Pretty sure that means he's signed.

Pretty sure it does.

They also have Czech forward Alex Rosa on their training camp roster. He plays in Switzerland and he's Pavel's son. He has dual citizenship so he isn't considered as an import.

Panocha to Chicoutimi confirmed

I'm probably the biggest Petr fan on HF.... I still think he'll shine in the NHL one day!

Really hoping he can tear shit up in CHL, go to World Jrs on line 1 or 2 and then get drafted in his second go!

Will that all happen? I doubt it but it's my dream!

Really curious if this pays off and how many of these guys get drafted...

Today I'd say Jecho, Fibigr and Titlbach have very good chances.

Kral, Curran, Kubiesa and Klima have a 50-50 chance

I haven’t heard or seen anything about Fibigr reporting yet, would be surprised if he does to start the season

Artu Karkki is coming to the Soo this year. Should help the back end be pretty solid.

Po stříbru do Kanady! Obránce Fibigr opustí Vítkovice | Hokej.cz - web českého hokeje

Sedmnáctiletý obránce Jakub Fibigr stráví nadcházející sezonu v zámořské juniorce: podle informací Hokej.cz míří k účastníkovi OHL do Mississaugy, která na něj v červenci ukázala během prvního kola import draftu.

Eichler should be joining the Spitfires this season, barring something shocking happening.

Good to see Körbler going to the CHL. He is probably a long shot when it comes to being drafted but I imagine he will develop better in Canada than with the Davos U20 team. Being a late birthday is an advantage for him in that regard as he has more time to get used to the OHL. Lots of Swiss players struggled recently to adjust themselves to the north american junior game recently. While I am not sure if Körbler will have the same issues in his first year, the fact that he plays a somewhat bigger and more physical game than his frame would indicate is certainly not a bad sign for his future outlook in Ottawa.

I thought he was one of the more noticeable players (outside of Ustinkov and Reber) at the Hlinka. Will be interesting to follow his progress in Ottawa.

Jiri Klima is in Shawinigan.
