why are people saying he has to strengthen up? look at how big Cogliano is.
Kase has great skating ability and high i.q as many are witnessing to see him not look out of place every shift or he'd be back in San Diego last week.
Not to rehash what's already been said, but Cogliano is much stronger. Kase gets pushed around way too easily. Cogliano, though he's on the small side in stature, can push people around himself.why are people saying he has to strengthen up? look at how big Cogliano is.

Cogliano isn't very big but he's pretty strong; Kase is a twig out there. He's always in the right spots because of his IQ and skating as you said, but he's losing battles that he would have a better chance of winning if he added some strength. I think it's a fair criticism, and also one of the easiest problems to fix for a young athlete.
I kind of hope that behind the scenes management is asking Kase to work out with Cogs. If the kid could pick up on Cogs' regimen and develop the strength Cogs has it could be great for his career and for our team. I think Cogs is something of a blueprint for what Kase could do to have a long successful career.
Both are feisty, undersized, hardworking players who aren't afraid to get down and dirty in the corner or in the slot, even though their playing styles and skillsets aren't all that similar.Why does everyone compare these two? Am I missing something?

Kase just needs to bulk up. He's playing well but he gets pushed around far too easy and for someone that does put himself in the thick of physical play in the corners and in the slot, not being strong enough is not good enough for the NHL. Cogliano is on the small side in stature but he's thick and strong. Kase is slightly undersized, but he's not strong enough to make up for it like Cogliano is.
He's winning the puck back with his other abilities, but he gets pushed off it again rather too easily.He's not making up for it yet with his ability to keep the puck through a hit. What he does though, is win puck battles by his quickness. He loses the physical battle with guys, but wins the puck back a lot when said player tries to make a play with it. He needs to get stronger, but he's playing well despite his limitations.
I hope people are starting to see the palat comparison..... He backchecks like a beast and has been on the ice for defensive zone face offs at the end of game because he's a puck hound. There is not cogs comparsion.
I still don't see it. I think Palat is much closer in style to Silf than Kase.
Palat is much more skill based than silf
