kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 I love this pick. Also love the Amadeus Lombardi pick. That's a sleeper. Kid looked really skilled at the development camp, just needs to get bigger. Big fan of the 2nd rounders too. Huge draft for Detroit. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 Kasper will be good. Wright is the one with Zadina potential. I wanted Savoie or Kasper, so no complaints here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redw1ngs 149 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 Kasper was an elite pick. SY doesnt miss on 1st round picks (unless he has 2 1st round picks)........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 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. 1 redw1ngs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People tend to forget that the european leagues are no development leagues like the AHL. The kids have to play against grown men at the age of 17 and if you don´t play the right way you´re not playing. That´s why their offensive potential is sometimes overlooked.

And to be clear, he wasn't out there playing like Patrick Kane or anything. But he seemed to display just as many puck skills as guys like Cutter Gauthier, Shane Wright, or Frank Nazer (none of whom were criticized as having limited offensive upside). And unlike those guys his game is FAST. I don't mean "he's fast", as in, straight line skating. I mean the tempo of his game is crazy. He's always moving. So all the skill he displays is at a high speed and in game situations. This isn't Tomas Jurco trick stick handling in the locker room. This is a dude dragging pucks through defenders legs and no-look passing while taking the puck end to end a top speed. He'll be fine.

LeftWinger 4,962 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 Sheesh! We're back, but dang it sucked not being here during the draft and UFA day! ....anyhow... Trust the #Yzerplan! I was on team Savoie, but Kasper is coming from a men's league, and looks like he'll be playing one more season there. Probably more ready to play when he gets here.

He was invisible at the WJC, and in his media interviews leading up to the draft he came off as a weirdo. Apparently, he bombed his team interviews too.

LeftWinger 4,962 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 as much as I wanted us to draft Savoie, not enough can be said about a 17 year old playing in a men's league compared to 17 year old's playing each other. Sometimes we get blinded by inflated stats! That is why I will never trust 99% of the players coming out of the Q! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the fundamentals are there along with the right attitude. The scoring in junior is just icing on the cake tbh. While Kasper doesn't have that same level of skill, he has the other tools in spades, along with more grit and size. It was always gonna be a win/win regardless of which Yzerman got. 1 Akakabuto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 Just now, kipwinger said: Dude has ZERO personality. He is also awkward as f*** and has this weird, unearned arrogance about him. Like, McDavid has no personality either, but god damn that dude took his team on his back in the playoffs this year. I don't see any of that in Wright. He reeks of passenger. Wright will be the bust of the 2022 draft. Zadina all over again, except this time the role of Ken Holland was played by Ron Francis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redw1ngs 149 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 Wright wont be the top player out of this draft maybe not even top 5 but he wont be a bust. Hell likely go back to Kingston and put up 2pts/gp this season and then go to Seattle and put up over 0.5pts/gp next season. I think hell be close to a pt/gp 2way center in his prime yrs. Agree tho that he seems like a tool. The dirty looks he was giving the montreal table at the draft was major cringe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he'd been in the CHL he'd have posted gaudy numbers and nobody would have thought that. I watched quite a bit of it. The timing of the dev camp tourney and the end of the NHL playoffs gave me some perspective about Kasper. He plays playoff hockey all the time, fast, good vision and controls the puck and the flow really well. I didn't think he was going to be that good. Lombardi was great 3 on 3 but I wonder how the lack of space will translate playing 5 on 5. Getting bigger and stronger will help him as the kid has a nose for the net. 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
