Devil Dan 56 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 According to some of the scouting sites, needs to add some muscle and he’s only 5’10 but another RHD who can move the puck. One scout said he plays a “Brian Rafalski style” so that’s cool. Looks like we are stacking up on a weakness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Easily one of the worst names we have ever drafted. No idea why anyone would name their kid Seamus. Bad enough the poor kid had a first name for a last name as it is. You can never trust a person with 2 first names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pronman had him at 49. I saw a few mocks with him going 43 and 45, so he wasn’t a reach. Picked right about where expected.

pumpkin cutter Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 God I love this kid and really hope he works out. His family loves the devils and they’re from around here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Here was Pronman’s analysis Quote Background: Casey was a top-four defenseman for the U.S. NTDP this season, lining up on both special team units consistently. He is a rare NHL prospect to come out of the Miami, Florida area and play youth hockey for the Florida Alliance program. He’s committed to Michigan. Analysis: Casey has NHL caliber skating and skill. His ability to skate pucks out of trouble and up the ice is quite noticeable. He has good hands to maneuver in tight areas and make skilled rushes. On the power play he displays good poise and vision to make plays and can make strong outlets too. I wouldn’t call him truly dynamic with the puck though, which leaves some scouts wondering, as a small defenseman, what his NHL role will be. He defends well enough in junior due to his skating, but for a 5-foot-10 defenseman his defending will be the question as he advances levels. I project him as a full-time third pair defenseman. .

Devilsfan118 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Lots to like about this pick, I think. Seems like a really high ceiling relative to his draft position, just needs to be developed. Will be playing with Luke at UM next year so that's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrydevil Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 He's smooth. Didn't see much defense in that video, though. I know, picky, picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
