I can't say enough about how Kasper appears to be Seider 2.0
Going into the draft Seider had:
limited ice time was focused on defense was big and mature physically Wings felt his offensive skills went massively overlooked Going into this draft Kasper was:
limited in ice time focused on defense big and mature physically Wings felt his offensive skills went massively overlooked Seider was our Pronger. Kasper is our Kopitar.

No way im doing this.

In what world does Yzerman sign Zadina to $4M? Itll be $2M max imo.

Stevie said at the draft that they thought his skill is underrated. If the Red Wings are right, this kid is gonna be a beast!

Did any of you guys get to watch the development camp 3 on 3 tournament? If not, check out the games on youtube. You'll be surprised at how skilled Kasper can be. Fans and draft analysts kept saying he didn't have the skill of some other guys. That's not what I saw in the tournament. If he'd been in the CHL he'd have posted gaudy numbers and nobody would have thought that.

I have it an A-. Kasper was the best pick at 8, and people are going to love how much better this kid is than what was billed. He scored marginally worse than Lucas Raymond in his draft year, despite playing fewer minutes for a more defense heavy club. Plus his coach in Rogle openly said they told him to play conservatively if he wanted to stay in the lineup. He's going to be awesome.
Then we took another Bertuzzi/Mazur in Dylan James and two super skilled, high upside, guys in Buchelnikov and Lombardi.
Only giving it an A- because the 3rd we used on Jusso got used on Aleksanteri Kaskimaki and I really liked him in the 3rd round before the draft.

The C version of Seider

Soderblom signed.

8oa - Marco Kasper or Cutter Gauthier
40oa - Ivan Miroshnichenko or Gleb Trikozov
52oa - Lian Bichsel or Sam Rinzel

Coulda been so much better with faces photoshopped rather then logos.
Rantanen Makar MacKinnon Landeskog
                    McDavid

Still really like Kasper and Nazar, but I'm becoming a Cutter Gauthier fanboy as well.

Oh hes smol? Pass then. SY is building a height and girth roster. Savoielet would bring down our average.

Viro sucks Tuomisto sucks Kivenmaki sucks Kotkansalo sucks Saarijarvi sucked. Notice a trend? Stop drafting s***ty Finns.

Damn this looks f*cking good - nice surprise at the end

The Swedes are coming

Really hoping Soderblom makes the team. The potential matchup issues this kid is going to cause for other teams is going to be tremendous. 
Imagine you staple him to the top line with Larkin. Opposing teams won't be able to deploy their smallish top Dmen against our top forward line. Dmen like Hughes, Makar, Krug, etc. They wont be able to handle his sheer size and strength. As long as this kid isnt timid. Doesnt have to be mean. Just not timid. 
Not to mention, this isnt a Rasmussen situation either. This kid has way more skill AND benches a whopping 300 lbs. Other teams will be forced to deploy their bigger, stronger, slower Dmen against our top line. Guys like Zadorov, Chara, Oleksiak, etc. This could be a scoring buffet for our top line.
Vrana - Larkin - Soderblom
Bertuzzi - UFA - Raymond
All of the sudden we have a deep top 6.
Fabbri - Rasmussen/Veleno/Suter - Berggren
And a 3rd scoring line ready to come into its own.
If SY can sign some decent Dmen and Eddog performs as billed - we could have an exciting season ahead of us. 

Ok. That makes a little more sense.
I think itd be difficult finding many outside of Red Wings fans that wouldnt take Wallstedt over Cossa on draft day and even more so today.

The only one who hasnt been paying attention to Soderblom is you apparently.
I absolutely agree, he's more of a sniper than net front type. He's used primarly in off hand shooting postions on the PP. But he does play net front and he's VERY good at it. He's very creative at finding ways to score in front of the net. It's one of his biggest strengths. There's plenty of footage of this. Go watch it. 
And really? You're citing Max Buttman as your ace in the hole? The same guy who called Seider a mistake? You need to do your homework and stop relying on butt boy to tell you how to think.
