CAREER INFO:
Drafted fifth overall by the New York Islanders in the 1992 entry draft. Acquired from the Islanders with Andreas Johansson for Bryan Smolinski November 17, 1996...suspended twice in his rookie season.

PLAYING STYLE:
You can run but you can't hide from Kasparaitis...sometimes is overly aggresive in the neutral zone, allowing a few odd-man breaks...concentrates mainly on defense, but does like to jump up into the play occasionally...oftem makes a good outlet pass then follows up the play...a player you hate to play against but would love to have on your own team...highily competitive nature lets him get a little too aggressive at times...doesn't back down from anyone...loves to yap...as irritating as a car alarm at 3 a.m.
