Really? because if you look in the threads talking about the trade, you see a lot of people complaining about him being a 4th liner, a JAG, a guy that probably won't even make the NHL roster.

Which is true. AJ Greer was an NHLer for a month in Boston.
My point is: if he was signed for league min to replace Maroon/Lauko this would be a very different thread. But because he was a return in what is widely considered a bad and confusing deal it will always be tied to him.
I look forward to seeing him compete for a spot on the roster this fall. Could be an important guy on the 4th line. Could be in the AHL with Ian Mitchell.

So essentially fans are looking at him emotionally vs rationally. Sounds right for this place.

That is only the case for people who can't let go of things like this, it's real easy to let go, but some won't.
I'm already over it, because I don't have control over what Charlie Brown does.

More of the same but maybe he’ll be good. Hopefully it keeps us away from Maroon at least.

Welcome to HFBoards/Boston where posters are still making comments about the Hamilton, Seguin, Thornton trades even now and every week 2015 is mentioned.
I just watched some of his fights and he is not that good.
Reminds me of Tim Hunter, who never won a fight.
Can we bring back Maroon? lol

Nick Kypreos scored 49 goals and 41 assists in 46 OHL games.....scoring in Junior is much different vs the NHL.
My son, who understands hockey is a huge Sens fan and watches all the games....he told me he sucks, 4th liner at best.
He only plays like 7-8 mins a game.
I hope he is wrong, because we sure need someone to step up to the plate to make this trade work for us.

As a Sens fan who doesn't love migrating to other boards on here I'll say this about Kastelic - with the right coach I believe he could be the ideal 4C in this league. I'm not convinced he ever becomes the player he could be simply because he's held back by a relatively low hockey IQ.
For a big body, he does not play mean like some people are trying to suggest. In fact, our club tried to get him to play mean and with intensity. There's a clip from last year about Alfredsson harping on him for not finishing his man. In my opinion, he took his spot in the NHL for granted.
That said, the Bruins leadership is better than the Sens. It's a make or break year for him no doubt.

I think Kastelic has potential to grow as a player in Boston, too. He’s 56.3% on the draw in his career, which no matter any way people want to spin it, is damn good.
He played limited minutes in Ottawa last year, played physical and chipped in despite limited minutes.
Let’s give it some time before we crucify this dude. He’s got more room to grow as a player here.

Fun fact: Kastelic's TOI minutes rose as the Sens commitment to being tankasauruses rose.

Produced in the WHL, produced decently in his very brief AHL stint last season. Could see him turning into a 25-30 point guy

For me, I don’t even care, I just wish the only toughness the Bruins get is just a guy they rotate on the 4th line. Wish they had a guy in the top 9, but that’s easier said than done.
Interestingly they omit the fact that Both his father and grandfather played at some level for the Boston Bruins.
Of course his agent is going to say this.Mark Kastelic and Parker Kelly a day in the life | Ottawa Senators

yep, always find it funny when the agent chimes in. I know so little about this dude that for me to start chiming in on his game would be silly

"A tough bottom six guy with speed who can drop the mitts when called to will compete for a bottom six roll in Boston. Apparently, according to his mother, he is also a "good boy"
