Defensmen typically have pretty good hand eye from an early age knocking down shots with their stick. I was terrible for doing it up until Bantam and goaltenders hated me for it.
He's a potential franchise defenseman. You don't move them to forward.
He's the heir to Greetsen/Brendan Smith throne as D/F except he's actually skilled to pull it off
Yep, this is why I was so shocked that USA left him off the roster. They would have been much better off with 12F and 8D, and just let Casey move to forward if someone went down mid game.
Hopefully he can be the player you see in him. Potential franchise defender is a lot to live up to.
Honestly it's pretty rare for prospects to actually live up to their "full potential". I think of potential as a prospect's upside scenario, where that type of outcome is in the top 90-95th percentile of all potential outcomes.
I’m sure NJ would be thrilled with that outcome. The smaller guys are tough to project. Some have skill but struggle to make it work.
Can't recall the last franchise Dman who was 5'9 and under 165 lbs.
Jared Spurgeon. One of the most underrated players of his generation.
Can Casey be as good as him defensively?
He doesn’t even need to be Adam Fox for his career to be considered a great success.
Yeah, to be clear I don't expect him to be a franchise level defenseman, but he's got incredible potential.
