Player Discussion Mark Kastelic

[goldenblack]

Btw last game, Kasty almost 12 minutes.

Freddy, Brazeau, almost 12 minutes.

Geekie under 10 minutes

The promotion is already basically happening....coach is coaching for his job

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Definite bright spot.

Shame Sweeney was too cowardly to make more bottom 6 changes doshing Coyle or Geekie could have really helped or even better Carlo for a top 6 winger.

5 pts in 4 games. +5. 58.6% in the dot. Was 24 years old the last time anyone saw him play hockey before we got him.

Maybe in Ottawa it was hard to know his true ceiling. Mike Fisher with the Sens had a lot of seasons like 13/19/32 or 18/20/38. His 51 and 53 pt seasons were outliers in his 19 year career.

So do I think Kastelic has 30 pt potential WITHOUT any power play time? Yeah bud. I do. And Monty doesn't mess around. If Kasty is playing well, he's seeing more ice.

Hell with 30 points, he's the next Cam Neely!

No idea why you're being passive aggressive with the image. I hope Kasty can become a bonafide 3C, I really liked him a lot. I love his playstyle, I like how he defends teammates and will fight anyone.

Fisher was an elite shutdown guy, one of the fastest skaters we had, played 2C as much as he did 3C. After the lockout, at age 25, he also paced at 53 points, 58 points, 49 points, 32 points, 55 points. It's more likely that Kastelic's high end is in the low 30s, I have an extreme doubt that he gets anywhere close to 50. And there's nothing wrong with that.

If Kastelic can become a physical terror 3c that can hit 30-35 points or 15-20 goals with no pp time it's more then worth it considering that's what many hoped Frederic would become.

Only 25 more points to go until he hits 30! The bottom 6 is terrorizing other teams.

If the Bruins had drafted a strong skating, power forward prospect who put up 47 goals in 66 games as a 19 year old captain in the WHL, where would he be ranked?

In regards to Kastelic getting a line promotion, he's earned it... but I think he's currently benefiting from not having to go against the other team's best D pairs / centers like he would if he got bumped into a top 6 role. I think they need to let the 4th line keep doing what they're doing... they all have chemistry with each other and putting up some points. It's up to the others to find their game - there's enough talent there where they should.

I feel like you’re wrong. I feel like 4th Lines often line up against top pairs and top forward Lines. Especially when the other team has last change.

I’ll be honest though I could be wrong. I don’t have stats to back this up. I just feel like I see a lot of top units out against the fourth line.

I think fourth line guys are generally defensive specialists and/or violent animals.

He would have been a good replacement for our Jared Knight statue and all the Mary K's that came before him (Kalus, Karsums)

Depends…was he drafted in the fifth round despite that production? Did he put up 43 points in 82 games across three seasons in the A, followed by 25 points in 114 games in the NHL?

What a unbelievable pick up by Donny maestro!
