Plasek and Jasek. Perfect.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hopefully the Canucks can share wherever video they had on this guy, because finding anything on YouTube is proving difficult.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Good writeup here with clips and some commentary from Brackett. Sounds like a kid who's got the skill and motor and has yet to mature physically.

The Canucks bet on upside with 6th-round pick Karel Plasek

This is a weird pick. Doens't have the "high motor" trait that the Canucks were looking for in this draft. The article that Momesso posted quoted Hockey Prospect and they had a much more favourable scouting report last year than this year. Pretty much putting a dollar or two with the highest payout and not expecting to win.

He might not have the motor but playing against men, and producing, while also domination at the U19 and U20 levels shows some upside. If he can fill out without losing his other tools he could surprise. If not, that's the story for most picks taken this late.

So umm...
He makes the Czech world junior team out of no where and will he playing on his homeland.

Not gonna lie, didn’t even know we drafted him this past summer, is he gonna be like Utunen where he makes the team and did well, then we never heard of him again?

And he goes to net front instead of cruising behind.

So Karel Plasek's father is Karel Plasek.
