Prospect Info: Lukas Rousek, LW, 160th overall, 2019 -- Recalled 3/6

[Fjordy]

It’s the NHL and HFBoards. You’re supposed to say yes. Every player is old if they’re beyond 22 on here (except goalies)

I will consider for the future

Well you only have two years to consider at most! I don’t know when he turned 20 so I don’t know how close he is to being “washed up”

Any ideas on how his numbers will translate to North America?

Are they a result of playing on a dominant team in a lower European league or is he a reason for that dominance?

I would not call the Czech league a lower European league. That's just me though.

True. And saw that in re-reading the post. Only meant to refer to it as below the NHL, KHL and probably Sweden in terms of the number of players of NHL calibre playing there.

He is definitely a guy who should be getting a contract. A lot of Grabner in his game.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Looks like Rousek's season is over. Finished with 14G, 38P in 49 regular season games + 2G, 6P in 11 playoff matches. Guessing the Sabres will try to get him on an ELC soon.

 

[elchud]

Have until the end of May to sign him.

Will have a glut? of left shot right-wings, Peterka/Pekar/Rousek. Or at least they all project to be better suited to playing RW.

 

[elchud]

Assuming we sign Rousek, there should/could be 4 other ELCs (our 1st rounders which ought to be top-3, RyJohnson, JJ Peterka, Kukkonen. And there's a few other non-draft pick options currently in Rochester (Franco, Jones, Luce, Welsh)

Excellent. Always nice to break some dynamic skill set into the team. He of course having speed to burn.

[allsilverdreams]

Who does he reminded you of.

I think someone a bit above said it pretty well -- he's got a lot of Grabner in his game. Speed for days, finishing ability.....buuuuuut not sure about the rest of his game at all.

 

[SundherDome]

Where does he play?

 

[Gabrielor]

Good signing. He's 22 (double overager when we drafted him), so he's certainly ready for the AHL.

 

[mindphaser]

Rou-Sek Daaaay!!! I'll see my self out

You registered May 2016 and made first post today? Congratulations.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Let's see what he does. Bring in more bodies.

One of the disappointing things is that Rousek is out long-term with this ACL surgery recovery. That's a 6-month(ish) recovery period so that doesn't put him back on the ice until March at best.

For a Rochester team overloaded with left shot wingers it does give another kid a chance to step up.

Maybe Murray or Peterka play themselves onto the roster post deadline and then Rousek can be eased in. And hopefully Weissbach can establish himself quickly in the AHL.

Pekar and Rousek on the same line, I wonder if they ever were linemates before...

I don't recall Pekar and Rousek being linemates, but they were on the Czech U-20 team: Czech Republic U20 (all) at eliteprospects.com
