This kid is dynamic. I love his game and he was a steal at where he was drafted.

You'd have to think they are trading Nemec

Best defenseman from the 2022 draft. Come at me.

I mentioned on a previous page that I had him at 15 on my 2022 Final Rankings. I've always been a fan & thought most of that 2004 born NTDP group got underrated.

Better than Hutson & Mintyukov?
Will he get a path in NJD? They seem pretty loaded on the right side.

How did he look in yesterday's game? That was one hell of a shot he scored on, but sadly I missed the game.

IMO, yeah. He was my highest ranked dman going into the draft, so you can't call me a homer either
Yeah I think he will, he's jumped Casey in the depth charts. We will likely move on from Hamilton or Kovacevic soonish.

He looked pretty good, battled hard. He and Luke got hemmed in a few times in the 2nd, but he defended really well around the net (and them getting hemmed in really wasn't on him). They outshot the opponent 10-4 with Casey on the ice, though strangely enough he had a 37% xG% or something like that.
He really only made 1 bad play the whole game (in the 1st period).
I thought he played well other than one blip in 1st. I don’t see him returning to AHL this year. He is much better all around compared to Nemec.

Casey is the top rookie defenseman in goal scoring and only in so little games.

Which makes it that much more impressive that he's leading all rookie dmen in goals.
He's not going to shoot like this forever, but he's been absolutely sniping with his wrister.

I always really liked his game. You can see the comments way back, but he has exceeded my expectations. Crazy how he's passed Nemec.
I think he always been really good but scouts start over thinking - Size - elite speed - defending and always discount that when scouting not big dmen
NJ has to move Nemec soon to get back as much as possible. He still has his draft pedigree to maximize the return. The longer they wait, the more risk there is that people clue in to him turning out to be more of a top 4 dman than a top 2.
See Jiricek trade as benchmark.
See Jiricek trade as benchmark.
Seems Nemec has had poor underlying numbers for some time now. Teams with strong analytics departments, like Seattle, will already be suspicious even if their pro scouts aren't yet. Jiricek also has the that desired extra size to fall back on if he misses out on top pairing development.
On that marathon shift when they were hemmed in, he was battling net front with a dude who is 6'5 232 and was holding his own... and as you mentioned it wasn't due to him or Luke that they couldn't get it out
