NHL Draft 2022 - Round 1.. & Round 2-7

[Mitchrapp]

Wings have pick 8.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hour in, 5 picks. They speak in both French and English, teams bring up their whole org. including their kids - and thank everyone.

Finally on the clock..

Yzerman all business makes the quickest pick all night.

Marco Kasper C.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Kasper played at Rogle. We have a few prospects that played there and Mo Seider played there for a time.

Is he any good ?

Is he any good ?

Don't know. Yzerman thinks so. Some say he didn't score much in the SHL but he played against men at age 17. If he scored more he would have been drafted higher.

2-way player and is speedy. Can play all 3 forward positions. Played for a good coach and works hard. High character and good work ethic.

Trust Stevie I guess.

Most Experts have Kasper ranked outside the top 10.

I saw someone rank him 5 another 20+ and others in the teens. He was probably gone by 12 imo. Though I always point out Seider not being a top 10 pick and went 6th and he just won a Calder. Hopefully it works out.

All the "experts" said Seider was a huge reach too
