Saw a few on Twitter and here speculate that Kasper may join Detroit or GR for the remainder of the season since Rogle is out of the playoffs. This interview throws cold water on that idea
I translated it in yesterday game thread.
ANGELHOLM. Marco Kasper will settle in Detroit next season.
After Rögle’s exit, the talent was emotional about the fact that he played the last game at the club.
– I got really emotional in the dressing room when we went around and hugged, he says.
18-year-old Marco Kasper is the Austrian who became Swedish in Ängelholm. For three seasons he has belonged to Rögle and established himself as an SHL player.
Last summer, he was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings, as number eight overall, and has been on loan to Rögle this season. Now he may have done his thing in Sweden.
– I have a contract with Detroit and it will probably be that I try over there in North America. That’s the plan, anyway, he says.
Emotional after the match
This means that the quarter-final against Skellefteå may have been his last match in Rögle and when he came out after the match there were more tremors in his voice and tears in his eyes.
– I got really emotional in the dressing room when we walked around, hugged and said thank you for a good season, he says and continues:
– I want to thank all my teammates, Chris (Abbott), Cam (Abbott) and the whole association for giving me the chance and being a part of this journey. It was incredibly fun to come here and it is a big part of my hockey career that I spent here.
Paying tribute to the supporters
Despite the fact that there was a loss in the last game, the team was praised by the crowd when the final whistle sounded. – It also makes you very sad that it could be the last game here in Rögle. They are the best fans in Sweden.
What do you say about your season this year?
– Right now I’m very sad that the season is over, but I’m still very happy that I got to play a good season here in Rögle. I still think that I have been able to develop throughout the season.
Aiming to graduate
In parallel with his hockey career, Kasper has attended high school in Ängelholm and the hope is to remain in Sweden until the summer to be able to graduate.
– There is also a WC coming up, but I will try to do as much schoolwork as possible so I can graduate, says Kasper before he enters the gym to close the season
I remember when I was in high school and getting excited to graduate so I was able to sleep in during the summer and pick college classes that didn’t start before noon. Not graduate and come help lead an iconic team to another Stanley Cup final!
Maybe I needed a different guidance counselor.
I think hes ready for GR next season and he can take his time. I’m sure Yzerman doesn’t want to rush him. Crazy that he’s still in high-school. I feel like fans tend to think players are older than they are when most under 25 have only had a season or two in the NHL.
