I was happy 8 Czechs got drafted as it was more than Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland combined.
Svozil in round 3 wasexpected and shitty.
Svozil in round 3 wasexpected and shitty.
34 guys last year with at least one game... 5 goalies and 29 skaters.
We lost Krejci which hurts a lot.
Curious if Frolik and Simon can get contracts?
Should see 6 goalies and, in general, they should get more starts than last season.
I think you may be right about Kaut but I hope you're wrong. He's my fav prospect and I'm surprised he hasn't made it already. I think he's 22. Maybe he gets traded?My guess:
Out: Krejci, Frk, D. Kase, Chlapik, Kaut, Frolik
In: Jaskin, Kempny, Francouz, Lauko, Raska, Dostal
So our numbers should say more or less same as last year.
A few more not in the 26 that i think we'll see... Zohorna in Pittsburgh, Jenik in Arizona, Lauko in Boston, Korenar in AZ, Vrana in Detroit, Kempny in Wash (buy maybe not in Washington) and Kaut in Col (but maybe not for Col) and Francouz in Col.
Outside chance at a cup of coffee after injuries - Dostal, Kral, Teply, Krutil, Galvas, Reichel and Skarek.
You are correct.. totally forgot about Raska. He hung on long in training camp. He does have a great bottom 6 NHL game.I think Raska has decent chance. Expect SJ to be sellers and he may get some games even before that.
On the other hand, didn't expect to see Sustr in NHL ever again and he played before many players that I thought had decent chance.
He is actually the first player since Tomas Hertl to go from Extraliga to NHL directly. This never happens anymore. Amazing story. Hope he sticks and they call up Korenar and they are a tandem. Definitely not something I expected.I saw some preseason games and am now watching the Sabres game, Vejmelka is looking better than I would have ever guessed. Do you believe in miracles?
With Hutton playing like garbage year after year I feel like Vejmelka has a chance to be the Czech goalie with most games played, no joke.
Jan Rutta went straight from the extraliga to the NHL..He is actually the first player since Tomas Hertl to go from Extraliga to NHL directly. This never happens anymore. Amazing story. Hope he sticks and they call up Korenar and they are a tandem. Definitely not something I expected.
I think Vanecek will end up with most games played now that Mrazek is out.
Thank you! You are correct and I am wrong.Jan Rutta went straight from the extraliga to the NHL..
If you asked me before the free agency, I would've said Vejmelka was maybe the 15th best Czech goalie. Even behind our strong Euro's like Bartosak, Will and Hrubec. Not even close to our NHL and AHL guys. Definitely not close to even Korenar.Another horrific performance by Hutton, if Arizona's coaching staff isn't insane Vejmelka is de facto their clear #1. For the time being, at the very least.
