Sportsnet: Chris Johnston:Kase not qualified

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

According to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston Boston did not quality Kase meaning he will hit the Market Wednesday the question is what kind of market is there? As a Leaf fan I am concerned that Dubas will pursue him because Dubas likes skill, and while Kase skill can not be quesioned, the problem is he's not made of glass his durability is more in line with the durability of a sandcastle, a small gust of wind will destroy him for a month.

But like I said the skill can not be quesioned so there will be a market.

Where does he end up?

They tried to qualify him...he got hurt when they made the offer.

 

[The Duck Knight]

By my count he's had at least 8 concussions since coming to North America. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he calls it quits.

Ahh, so that's the Kase with him....

I know it doesn't read like that, just go with it.

the right decision

 

[BKarchitect]

Made of glass. Has never played more than 66 games in a season. A total of 88 games played the last three seasons and the last two seasons he has 7 goals in 58 games - so even when healthy, it's not like he was producing or developing.

He'll get a minimum show-me deal from somebody for sure if he clears medicals - but not much more. He's a bigger "name" at this point than actual asset simply because he was once a promising looking youngster.

Glass is a stronger material than what he's made of

Really wish we got to see him healthy - but this was the right move.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Kase took the pen to sign the contract but get hurt at the moment

8 concussions? that's Lindros levels if injury

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

This guy needs to stay healthy for 1 season at least if he wants anything more than league min

 

[Anaheim4ever]

The only way he should play hockey again is if his teammates on the ice with him are Tom Wilson, Landeskog, Marchand and Josh Manson acting as his body guards.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Here was the hit that took him out for the season. Judge for yourself if he can stand up to a full season, let alone a playoff series where everyone knows he's made of glass.



I really enjoyed the way he played. He's got a lot of jam and he makes things happen. I'd even give him another crack at $1m but his QO was +$2.3m.

No idea why Sweeney said he was going to qualify him a week ago.

 

[SI90]

I didn’t realize his concussion and injury issues. As first I thought terrible asset management by BOS but to be completely fair to them this is understandable

Cheeseboy needs to sign with the NYR so he can play with Breadman on the sandwich line.

Odd selections of “bodyguards”

Dislocated shoulder when trying to pick up pen?

Is there a source on this? I thought he was at 5 or 6 max. He’s definitely had quite a bit of bad luck and been on receiving end of some bad hits. Felt gutted for him when he got a concussion this season having heard what he’s been through to get back on the ice

 

[JoeSakic13]

Dislocated shoulder when trying to pick up pen?

He must have the same upper body training regimen as Mittelstadt

 

[Oddbob]

Ahh, so that's the Kase with him....

I know it doesn't read like that, just go with it.

Don't worry how it is said. It works!

 

[Oddbob]

All jokes aside, but Bruins GM Don Sweeney slid the contract across the table, the fan sped up the paper too fast, it hit Kase in the upper forehead, causing a concussion and a dent from where the paper landed. He is out 6-8 weeks with concussion and may need surgery for the dent.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

I like Kase as a player. But he makes Bogosian seem durable.

I’d offer him a contract if he passes medicals, but only for a year, and with a GP bonus.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Kase closed

 

[bobholly39]

I remember hearing on HF how Kase is better than McDavid a while back

 

[serp]

He's just never healthy. Someone will give him a chance on a cheap deal and he's probably going to be good on it. Just don't give him a long-term deal afterwards. You probably end up with a Patrick Eaves if you do.
