Man cmon Marco
Definitely had higher expectations

[DocBrown]

The first two picks are busts. The others are not compelling at this point. The legacies are in charge of the future and are not distinguishing themselves.

Don’t know what is going on with Marco but I don’t think he’s a bust yet
Or maybe I’m being hopeful

[Stevie_Wings]

Imagine labelling a 19 year old with 1 game of NHL experience played with a bad knee and a handful of AHL games post surgery, a bust; I'm hopeful that people are a bit more reasonable than that.
He's adjusting to a new everything in the AHL with a new coaching staff, a younger GR team which hasn't started that well, give it some time.

[Pop Zeus]

Too soon to imply Kasper's a bust.
But he was regarded as the most NHL-ready prospect in his draft, which is hard to believe at this point.
Whether it's the 3 on 3 tournament, rookie tournament or pre-season, he looks nowhere near ready. I don't think the AHL has shown anything either.

[DocBrown]

I base my opinion on what I’ve seen. His skill set. I don’t see it. For the Marco narcos what is it in his game that you find even mildly appealing? Beyond camp and into the GR games I’ve seen he’s invisible. Is he still hurt? He is not mobile, he is not shifty. He doesn’t seem at all like a center.
