Hello Europe

 

[Mike Jones]

Hello Europe

He is already there.

 

[deca guard]

Hello Europe

he's played well for both the griffs and the wings , and would be a top 6 player and important offense producer back on griffs

 

[IslesNorway]

Never seems to gain a foothold. Wishing him luck and hope gets claimed.

The ultimate AAAA player, to use a baseball expression. As "Banjos" said, he is probably headed to Europe. I thought he looked his best this year too. Good luck.

Yup, literally came to this thread to type “AAAA”.

I love The Czar, but that’s who he is unless the NHL expands to 34 teams.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Always liked Czarnik, too bad he just couldn't stick in a lineup.

 

[Ezekial]

Called up for injuries and now is going back down that everyone is back.

Can he make more in Europe than in AHL? He is, according to capfriendly, making 450k/year. How much is Swiss league paying to top imports? Can't be over 500/year...there are other positives, shorter season, less travel...Switzerland

The best of the best players in the Swiss League (e.g. Greg Hofmann) are making around $1M/season

Getting offtopic here...NL is paying the most, then it's probably between SEL and DEL, followed by Liiga and so on

Not that it’s a big deal or anything. It’s more of a why? They don’t have to send anyone down. There’s always a chance Czarnik gets claimed because he can provide some offense to someone in a bind.

Maybe they just figure, he’s gonna have to go back through waivers at some point anyway, may as well get it over with.

450 down in A

Good AHL'er but just couldn't stick in the NHL after multiple opportunities with multiple teams.

Grand Rapids is struggling mightily for offense generation.

Also Jake Walman just got injured in Sweden, so maybe they’re recalling Edvinsson?

 

[Hobnobs]

I like Czarnik. Hope he gets an opportunity somewhere but he's also making nice money in the A. A team like the yotes could use him.

They really do need a veteran in GR, who’s worth a damn in the scoring department. Way too many under 22 players, and even a couple of 20s. You’ll never win with that many kids.
