Of course.

I would describe him as more of a playmaker. He is excellent at anticipating play in the offensive zone. He has very good hockey IQ - one of the best in his age group In my opinion. He is one of those players that may not be the best of skaters, the best shooter, or the biggest but he always finds a way to contribute because of how he sees the ice. Very promising player indeed.

Good description. He's very gritty. He might not be a terrific skater, but he plays quick. His feet are always moving. He's good defensively. He seems to have an impact on most shifts.

There are obstacles for him being 5'10, not the best skater, not the most skilled, but could certainly see him being a second round pick. Sometimes a team will really like this type of player and he can sneak into the late first round.

Not bad start. Can be a riser to end 1st rd.

Finally had time to watch a Broncos game and I'm impressed by Caswell. Very good defensively. Coach trusts him to be on the penalty kill as well as being put on the ice in the final minutes in short handed situations. Wears an "A", which is always a good sign for a 17 year old.

Ended up with 1G,, 1A.

 

[Keystone]

On a bit of a heater with 20 points in last 10 games. Will be interested to see if he can raise his stock, playing with Geekie, as Central Scouting had him falling down to 68 amongst NA skaters.

A smaller Mark Stone?

But I hate player comps it just came to mind.

I hate player comp also unless it REALLY reminds me of somebody.

I don't see Mark Stone. Stone used his physicality way more and Caswell is much faster than Stone.

Yes we are both right player comps don't work that well and I was thinking perhaps in term of their impact in 2 way play for their careers and that's with projection for Caswell.

Welcome to Seattle

Quick start to the season.

Does he look much improved?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Not had much of a chance to watch his games but he has had a pretty great start to his season with 28 points in 16 games.
