Went to the RPI game last night to watch Kasdorf.
He was very good for about 55 minutes and then it all fell apart.
As I saw it last night (my only experience watching him live), he has very good rebound control. His weaknesses seem to be his lateral movement and positioning. Quite often his angles were off and an NHL player would make him pay for that pretty consistently. He also seemed very slow getting across on a few plays (one being the first goal against). He over committed to the shooter that was on the halfwall and instead of shooting the guy made the obvious pass to a forward streaking to the net for an easy tap in.
Overall though, they lost because they couldn't put the puck in the net, not because of Kasdorf. He looks promising but definitely has a lot to work on before he'll ever be a regular in the NHL.
A friend of mines son goes to RPI. Has seen Kas a lot. According to him, this game was the exception not the standard for his performance. I ran your assessment across to him, he did say Kas needs to develop more but his movement isn't a large issue.
It sounds like you both somewhat agree on not breakthrough, and that's to be expected.
