I think it's noteworthy that Spacek actually stuck at C in his first pro year. Handling the duties of a center isn't the easiest thing at any level, let alone when the competition gets tougher.
If we get a Sobotka or a Jarnkrok out of him, I'll be over the moon. He was a fourth round pick, after all.
Yup, and Maurice said he was one prospect that played the game like a C should.
Doubly interesting since I don't think he was playing C in Jr. At least he was not listed as a C. Several who played C in Jr are not playing there with the Moose. Harkins, for one was drafted as a C but is playing wing. So they are developing Spacek as a C. He had to deal with the transition to pro hockey and learning the new position. Considering that, he did very well.
