The heart wants, what the heart wants

Going from Czechia to the US is already a big transition.

Going from the opportunity of reigning SC champion to inevitable basement dweller with a hardass coach seems like something that could put things over the edge in terms of homesickness.

I'm speaking in generalities, and purely off of my own inferences, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sedlak's "reason" isn't too far from this.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

You see. Nobody wants to play for Torts. Joke .

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hopefully everything is alright

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

He didn’t seem to be doing too bad within the confines of his role? Just stats watching tho. Hopefully there’s nothing bad on the home front pulling him back.

 

[Czechboy]

This is shocking! He was getting good minutes and doing well to my eye. I thought leaving Colorado was a good thing for him and that he was having a nice season.

I'm really curious what the reason is.

Well he played for Torts before so coming to th USA and playing for Torts isn't new to him. Torts liked him and he seems to have been playing his role. A 4th liner doing 10 minutes a game. In fact, it looked like he was on pace to have a career best season in the NHL this year.

I wasn't aware of him having played for Tortorella before. That's interesting.

I could be mostly to entirely wrong on the reason.

One of us is going to talk to em. We have a easy going coach that is Eakins. Or Chicago…. He’s not down for dead yet. I imagine Verbeek is discussing things already. Some players just don’t develop well with a hard ass. And I don’t like Torts because of that

Sedlak was with him in Columbus.

 

[Jumptheshark]

the big reason he is going home is because of family. Good on him

 

[Mike Jones]

Good luck to him.

 

[Leafs87]

Probably the most Tortorella explanation lol

 

[Chainshot]

Not the first guy this year to step away from what he views as a grind and prioritizing what he finds most important. Good on him. I wish I had done that in my 20's. And 30's. And 40's...

He was in Columbus when Torts coached here. Torts liked his work ethic and he was a really good 4th liner at first. He eventually got squeezed out the lineup and went back to Europe but I recall him being a guy Torts liked quite a bit. Its probably why Philly claimed him when he became available.

took me into my 50's to figure that out

worked my ass of from 16 to 49 and had two divorces and empty bank account to show

I think the last couple years have made people really consider what's important and what's not. That's the one good thing to come out of the pandemic.

Another player who stepped away recently was Riley Sheahan and he's been frank about wanting to spend time with family instead of the sort of travel to chase a few more NHL games. He, his wife and new baby are off to Switzerland to play in the NL and he's happier/content with it. I know I wouldn't trade memories of my kids first months for anything even if I did a lot of work to support them and my ex in the best way I thought I could at the time. Sedlak mentioning his fiance and parents, I hear that - be with the people who you care about.

Having a newborn myself, I sympathize with Sheahan because I find spending five minutes away from him tough.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Can't argue with that reasoning!

It goes by crazy fast too. Enjoy it and congratulations on the latest Soup!

Kravtsov’s teammate on Traktor & he left the team to go home too? Hope Rangers sign him ASAP he might unlock The Chosen One’s full potential
