C Marco Kasper (2022, 8th, DET)

[SoundAndFury]

And losing their top scorer and their top defenseman is a pretty serious deviation from "keeping the core intact."

Yes, they lost 2 important players, that's life. They have Mozik and Zaar from the start of the year to replace those, though. Sheen and Rosdahl were supposed to be just flat-out improvements compared to the last year's opening night. This is a great roster. It's not just good, it's great.

Yes, they are not playing well at the moment, top to bottom but it's not the first nor the last time good teams struggle. When everyone on your team is underachieving usually the goal shouldn't be just to "go get another guy". They got plenty of "guys".

But the team really needs to go out and hire. Like I said, Marco is not a 1c in the league yet, Tambellini hasnt played like one, Ferguson hasnt played like one. So get one. Or get a winger to pair with Tambellini and enable him, that's great for Marco too because it pushes another good winger down to him.

they signed Linus Sandin. Should be a good addition. I'd expect them to be looking for defensive upgrades as well.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Rogle with 4 wins in 5 games after our little talk. HFBoards classic.

goal and assist for Kasper today so far

Ended up with 3 points, had an assist on the empty net goal. 56% on draws as well. He plays so intense/fast all the time. With the points coming as well

straight to the net with a nice backhand

Others have already mentioned this, but I love how “inside driven” he is - always looking for a way to get the puck into the dangerous areas in the middle of the ice, and frequently succeeding. He’s exceptionally good at driving play to the middle of the ice for his age. A very NHL-transferable style too.

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Wish he would get better linemates considering how much he drives the play.

 

[Pavels Dog]

This was disgusting

 

[Sticktape]

Such an interesting and exciting player

The ability to receive passes in motion is an underrated skill, and one that Kasper possesses in spades. That move reminded me of the time datsyuk one hand dragged an inaccurate pass through his legs and sniped one against the bruins in the POs

On one of his wings he has Lyrenäs who has the second highest ppg on Rögle, and on the other is Larsson who is #2 in Rögle when it comes to goals.

But sure, change them up.

Wow

I can't stop watching or emphasize enough how good this play was

Woow that would be the best Michigan ever! What a play...

I'll never forget that. When it happened I just laughed and said WTF. The pass was so far behind him and he just did it in stride like nothing. The opposing players were right in the area of the puck and he just scooped it and was gone. Of course he would skate down the ice and snipe one after that too.

Thank you for that.

Right, two mediocre wingers. Like I said, it'd be nice for Kasper to have some linemates that are anywhere close to his skill level.

That line has stayed together for a reason. They are a combined +29 while the rest of the forward group is a combined -36.

It doesn't start making sense just because you repeat it.

 

[haulinbass]

It doesn't start making sense just because you repeat it.

It made sense the first and the 2nd time. What he is saying is, those players haven't produced at those rates prior to playing with Kasper. So he would like to see how how Kasper would perform with players that might help increase Kaspers production instead of Kasper increasing his linemates production.

How is 9 in 13 “almost a PPG player”?? That’s a 56pt pace over 82…not a PPG

Okay it's a 0.69.2 PPG average give or take.
