If he can ever sustain a full season he'd be top 10. Seems to start strong and fade.

I was surpried. Good AHL stats. Seattle isn't loaded with goalies. Felt like he'd at least get a NHL game or two next season.

Sprynar and Sapousek returning to extraliga. I see it as maybe a good sign. Maybe Extraliga will finally start giving prominent spots to 20 and 21 year olds and developing them. Rychlovsky being a great example. Make the league good again, dammit!

Týden po úspěšné záchranářské misi Kladno vyložilo první karty pro příští ročník. S Rytíři se loučí sedm hráčů, končí také trenérská dvojice Otakar Vejvoda a Pavel Skrbek. Nová soupiska aktuálně čítá dvanáct jmen.

Tichacek staying in Kladno?? Hope thats not final and an NHL contract can still overthrow this. Still even if he dont go to NHL/AHL more probably, I would still assume he would sign in a much better team either in ELH or in some other euro league.
Him staying in Kladno would me mighty dissapointing tbh.

In order:
2 way contract and in AHL in October
Top Extraliga club
NLA, SEL or Liiga
Kladno next year wasn't even on my mind.lol I'd like to see him on a stronger team against stronger competition to continue developing.

Perfect third goalie in Prague. Smejkal is a shame. I thought he could eke out a bottom 6 role for a few years before returning.

Some small hints Chytil (or another of the forwards) could be subbed into the lineup tomorrow. Not saying for sure, but tomorrow may be the day for Chytil to return.

Just seeing him practice is so good. I honestly thought he would be commentating with francouz and Voracek for CT24 (Czech tv)
Pavel Buchnevich
"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
Damn, not yet! False alarm. It should be soon though.
So I was bored so I did a bit of an early survey on how our numbers in NHL and AHL could look next year, based on the contracts, player performance etc.
Who is a lock (still under contract or I think will definitely get a contract):
Pasta, Zacha, Necas, Hronek, Hertl, Palat, Kampf, Faksa, Rutta, Gudas, Chytil (hope and believe he will be back next season), Zadina (I believe he will get a contract, he is still a very decent bottom 6 player)
So thats 12 players locked (damn thats so few lol)
With questionmarks (without contracts, performances was so so, or maybe they would just go to europe and f*** it in the NHL)
Kubalik (from what he said he really wants to stay in NHL, but will someone give him a chance?), Nosek (also without contract, dont know if anyone would want him or not), Lauko (he has contract, but is on a verge of lineup so it could be another full season, could be AHL also), Zohorna (without contract dont know if he gonna want to continue in NA), Vrana (well I hope he gets one last chance, but dont give it much chance honestly)
Who could be added as a new NHL regular (finally lol)
Jiricek and Kulich of course. But hopefully also from the group Blumel, Rousek, Klapka, Svozil (Blumel and Klapka are without contracts, but I hope they will continue in NA and will be figting more for the chance, especially Blumel is for me NHL quality player, he just needs to get a proper chance)
As for GKs:
Only one without contract is Rittich and I believe he will get a new contract after that season he had. Suchanek may get a couple of games too. But not many changes there imo for next season.
So all and all we can be anywhere from as low as 12-13 regular skaters to 18-19 skaters ... my personal tip will be 15-16 (the 12 locks + Kubalik, Jiricek, Kulich and maybe Vrana or Nosek)
Those are still really bad numbers lol, now lets look at the AHL
Currently we have 31 skaters listed and 7 GKs in the AHL - I would say that around 20 regular skaters was there this season
Guys under contract: Kulich, Rousek, Ivan, Svozil, Mysak, Jiricek, Brabenec, Spacek, Pavel, Chmelar, Novak, Szturc, Hamara, Mechura,, Sale
15 players
Guys without contract: Blumel, Klapka, Vrana, Jenik, Teply, Zohorna, Smejkal. Simek, Zboril, Raska, Pekar, Marcel, Kubicek, Stinil
14 players
Now guys who already left or I think will leave: Hajek, Reichel, Smejkal, Simek, Zboril, Kubicek
Questionmarks: Jenik, Teply, Zohorna, Raska, Pekar, Jenik, Stinil
Who I think will stay: Blumel, Klapka, Vrana, Marcel
Who will or can possibly come from europe: Hovorka, Tomasek, Tichacek, Rychlovsky
Who will or can come from CHL: Becher, Sapovaliv, Sapousek, Slavicek, Cibulka, Moravec (dont know what Melovsky and Rymon - I guess they will still get one more CHL season
So all and all here we will probably be on the same level around 30 players again, maybe rise a few maybe, which would be good. but we will have most of players under contract next year so in 2-3 years our numbers in AHL can raise considerably ... which is great, cause as I said, we must brute force it, if we have 50-60 guys in AHL, some mathemaically must make it also in NHL lol

Chytil got in 12 minutes tonight!
It's Chytil vs Necas.
It's Chytil vs Necas.
Amazing news to see him back, he will have a great season next year I am sure of it!

"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
Chytil got better as the game went on. First few shifts he looked rusty, but got a lot better. Also seems to be refreshed to finally be back.
Kulich's playoffs were the worst hockey he's played in North America. He was ineffective and unproductive and frequently scored upon in his role as a center. What a terrible series.

This trend continues... normally I'd say failed player returning home but there seems to be a trend of good young Czechs returning to play in Extraliga. We need a lot more 20 year olds playing regularly (like Sweden) so I'm all for these guys returning and playing as 20 year olds. Need more Rychlovksy's in the ELH! Tired of 25 year old guys that never had a NHL chance and failed AHLers dominating the league. We sorely lack up and coming guys with some NHL dreams.

As far as I can tell, Kral has signed a very cheap 1 way NHL contract. He could still be buried but it isn't a 2 way.
So after Kral signing I read today that Rychlovsky is in intensive talks with NHL club. Also there is a lot of speculation about Kase returning to NHL too. Still hoping Tichacek will sign a contract too, but I hope if not this year then he will get one next year. There are also still rumours about Tomasek, but dont know how his chances can be.
Still a nice group of players from Europe in talks or already signed a contract. If you add Malek and Hovorka to them. Wonder if we also get some suprising sigining no one talks about lol.

At the very least, i'd like Tichachek to go to a stronger ELH team.
Tomasek is not an NHLer to my eye. He's a great player and battles hard but I see 'Euro star' at is athletic peak.
