C Adam Ruzicka - Sarnia Sting, OHL (2017, 109th, CGY)

[gifted88]

When is the deadline, he must be signed?

Drafted in 2017 and I believe they hold his rights for 3 years.

I just wasn't sure if AHL was an option or if it's NHL or OHL only.

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

He’s had s rather strange development pattern, had good first ohl season. Disappointed at wjc, definetly has the improvement in second season. Not the best wjc either. And than was completely invisible in the playoffs for sarnia. Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes unsigned unless big season in ohl

 

[Frolov 6'3]

He really slumped midway the season too.

The whole line with Kyrou couldnt do it in the playoffs.

 

[HasbeenHallzy]

Deserves a bump...

Wow has this kid been spectacular since coming to the Dirty Burr. Absolutely dominant tonight with 4gs. Up to 22G 15A in 28 since coming over, great hands in tight and a better skater than anticipated. Even though he's a Flames prospect I absolutely love this kid.

 

[lostinwarsaw]

He plays a lot like Predators player Ryan Johansen, rangy centre who uses his long reach but doesn’t really engage physically.

except he is not as good of a skater

He won’t survive in the nhl, I predict he ends up in the Sweden. Too slow, doesn’t engage psychically, has a general attitude that he doesn’t really give a **** about hockey, and always shies away from big moments.

Calgary needs some elc's if we plan to stay competitive.

Could be some Michal Handzus clone. He is still only 20 years old. Give him 3 years in AHL and then we can say, where will he end.

Great news for Slovak hockey

Really good start to the season for him, 4 goals and 2 assists in the last 2 matches.

Good start for sure, but hard to measure if he's improved though since the AHL is very different this season. It's watered down this year because of taxi squads and Canadian teams only play against each other which is 5 teams total.

I agree. Except they heat played all their games against the Marlies which is full of AHL vets and probably has less prospects on it than any team. If you look at the Heat they are a bunch of kids in comparison.

This is true, the Marlies are a good and experienced team. I hope Ruzicka can keep up his good start to the season

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

3 points in 3 consecutive games.

an AHL record!

this guy is legit?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

He was easily a standout last game for baby flames. Was generating quite a bit and the most electric player for your team.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

4-game 3-point streak in the AHL. Woah

 

[ColHockey40]

Make it four straight 3 point games, pretty incredible at this point.

 

[JabbaJabba]

This dude is on fire. Any idea if he gets a chance soon in the NHL?

 

[Jabs102501]

Hopefully, the Flames give him a chance sometime in the near future, he's looked very promising ever since arriving in the AHL. I'll have to be keeping a closer eye on him since Slovakia desperately needs a good center.

His countryman Pospisil is also a center. And he's playing very good hockey too

 

[Bounces R Way]

The Flames' future #1 Centreman

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Cale MaClean (Stockton Heat Head Coach) says he thinks hes got a good chance to become a top 6 NHL center.

I’ve learned not to get overly excited about any Flames prospect. Small sample size, but he looks good so far. He was decent last year as an AHL rookie, but he’s taken a huge step up this year.
