Encouragng start for an under the radar Czech! Even one NHL game would be a hell of a feat for him and he may pull that off. I'll be quietly cheering for him

One of the greatest scene in cinema history

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Ivan Ivan played 3 seasons for the Cape Breton Eagles and then he signs with the Colorado Eagles.

Ivan Ivan Eagles Eagles

Match made in heaven!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

difficult start to his pro career, no idea what role though but
3 goals, 9 pts in 24 games.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

In his last 7 games, 3 goals, 6 assists, +2, with 13 sog
- 2 of his goals are PP goals

on a 5 game point streak

is now above 0.50 ppg
(19 points in 37 games)

 

[Artorius Horus T]

bump

continued to play well and score points, strong last third of the season

9 more points (4+5), +8, since last update

12 goals, almost 0.60 ppg

3rd in team goals and points now, 13 points behind the leader (D B Hunt)

Colorado would be smart to give him and ELC

 

[Czechboy]

There might be a player here... curious how this goes for him. Strong Euro or middling NHL player.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

16 pts in his last 18 games. I just can't see the Avs not signing him. He is a real Bednar-type player.

Edit: 16 in his last 19 games after tonight.

So happy for the kid... I do get the feeling more undrafted czechs will be getting these.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Very happy with this signing. Great fit for the Avs.

Avs or Eagles? I assume zero chance next year? Or is there actually some hope here?

Great fit whit the Avs. Bednar loved him last TC. His type of players. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the team right out of camp on the 4th line. Most likely starting the season on the Eagles though and then get a call up.

BUMP

By all accounts he made the roster and is playing his first NHL game this week. Note: This is not 100% fact and things can change. I'll be back the second I see him skating a lap in warmup.lol

How do guys like this go undrafted?

How do guys like this go undrafted?

Czechs have been bad for so long that we don't get drafted as much. It's our own fault ftr. Zadina, Hajek, Zboril, Kaut all come to mind.lol

How do guys like this go undrafted?

He's an August birthday which obviously hurts, but he was also a late bloomer. 22 points in 62 games in his draft year.

Are there currently Avs injuries?

Did he straight up make the team and beat out other roster guys or is he just potentially filling in for injured players and then be eventually sent to AHL when Avs are healthy

Either way it’s an outstanding accomplishment!!.. I’m just curious if fans think it’s just a matter of time till he’s in the AHL or if they feel he can stick in NHL all season

Landeskog, Lekhonen & Niichushkin are all on IR.

Calum ritchier will probably have a 9 game sting. IF he play good, I can see him make the team for all year. That's a personal opinion tough

There are injuries, but there's a decent chance he sticks in the lineup for a while even as some of those guys come back. He had a great preseason and beat a few NHLers out of the 4th line slot. And all of the guys that are hurt and coming back are Top 6 forwards and none are Centers.


Ivan probably holds down the 4C spot for a little while if I had to guess.

What is his long term upside? Bottom 6 nhler?
