Prospect Info: #8OA, Marco Kasper

[Snuggs]

Didn't watch him play this weekend but I have this season.

Can we hit the brakes again, 5 points in a weekend is awesome and hopefully he keeps it up but it's also 25% of his point total in the whole season so far made up in two games against the same team in one weekend. 50% of his goal total.

Everyone's quick to try and be vindicated for supporting him. Hot weekend is awesome, lets hopefully watch it roll in to a week, then two, then a month, etc. before we pile on the HOF'er comparisons.

 

[Snuggs]

Just scored again. Up to 18 points in 36 games.

I hope he keeps it up, especially the goal scoring. I just seen highlights, but the one goal where he scores first was a nice sniper shot.

There will be no brakes. This capitalism-loving non-regulated freight train is going to steamroll right into the HOF, leaving behind nothing but wreckage and severed limbs of Kasper adversaries!

In the last month Kasper has 4 goals and 7 assists in 10 games. What now? What!? Say something!!

 

[Snuggs]

Touche', HOF it is.

If Kasper isn't hitting the brakes, then neither shall we!

Bro, people spent weeks shitting on the kid because he was cold after starting the season with next to no camp.
We can cheer him on when he's hot and playing to the potential Detroit drafted him for. Relax.

 

[Ezekial]

19 year old in AHL starts slow and he must be a sucky bust

Starts to heat up, chill guys pump the breaks

 

[Retire91]

LOL "Can you guys please stop not fitting my narrative."

Kasper got a lot of unearned break pumping can ya'll just exercise some practice in being wrong gracefully.

 

[Snuggs]

I said Touche' HOF it is. From all the post seems to be Zetterberg 2.0. No doubter perennial 50 plus point player. What else do you want?

I said pump the breaks cause he's getting compared to some extremely good players. When I mentioned Carter Mazure scoring a bunch in his thread, I didn't come up with HOF comparisons/projections for him. Just pointed out he's doing well currently. Granted, sure he wasn't drafted top 10 either so HOF type projections for Mazuer are a bit more wild but still.

It's not really about narrative or wrong/right. Why in the world would I be mad if Kaspers good or Super good even and actually is Zetterberg 2.0, him being good is only going to help entertain... ME! It's not a bad thing for me.

 

[Snuggs]

I mean it's not like I'm this guy for crying out loud.

 

[HoweFan]

American Hockey League player of the week! No more bust talk!

 

[Oddbob]

American Hockey League player of the week! No more bust talk!

Yeah, but he wasn't the SHL player of the week, and I don't see him as player of the week in the NHL either, PATHETIC!

 

[SCD]

He only has value if he becomes player of the week two weeks in a row.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

You guys misread. It's "Player of the Weak", because he's a bust.
Bustko Bustpar.

 

[Ezekial]

Player of the week more like player that still needs work

 

[HoweFan]

Yeah he still needs work, but for this week he was the best there was in the AHL. You have to admit his status is trending upwards at least

1 point basically first third of the season, solid in second third of the season and game coming around after missing camp, last third of the season point per game and getting accolades from the league. After the season he had last year, hesmuch more deserving of hype than break pumping.

Someone saying they saw shades of Zetterberg the way he protected the puck doesnt mean ayone thinks hes going to be Zetterberg, that should be obvious

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

he's def no brady cleveland, thats for sure

 

[lilidk]

Is Cleveland the most bust prospect we have now?, How about Draper

 

[PokeyTheCat]

You mean future Norris/Conn Smythe/Vezina winner Brady Cleveland???

 

[ricky0034]

at least Draper was a 7th rounder

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Cleveland is only half the bust that Danielson is, and Danielson is only a third of the bust that Kasper is.

It's busts all the way down.

 

[lilidk]

I think he's doing pretty good for 7th round pick, now it's too early to judge 2023 draft

 

[Austrianwing]

It's busts all the way down.

So, if Kasper is a perfectly average bust, Cleveland will be one sixth of a bust. What proportion of bust do superstar players have? What is the ratio between an NHL/AHL tweener and a generational NHL talent? Help me out here, without having ratios, all non-busts are infinitely better players than busts, but that ends up ill-defined since all non-busts should be perfect, but some still seem to be better than others

Superstar players are 0% busts.

Alexandre Daigle is 100% bust.

Marco Kasper is 70% bust.

Go from there.
