Masisak had an article earlier today in the Athletic where Fitzgerald talked about all of our 20 picks in the past two years. Here's what they had. Here's their part on Studenic:
Marian Studenic, No. 143
Right wing, 6-foot-1, 164 pounds
2017-18: 20 goals, 48 points in 62 games for Hamilton (OHL); 0 points in 5 games for Slovakia at IIHF World Junior Championship
Fitzgerald's take: High compete, can really skate. He can play either wing. Great character. This kid never stops smiling. He just smiles all day at the rink. He’s having a really good year. The coach and the GM [for Hamilton] speak really highly of his character.
He’s likely to take the same path as Gignac. We’re going to try and sign him, and I don’t think there will be any reason he wouldn’t sign, and then the question will be, does he go back to junior next year? There’s not a doubt that we want to bring him in the organization.
