D Marek Alscher - Pelicans U18, U18 SM-sarja (2022, 93rd, FLA)

[MMC]

Saw this Czech defenseman listed as a notable prospect for 2022 on EP, can someone tell me more about him?

Anyone see him play in Portland? How did he look?

McKenzie had him as a 'honorable mention' too.

Hoping this thread can help me understand how his name has come up?

Size?

Good second half?

Saw him play a few times this season. Big kid. Looked lost and a step behind in the early games but in games late in the season he was getting top pair minutes. Big kid. Skates well. High IQ. Not much creativity with the puck but handles it well - a defensive D now and at the next levels. Has talked about the big adjustment to the aggressive hockey and small rinks in the WHL. I think he looks like he will be an excellent pro.

Did you defensive D? Are we talking David Musil here?

He'll be important on U20 team next year!

Nice AHL experience to get some reps and, maybe, a game.

Not sure why he only has 10 games played this season but 2+4 for 6 points in 10 games is not a bad start for a 20 year old AHL rookie.
