"My agent Allan Walsh solved it all, the negotiations went beyond me,"

"I live in Ostrava, where my girlfriend and I have an apartment. I'm much closer to Olomouc.
I also have my fitness trainer here, with whom I work on the recovery of the knee and shoulder that I had injured. I have my life here"

so this is listed on elite prospects, I don't know if they had it last time.

but vince just tweeted earlier that he wasn't loaned

 

[cwede]

this was just announced today,
prior rumor had been loan to Brno, which fell through,

this article (URL above) included numerous quotes from Hajek, it seems genuine

not doubting this source...but the timing of this announcement and vince saying he wasn't loaned to dismiss a rumor for weeks ago is pretty funny. like did someone from the rangers text vince to let him know that hajek wasn't loaned while on the phone with his agent finalizing the deal to loan him lol

I hope all of the signed prospects on the bubble of making the team play in Europe until the season starts.

Get your reps.

Shouldn't they be starting later, though? Seems like there could potentially be some very long seasons.

Timing is funny.

I figured this was gonna happen. I had commented a few times over the past few days that it didn't look like Hajek's loan was official--he wasn't on the roster, there was no official announcement from anywhere, etc. Glad he found somewhere to go, though. ELH sucks but I guess it's preferable to sitting on your ass.

Bust.

It's not the best league in Europe, but it's all about familiarity and location. Hajek already being in the Czech Rep makes this the right move. Olomouc is close to Brno anyway

He definitely need to play...a lot. So this is good.

Exactly. May not have wanted KHL, and rumors abound that KHL teams do not want loaners unless they staying the whole season. Czech league might be more than willing to take someone with the knowledge they can leave anytime. Especially Czech players.

FWIW he has not played, is not on Olomouc's roster, and I didn't see an official announcement from the team. So, not too sure this is yet official.

My deepest sympathies to Olomouc

That's their section on the league's page. Their site is this: HC Olomouc | oficiální internetové stránky

I asked Vince on Twitter and he said he had not heard of any loan since Brno fell through, but that he hadn't inquired about him in 10 days.
