Ondrej Kase is probably one of the better young players you don't know about

[KaseMeOutside]

No one ever seems to talk about him. As to point 2 he's a 7th liner playing on a third line. Who is expecting him to be in a tier with Barzal and Boeser?

I guess we can only talk about him if he performs like first round picks doing what they're supposed to do

 

[KaseMeOutside]

idk but the title is saying he's one of the better young players so I'm not sure how good he is in the eyes of the OP, but he's not one of the best young players IMO

You should try reading the title again

McDavid > Matthews > Kase

Happy?

I mean sure, but I still don't know what the OP's point is

is he one of the better young players that I don't know about? or is he one of the better young players AND I don't know about him? Bad phrasing really.

Also I know every young player in the NHL pretty much. don't make assumptions next time

He's a 7th rounder, from a small country, playing on a small market team, congrats the title does not apply to you, now go tell us how great all the leafs are some more

not really trying to make it about the Leafs here but you seem pretty keen on it

It seemed very clear to me that he's one of the better players people dont know/talk about. Congrats on knowing about him but that doesn't make him well known.

 

[McDNicks17]

Dislike.

Name is too similar to Kesha.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Is this what HF is now? Nothing but stupid troll posts and no discussion about the player? Christ.

Is that what it is now?

You don’t like metoo etc?

Everyone has forgot to mention the term GENERATIONAL. C'mon guys, we gotta work together here

 

[PensandCaps]

I've liked him for a while. Always caught my eye when i watched Anaheim.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I know who Ondrej Kase is

 

[Goose of Reason]

Kase is one of our best forwards night in and night out. He works his ass off every shift and is one of the more creative players we have offensively. I'm sorry if that doesn't involve Matthews somehow but he's really been a surprise this year. His 1.53 G/60 is good for 13th in the league among players with 35+ games played.

 

[Deuce22]

Forget Kase, our scouts unearthed Auston Matthews.

 

[leafs10101]

I watched him when Anaheim played the Leafs. He's legit.

 

[24 others]

As I don't get to see much of Kase, what are his main skills?

Come on!
He was funny. I did laugh.

 

[ayrton2388]

In my head I pronounce it "Ondredge Case"

This is Onjay Kopidor all over again.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Just another original leafs pick... we just dont miss with them

 

[PunkRockLocke]

It's weird how when a new late round pick established himself as an everyday NHL player it's a big deal, but when a 1st round pick has the same numbers he is a bust....

Expectations? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's a 7th liner? So he's an AHL 3rd liner?

On a serious note, Kase is a Shark killer and I believe he was already a Shark killer in his rookie year despite less than stellar overall production against the other 28 (at the time) NHL teams, so you don't have to fill me in on him. He's a hell of a player.

As a 205th overall pick, he's already in some good company with Pavelski and Lundqvist.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Last year in his rookie season he posted a modest 5G, 10A, 15 point -1 season in 53 games, he showed some promise but we knew he had a ways to go.

Fast forward to this season He's more than tripled his goal scoring output(16) and has nearly doubled his point total(29) with a +14 in 43 games.

Nobody really knows who he is but he's a pretty good young player

A lot of people know of him and his game, there is this thing called NHL.tv, it allows you to watch games and he was a kid that impressed enough last season as well, you could see a guy that just needed time to figure out his game.

These type of threads are what we need to not really see more of ever again.
