C Marco Kasper (2022, 8th, DET)

[57special]

Want him to be available for the Wild to pick.

 

[jibbz]

2 assists today in a 3-2 win

No. I'm tired of Minnesota drafting all the guys I want. You got Rossi, Wallstedt, Lambos, McBain, Novak and Marat Khuznutdinov. Let the Wings have this one! Please!!!

Hard to see him lasting past the mid-1st.

I could see the Jackets taking him at 12, especially if they don’t get a center with the Chicago pick.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Looks like he’s got decent size and skating. Plays the middle and had good production. I’m a fan

 

[Antonche]

Is Casper a clone of Lundell?

I think they’re similar as prospects. Kasper is probably the better skater of the two at the same age. Lundell has the superior shot, but Kasper has a pretty good one as well.

Talking about good timing with a post...this and then the very next post is him blasting a rocket.

I've been saying it all season. I watched some of Rogle's CHL games where he looked really solid early on. He's always going to the net when he has the puck.

I know you've been conducting the Kaspar train. I was on board very early as well. You've obviously been able to watch him more than I have, but I think we've both mentioned him since late last fall. I posted that 2nd vid as well, can't remember if it was here or in the detroit draft thread. I think that vid got me pretty pumped for him. It's been great to see him progress and suddenly him getting drafted 9-12 isn't such a reach!

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Nice assist

Nice assist

There are people calling him a 4th line grinder. That is not what a 4th line grinder looks like lol, IMO he is very similar to Necas. He is probably 3rd best C in this draft class

 

[Artorius Horus T]

I am loving his worlds game!

He plays with so much confidence.

He’s 13th overall on my list. Depending on whether you call Nazar or Savoie centers, he’s my 5th-7th rated center.

1. Wright (C)
2. Slafkovsky
3. Cooley (C)
4. Nemec
5. Jiricek
6. Savoie (C/W)
7. Gauthier (C)
8. Geekie (C)
9. Nazar (C/W)
10. Kemell
11. Mateychuk
12. Mintyukov
13. Kasper (C)

I love Kasper. One of my favorites. But 3rd best center is a stretch.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

I really think he’s going to be a top 6 center.

 

[GoBoltz56]

Detroit at 8.

 

[Beckett]

Detroit at 8.

Yup. Or Anaheim at 10

 

[Fatass]

Kid is on the rise. Was hoping he’d be there’s for Van at 15. But he’s easily in the top 10 and moving up fast.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Detroit at 8.

I'd 100% take Kasper at 8, Kid is going to be a stud.

100%. He is in fact exactly number 8 on my list right now.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Detroit at 8.

Yup he's definitely an Yzerman pick 100%

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

100%. He is in fact exactly number 8 on my list right now.

He's 100% an Yzerman guy, Wouldn't shock me if Detroit doesn't take him with the 8th overall pick.

I want you to be wrong about this. I want to go back to the before times, when Kasper was floating around in the late teens and 20's.
