Necas supposedly only just learned English last year. His English is damn good for only one year speaking it.
I heard he just started playing hockey last year , too.

Repeating myself from the other thread, but I wouldn't read much into what we're seeing right now. I can't remember a prospect of ours who was so completely upside-heavy. He's built like a giraffe, looks like a pre-teen, and seems almost afraid to shoot the puck. He'll be a completely different guy by the time he's 22. The only thing I'd hang my hat on right now is that he's physically gifted and can probably be as good as he wants to be.

I think he and Svechnikov are gonna be a special combination. Stick them with a vet left wingerand watch the goals roll in (hopefully in the bad guys net)
Between Necas and Aho, our C situation could look dramatically different this time next year. Between those 2, I really do think we could potentially have 2 1Cs already on the roster.
Brad Malone come on down!
the thing that really solidifies Necas’ potential in my estimation is that because of the way he plays, he won’t necessarily have to develop a god-tier shot to be productive. he’ll generate scoring chances at a good rate, and put himself in position to get goals by way of skating into high danger scoring chances at a higher rate than other players.
I'd take that. I loved Stiller. Hopefully he'll be that and a little more. I'm excited about this kid, and so glad we get to see him grow.The slows the play down thing makes me think of Stillman, who had a very long and productive career without ever having any real top end physical talents by being able to set plays up and feed the puck very well. If Necas can develop that game as an insurance policy, even if he never develops the strength to be a Crosby he'll still be an incredibly valuable player. If he doesn't develop that- well, it's Lindholm 2.0. Frustrating perimeter guy who you perpetually think should be able to do more and never does.
