Does any of our prospect gurus
@Guadana @StevenToddIves or
@evnted know anything about a Slovak center named Peter Repcik? He went undrafted as a 20 year old double overager, but seems to have decent numbers in the WJC and has been playing in the QMJHL. Worth a camp invite for a potential Utica spot?
ill never complain about giving kids a look. only really remember him from the world juniors fwiw
one of the things that stood out was how effective he was in front of the net. held his ground, always a threat to get a stick on the puck. other thing was, almost in contrast to that characterization, he was pretty good in transition, too. confident puck carrier, able to navigate space, plenty of controlled entries, turned strips and turnovers into counterattacks fairly regularly
ill echo STI in that i dont think theres a ton of upside there, its not like his skating/playmaking game is really anything great, but he was pretty effective for the slovaks and those two standout traits are quite valuable at the professional level
