What the f*** is this?Maybe he'll follow the same career path as David Pastrnak.....had pretty pedestrian stats in Allcvenskan, didn't do much in the AHL and for his first couple of seasons in the NHL, then exploded in the last two seasons. Probably one of the best players in these NHL playoffs. Sometimes it takes Czech players awhile to adapt, but once they figure it out, look out.

So what?....Jasek had seven points in six AHL games so according to my calculations that's a ppg pace. And posters do understand that Pastrnak lasted until 25th pick in the "014 draft....some the players picked ahead of him included guys like Virtanen, Vrana, Perlini, DeAngelo, Honka, Milano and Tuch....Heck even Jimbo and the Canucks thought McCann was a better prospect, picking him at 24th overall.What the **** is this?
Pastrnak had 28 points in 25 games in the AHL and 27 points in 46 games in the NHL the year after he was drafted.

There was virtually nothing in Pastrnak's amateur and AHL stats, including his first couple of years in the NHL (27 points and 26 points respectively) to indicate he'd be breakout player. So could a kid like Jasek mirror his career path?....a remote possibility agreed....but who can rule it out?
f***ing 6 game sample size warrants a comparison to Pastrnak? Jesus Christ.So what?....Jasek had seven points in six AHL games so according to my calculations that's a ppg pace.

It was 80% sarcastic.
I don't like stockpiling picks after successful drafts if my team is already successful. Let's say the Tampa Bay Lightning have another amazing draft, with what looks like 4-5 sure-fire NHLers on the way. I think the following season, they probably look to move out draft picks for core veterans, or move on from older players a season or two earlier, because logjams can hurt development if ice time isn't available.
The Canucks aren't currently successful, so the above strategy would require a lot more finesse than what one can reasonably expect.

i think the comparison is fine if what you are saying is "maybe he will turn out to be as good relative to his draft position as another czech player, pastrnak". he doesn't need to be as good as pastrnak, just relatively better than expected to the same extent.
benning has been trying to sign him since last season. the czech team that has him under contract until the end of next season doesn't want to let him go. i assume this is either a move either to lure jasek or for the canucks to evaluate whether it is worth whatever it will cost to get him under contract.
“Under the Czech-NHL transfer agreement, if any player drafted signs an NHL contract, their Czech deal is terminated,” Walsh said.
“But up till now, and understandably so, Vancouver didn’t have enough information or coverage before he came to Utica to offer him an NHL contract.
“This how it got brokered. When a player is signed from Europe where the country is a party to the IIHF transfer agreement, and Czech Republic is one of them, the (club team) gets $240,000 in transfer fees from the NHL.
“What we said to Liberec (Jasek’s club team) was that it was in their best interest to let him go right away since the season was over on an ATO.
“Get him to Utica, let him play games so he could earn himself a contract and they could get the transfer fees which is what they really wanted.
“It was potentially win-win for everyone.”
He's what actually happened. Some good info from Jasek's agent Allan Walsh.
Just how did Lukas Jasek go from nowhere to legit prospect in seven games? Hint: It took three years
This is basically a free prospect. I had no hopes for this player just by glancing at his numbers over the past few seasons. Hopefully he plays in the top six in Utica next year and can put up some numbers.that is interesting to complete the story, thanks.
there was a benning quote a while back saying he was trying to get him over but having problems with the czech team. i thought that meant they couldn't sign him. i assume this quote from your article is what that was about.
“You see that a lot in the Czech Republic. We had talked to him, and were trying to get him to play major junior in Canada but we couldn’t get him released from his contract to do that."
He has played every game this year out of position at center so it's hard to gauge his potential to play wing in the NHL since he hasn't played wing since last year and he can't play center. In other words, he has wasted this season of development.Can someone give me an update on Jasek in Utica
How is his overall game, strengths and weaknesses?
Can he make it to the nhl?

He works hard defensively and has NHL skating but he has no playmaking ability at all and can't hit his wingers with passes on the rush. He is very diligent along the wall though and digs out a surprising amount of pucks given his modest size. But there again, that's in the wingers toolkit.How is he defensively? Playing C usually requires a forward to be better defensively.
I think you're being a bit harsh there. Jasek was always going to be a long shot to make it to the NHL. Honestly, except for his start in Utica, he's given no indication that he would develop into a top 6 winger at the NHL level. In fact, he's basically struggled to produce offensively until he got to Utica. I think most Canucks fans wrote him off as a prospect until his hot start in Utica. The odds are he would never make it as a skilled offensive winger in the NHL. It might be a good idea to see if he can provide some versatility
