin ……..We won’t have enough roster spots on the right side lol.

Good problem to have, can easily flip them for a legit winger when we need to

Same. Let’s trade Hughes for a Charlie Huddy or Kevin Lowe type .

Hell ya . Young cost controlled RHD … Value would be insane. I’m gettig a tad ahead of myself here but if Casey does continue his play and development …. Honest question , where would he play when we have Hamilton Nemec Marino (Severson? Even more doubtful if Casey plays unreal all season)
plus Luke who has played on the right side for the past 2 1/2 seasons?
Worst case scenario, Luke plays LHD , But then we have one LHD spot left open with Bahl Okhotiuk Mukhamadoulin all fighting for that one spot.
Most guys seem like they are offence first (besides Seigs Bahl Okhotiuk) so the balance of the D will be interesting to see how they work it if all these kids pan out.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

They’re be some Sheldon Sourays, Bombardirs, Deans, Hulses out this group and the others they’ve drafted recently.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Give me every good RD. Those nerds got VALUE

Shakir isn`t offensive D-man. He has some offensive abilities, you can call him some kind of two way, but definitely not offensive defenseman.

And I don`t see many problems with a lot of defensive defensemen. Like we saw, Shero`s idea doesn`t work, and if you have six defensmen who can help to play against, win board battles, can help with transition the puck from defensive zone - it could be quite enough. If you have a couple, who will make impact on blue line - great. But don`t spend your slot for meh defensemen. You will regret.

I agree with you and was trying to say that we almost need more defensive studs than offensive ones now . It would be nice to have one more guy like Seigenthaler . Maybe Bahl / Okhotiuk / Muk / Barabosha or someone else can be that

I think he could end up being the better PP QB.

Many had him ranked in early in the first round at the start of last year. I think he could be.

I had him 4th in my final rankings. Had Nemec 8th like a madman.

We got both though so it doesn't matter.

He would have gone a lot higher if Hutson wasn't hogging all the PP time last year. Stat watching scouts didn't like how his production plateaued, but anyone who was watching the games could see how he was the team's best defenseman.
