Can’t wait for him to light up the AHL and do nothing more.

Dude, the pens know what they're doing. Most successful club over last thirty years.

That f***ing thread title made me legit lol @Lust for Life

Happy to provide some laughter in these meltdown times

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I thought this was a 3rd goaltender almost had a heart attack.

Forwards defensemen. Aim for highskill. That's all I got

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Which is my overall point about taking high potential / boom bust forwards. They can look really good and you can trade them for boring picks like Pettersson who are actually NHL ready on a deep prospect teams.

I think reputation factors in as well. Sprong had that 2nd round pick, top prospect shine. If someone like Svejkovsky doesn’t have that reputation then I don’t think lighting up the AHL is worth as much.

Plus nobody can say his name. Good point.

Wait for the moaning.

Moaning is pleasure, groaning is pain. This is somewhere in between. Tbh i have no idea who this guys is, hope he pans out

I had to check the spelling twice. Svej it is.

 

[chethejet]

AT least he is RH shot. GMJR will not be happy.

Was actually decent before Tom Wilson destroyed his jaw

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Just based on stats it looks like he was a center before the trade then switched to wing and started putting up a lot more points. Mostly ES too.​

Isn't everyone who has any skill at all put at center on most lower level teams? Maybe I am remembering reading that wrong.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

@Soggy Biscuit

Gotta be dat high skill bud. Nobody cares about Joe Shmoe Righty.

 

[Rakell67]

Jaroslav Svejkovsky was god tier on NHL Breakway 98 on n64.

Well at least there’s that!

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Well at least there’s that!

Underrated hockey video game, was so much fun.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Dude, the pens know what they're doing. Most successful club over last thirty years.

What type of player can we realistically expect at this position? I think they took the best player available?

 

[LRS87]

From what I've read, sounds like Dominik Simon haha

 

[dogthateats]

hope this kid fails hard just to make whoever picked him look dumb!

 

[HandshakeLine]

A Czech?

@HandshakeLine will be pleased . . .

EDIT: Born in the US to Czech parents. Not sure if that counts . . .

I mean, I'm a US born Slovak, so that's unfortunately a huge strike against him.

He plays for the US in international competition too.

"Svee-kov-skee."

Helps I was born and raised in the DC area to parents from Pittsburgh, So I saw his dad as a Capital.

 

[Pip]

Vancouver Giants fan

Thought he was held back here and that’s why he requested the trade. Not the first Giant in recent history to do so and was a guy I was always wanting to get moved up the lineup. Like his skill, but has lot of work ahead of him. His 2019 WHL playoffs were very impressive. Will be interesting to watch next year.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Wait for the moaning.

@Gurglesons has been waiting to hear that his whole life.



Also why does that name sound familiar. That last name, a Caps bloke back in the day?

Oh shit that's who it is?


f*** I feel old. @KIRK is this how you feel all the time? It sucks mate.

Yup, he's Jaroslav's kid, Ironically I also took him in my EA NHL Franchise mode drafts.
