RD Seamus Casey (2022, 46th, NJD)

Exactly, Casey at this point looks more like a Tony DeAngelo or Calen Addison than anything tbh.

Dear lord that's a brutal take.

Watch a game.

I’m sure you would have said the same thing 4 years ago had I said Ty Smith looked terrible and was overrated (I did)

The same Casey who just got sent down and is fighting for minutes on a crowded new jersey blue line? Might be ahl rookie of the year tough.

It’s a typo. Should read Calder Cup.

You realize how silly it makes you look to comment on a player you haven't watched, right? Because nobody who watched those Casey this year would compare him to Smith.

I didn’t compare him to Smith, I compared him to Addison and Deangelo.

The name Ty Smith was brought up to highlight how fans can and will overvalue a player because they are young and new. It also helps he was also a Devils prospect.

Casey more than held his own playing primarily with another young defenseman in Nemec *and* on his off side. It was always going to be a numbers game with Hughes and Pesce coming back, there was almost no chance he would stay up no matter how he played.

Comparing him DeAngelo and Addison is pretty comical.

Those comparisons warrant the same criticisms. Casey is a very solid defensive player, especially for a 20 year old kid.

He showed he is NHL ready and is a young exciting NHL player but it’s not a bad idea letting him play in the AHL a lot this season too. The schedule in pros is considerably different than what he’s used to in NCAA… I have no issue with this at all having him play in the minors
