haha! i'll take it from here...

Maybe he'll work out, maybe he'll be a bust. Hoping for the former, wouldn't be surprised by the latter. Only time will tell.

I remember watching Casto play in the Minnesota State High School tourney in 2010....he led Hill Murray HS to the final against perennial powerhouse Minnetonka, where they played I think 4 OT's. I believe it was the second longest game in MN State tourney history. Anyhow....Casto was epic in that game. Kid was ALL over the ice.

He's good size, pretty good skater for his size. Was offensively minded in HS, a fair distributor while with Lincoln (USHL) but developed more stay at home tendencies as his USHL time and UMD career progressed.

I wish Chia would focus on fixing problems on the NHL level instead of dumpster diving. Yes...I'm getting antsy. haha

You have 16k+ posts in under 3 years! Wow. Impressive.

'Dont call him Fidel' Castro is giving me his best Phanuef face in that picture.

It's Casto, not Castro. But if he can take Providence like Fidel took Santa Clara, I'm with him.

Had no idea he poked fun of his name on twitter

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

If that was a joke it was in poor taste.

Fun police, fun police

Can't believe he stole Pavel Kolarik's jersey number.

The guy's twitter name literally has Fidel in it.

Not worth my time or effort.

Thanks

I liked what I saw from him in camp but that feels so long ago.

He's over 5'9" - I like it.

In that picture, he looks like he would be taller than Krug if he was on his knees

They signed a defensman over 6 feet? Does Don Sweeney know about this?

I'm guessing he does, being that he is probably tied up and locked in a closet somewhere...he can not be pleased!
