Considering Cizikas’s durability issues I have no issues with this move. Not sure we really want Koivula or Bardreau as long term solutions as 4th Line C.

Great as far as 5’9” 170 pounders go. Not necessarily going to fill in for Cizekas role on the fourth line. Hopefully Koivula is a better option.

Would be interesting to see what happens paired up with Ho Sang in BP

Sounds like a magician's last name. The Great Czarnick

Scored against us didn't he?

Interestingly enough, the Bennett - Jankowski - Czarnik line absolutely dominated you guys a couple seasons ago (2018-19). I forget if it was the game in Long Island or the game in Calgary, but I do remember that line completely suffocating your skaters with their forecheck, and Czarnik a huge part of why.

I think he is one of those guys that is an AHL player, he was behind another former Islander on the depth chart last year (wink wink)... so not sure at 27 if he is anything more than AHL depth or Kuhnackl replacement

I don't think it's Khunackels replacement but a depth forward that could step in the top nine. You don't want Alan Quine to replace Clutterbuck, that's why you get a Khunackel. You also don't necessarily want Khunackel replacing Eberle. Need variety skill sets in depth players if you can. Might have missed this last year.
