Reactions to the draft: “Marco Kasper will become a star at Detroit”

The emotions are still great. Understandably. The moment when Detroit Red Wings’ Marco Kasper was selected in eighth place will remain in the memory of the man from Klagenfurt forever. “It’s just awesome,” bubbled out of the otherwise so hardened and even prouder dad Peter Kasper. “Marco got the best NHL organization for himself. And now he’s already in Detroit.” As soon as General Manager Steve Yzerman called him on stage at Montreal’s Bell Arena, Kasper already had all the necessary formalities in his hands. A five-day development camp is now beginning for him, getting to know the club. “I don’t think he can really grasp it himself.”
