Prospect Info: Matej Pekar, C (OHL) Barrie Colts - Drafted 2018 (94 OA) , not qualified, signed AHL deal with Hartford

[Reddawg]

He certainly started on a roll, but why the rush to sign him?

Sometimes it's at the player's request, if his family needs the signing money and situations like that. I remember the Stars signing Radek Faksa very early for that reason.

 

[debaser66]

Can somebody maybe edit the thread and put his draft position in the title?

 

[Team Cozens]

Watched the Barrie game on TV tonight and Pekar looked fantastic again with a goal and 2 assists. His motor just keeps going.

 

[Yultron]

Good to see him Rebound after having a few bad games

 

[ZZamboni]

Can somebody maybe edit the thread and put his draft position in the title?

That would have to be a Mod or Chainshot.

Just too add to everyone’s excitement of tonight’s big comeback win the night keeps getting better and better. Matej Pekar scored his 8th goal of the season tonight short handed in just 14 games. This kid is something special. 16 points now for Pekar in 14 games

 

[Yultron]

Pekar does it again !!!!! Second Short handed goal in two games ! 9 goals and 17 points on the season now for Pekaaaashhhh! This kid gives us something to be happy about as the Sabres are currently down

 

[Yultron]

And for icing on the cake he adds an assist in the 3rd period. Make that 17 points in 15 games now

2 goals in his last two games...

 

[Goathead]

I hope to god this kid becomes our Brad Marchand. Even with half the point production I’d be ecstatic. We need a guy that everyone else in the league hates. Other than Risto who is actually useless.

I can't wait for this kid to make the jump. So exciting to find late-round gems again.

he was early 4th--you can find 2rd/4th liners there. If he develops into something more then you can say a gem.

You just knew it wouldn’t take long for Pekar to win Varada’s affection

 

[UnleashRasmus]

You just knew it wouldn’t take long for Pekar to win Varada’s affection

You just cannot not root for this kid. He's as exciting a player to prospect watch as Oskari!

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Anybody watch him in today’s game?
