F Jaromir Pytlik - HC Vitkovice, Extraliga (2020, 99th, NJD)

[MMC]

Welcome to New Jersey!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

99th overall. I had him way earlier on my list.
Wisdom & Pytlik, the two biggest steals of the 4th round round so far.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think he dropped a little farther than he should've. His fall in the second half of this season surprised me, and I think getting this guy in the fourth round is very good value.

Loaned to HC Stadion Litomerice of Czech2

 

[wings5]

I see Pytlik hasn't played for awhile, any reason for this?

He got hurt the first game of the wjc, not sure if he's been back since then

Doesn't seem that he's returned, hasn't played in many games at all this season

 

[goonybird]

Wasn't his loan recalled when the OHL thought they'd play, but then they shut the season down?

Not sure but he didn't even join Binghamton , other Czechs like Teply and fellow OHLer Mysak joined their NHL clubs AHL affiliates so not sure what's happening with Pytlik

he's unsigned so it may be related to that. Not easy to kick out AHL guys who are already there n all that

 

[Jorma Heart]

I don't know who this guy is, but hopefully he's a player since there's a rumour that he would sign with KalPa in Finland for the next season. If that happens he will fight for the bottom six C spot behind Rissanen and Aapeli Räsänen.

Should be a good team for him if true. Kalpa should be a better team next season.

He was supposed to play in the OHL. Season was cancelled. Hard to find an update but there are rumors he will play in Finland's Liiga next season.

I don’t know why New Jersey doesn’t just sign him

 

[NJ Fan 12]

I don’t know why New Jersey doesn’t just sign him

They don't have to sign him until next year and with the glut of first-year forwards there probably is no rush to do that.

 

[Jorma Heart]

Nuoret NHL-varaukset vahvistavat KalPaa – tervetuloa Kuopioon Kasper Simontaival ja Jaromír Pytlík!

So he moves to KalPa with two year contract. About him as a player: big and strong two-way player. He can do little smart plays etc. Last season wasn't good because covid and injuries, but they expect him to improve his overall play and he'd be a leading player.

I wouldn't expect him to be leading player next season, more likely a bottom six player and bigger role for 22-23

This is definitely not a typical move for a player out of the CHL and from a different country

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

So his draft +2 and +3 season will be overseas. Not the worst thing from a developmental standpoint. I wonder what his NHL upside is. Doesnt hurt that he has some size and intangibles. Could be a good bottom 6 player.

 

[Jorma Heart]

Made his debut yesterday playing something like 6 minutes and healthy scratch today. He's probably gonna play more RW than C this season because KalPa has very good center depth

 

[HockeyPops]

I think his game might fit winger a bit better than center.

I think he can potentially be a high impact 3rd line C who kills penalties and scores 12-15 goals a year and around 35-45 points. With low end 2C upside

 

[wings5]

Hasn't had a good last season and a bit and is now playing in Mestis. In hindsight wasn't the best move for him as it is hard for youngsters to break into Liiga

He has been already released by his Finnish team.

He has been already released by his Finnish team.

Hmm yes, hopefully he plays exclusively in Extraliga not in Czech2 etc.

 

[KovalSNIPE]

Doubt he becomes anything tbh. This constant movement just reminds me of Popugaev.
