Player Discussion John-Jason (JJ) Peterka, RW (34th overall, 2020) -- Signed to ELC

[Weltschmerz]

Peterka? are you joching?

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

Heard he’s almost as good as JJFJJ Jean-Jacques Francois Jacques-Jean himself.

 

[Reddawg]

Peterka? are you joching?

We are not Jochen.

 

[Buffaloed]

Peterka? are you joching?

What the hecht are you talking about?

 

[Yultron]

Love this pick

 

[Ralonzo]

Peterka? are you joching?

Oooh, Bern

 

[Duddy]

Instead of all the RHD, we are now on the quest to get all the RWs.

 

[stokes84]

Sometimes I wonder if I made the wrong career choice, then I read hockey beat reporters quoting 18 year olds who are trying to say the most generic thing possible and I feel better about myself.

 

[Beerz]

Sounds like he'd be a good linemate with Pekar

He is more like the puck hound you pair with more skilled players.

Yeah I dont think stutzle has the WJC he had without Peterka

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Know nothing about him but if they saw their guy and gave up a 5th, that's just smart

Either that or trade that pick to Toronto for a 6th.

Now that I think about it, perhaps this was an alliteration joke. A Peterka Pekar line.

Nah.. didn't realize he was that skilled.

Couple Sabres connections, both past and present:

Roy, Redmond, and now Peterka. The Sabres-RB Munich connections are strong!

And I don't know German, but I think JJ's favorite athlete is PK Subban.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Side note. I always forget Kahun is a Sabre.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Side note. I always forget Kahun is a Sabre.

Easy to do when he played like 3 games before the hiatus.

Craziest (eg most famous) athlete or celebrity that he’s met. He met PK Subban at the Ice Hockey Academy.

 

[Wisent42]

JJ looks like a total hunk. We've drafted some butt-ugly players in the past. Maybe this draft is part of making the organization look better, literally. (And drafting by looks is probably still better than what Botterill would have done.)

 

[is the answer jesus]

Love the pick. He always stood out on those German teams in International play. Skilled, hard working, good hockey IQ. In my viewings I don't see much (if any) of a gap between him and Reichel who went at 17.

 

[Tatanka]

Our one European scout putting in work!!!!

Actually he got stuck in Germany when covid hit. Still there, visa issues. Adams threw him a bone for the effort. Was supposed to go to Sweden, hence no swedes

Is that the Team America line?
