Lukas Svejkovsky - Vancouver Giants, (2020, 108th, PIT)
- Thread starter Babula
- Start date
Production in his rookie year isn't too bad considering how physically underdeveloped he is. I could see something close to a PPG year for Vancouver next season. He has talent through the roof, but has a long ways to go and some growing to do.
If he fills out a bit over the summer, I don't think a PPG is unrealistic with his skills. His production in his D-1 year is pretty much in line with most mid-late round draft picks. How is Vancouver supposed to be next year?
He used to actually practice with my youth teams because his Dad, Yogi (Jaroslav) was my coach for 3 years. I think we were like 16 years old, and he had to be 7-8 years old. He had better stick skills than some of the players on the team haha.

Interesting player. Has hands and can make plays but is too easily pushed off the puck, and struggles with consistency. Giants are deep at the forward position which has hurt him. Mildly disappointed with his season so far, but still somewhat hopeful he can improve significantly next year.

Having a pretty monster playoffs replacing Sourdif on the top line. Really excited to see what he can string together next season with a bigger role.
Really disappointed to see that him and Valenti both played like 6 minutes a game stuck on the fourth line. Agreed, I thought both actually had decent talent when I watched them, but holy smokes they need to get ten times stronger if they want to make it further along.
Svejkovsky has good puck skills, but what I particularly liked is his vision (always has his head up to make plays).

Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Am I wrong to think he's going to play for the USA internationally?
We don't have many good 2020 prospects, so if this guy could have a good draft season and get himself into the second round or late first, that would be a big help to our program.

Hard to think that there are more 200 better options than him in this draft.
Although he is not huge he is not tiny either.
