Wack. Ah well. He’ll get a shot this season at some point, surely.

Guess they’re signing Watson.

I was hoping for MBN to GR personally

Oh boy, some takes will be given in this thread

Pretty bullshit the one guy busting his ass in camp gets the door while other guys are coasting.
Oh well « trust the process »

We saw last year how important even one game can be in the standings. With 82 of them, that “one game” could be any of the 82 games. Kasper makes this team better and it’s a shame that it looks like he won’t have the chance to make the team better for 82 games this year.

Kasper by Halloween or Thanksgiving. Not worried about
Aiomon
So is Johansson staying a wing??
BellsBeersy
Only ones I’m a little surprised by are Kasper not making it since Holl was waived, and also MBN could have been exciting in Grand Rapids. I guess I saw this coming though.
Watson will provide an element the team has sorely missed. Also I’m sure Kasper is #1 on the list when injuries come along for our forwards.

Was really hoping waiving Holl was mainly to make room for Kasper but oh well. From the little I saw he should be up in Detroit sooner than later…. Right?

Little upset kasper isn’t staying in nhl… but having a guy like Watson will be great for the 4th line

Saw someone bring it up that there’s a chance this is a paper move for Kasper since the Wings don’t play until Thursday. The paper move part is that they have the flexibility to try to waive someone to GR after everyone else’s rosters are set
beardofzetterberg
Booo on Kasper not making it. He did everything to show that he deserved a spot and Y couldn’t navigate his own log jam to give him the spot that he earned. I have faith that it won’t take long for him to be on the Wings, but I’m disappointed.

I don’t think it’s surprising, but I imagine we’ll see some call-ups shortly into the season.
Unpopular opinion, but the fact that there’s a discussion for how many of our guys are on the bubble of the roster still means there is work to be done to be a playoff contender. Love or Hate Yzerman, he doesn’t rush the decision
AffectionateMrPink
I’m guessing paper move. Expect Kasper up for game 1
ChucklesLeClown
Kasper will probably be back up after Holl clears waivers
Samplesize313
Kinda shocked MBN didn’t get the GR nod. Really wanted him and Danielson to be together for the season. But ASP and him could develop a great bond on the PP over in the SHL so I don’t hate it

I’m holding out hope that moving Kasper down is just administrative/logistical stuff that we wouldn’t understand and he’s back on the roster before opening night

I’m not super upset about Kasper; I think him getting an extended look and maybe even stealing a roster spot later this year is inevitable.
With that being said, this is all the proof anyone needs to say that we are not icing the best possible roster, and young players can’t always force their way on to the team. Maybe there’s moves to be made, or maybe he just got blocked by too many bad contracts that can’t be moved or buried, but it is 100% fair to say Kasper should be on the opening roster by merit of preseason play alone.

Where is Blashill’s wife???
Mrs. Lalonde is clearly not paying attention.

I so want Soderblom to be good, but I just don’t think he’s gonna make it anymore.

I have been watching ASP and hes arguably their best defenseman so far, he’s very crafty and tough to get off the puck
Matt-JHD
Can someone explain why we are in such a need for an Austin Watson type player over getting our rookies in?
I get that Kasper will get his time this year, but clearly Yzerman doesn’t trust the rookies enough yet. I’m all for letting them develop together in GR, but I can’t see how Watson improves the overall skill of this team minus adding to our goon stats.

I’m not overly hopeful that Kasper is just a poet move. Think more realistic that he ends up down in GR and is called up in November.

Kasper, Danielson and Mazur to GR
MBN to SHL

But this tweet offers some logic on why it could be a paper move. https://x.com/connorearegood/status/1843022678527279526?s=46
kasper has the two way contract right? so he can jump up and down for free – i get the move.
