Believe me, I definitely agree about preseason, as I put next to no stock in it, myself. However the thing with junior is, that so many guys light it up in their draft year, and the year after, and then never become that scoring force in the AHL or NHL. With Svech struggling to put up pts in the AHL, even after missing with injury for some of it, is quite concerning, becuase most players that struggle offensively in the AHL never become more than 3rd and 4th line energy guys, in the NHL. That is fine and all, but I think most of us are hoping for a player who can at least put up 40 pts or more in the NHL and right now, that seems on the lower end of the spectrum. Admittedly I know very little of Svech's game, as I have really never seen him play except last year in the one game he got into, where he scored in the shootout, however the way some on here have talked in the past about him, I was at least hoping we would get a 40+ pt second liner out of him.
Honestly I am not sure what was going on with him, but looking at his last 20 games he does have 15 points, so it looks like he might be coming out of it.
