My bad.. I doubt it. Maybe the camps before the final cuts are made.I was talking about Svozil...could he also make the Skoda team in theory?

He and Bedard have great chemistryDeserves a bump I'd guess, as he's currently having the highest PPG out of all defensemen in the CHL. He's been on a roll since the World juniors with 34 points in 18 games.
They'd look great together in Columbus in the future!He and Bedard have great chemistry
Woohoo!They'd look great together in Columbus in the future!
NHL? This week? What is happening?lol. Is it possible him and jiricek play together in NHL this week?
Jiricek played last night.. over 20 minutes. Did he get sent back down?Unlikely considering Jiricek wasnt called up. Although im not sure if Cleveland plays when Columbus plays Buffalo
Probably not. Both have plenty to prove yet but both have solid upside. Ceulemans is probably ahead but 1 being a righty and the other a lefty they wont get in each others wayHey BJ fans- would you say Svozil has passed Ceulemans as a prospect for Columbus?

He did!
At the U20's... he stood out more than Jiricek in the first 4 games. It was hard to say one was clearly better (I'd include Spacek here too). They were just so damn dominant.Call me crazy but I might like him more than Jiricek. I've seen almost every Monsters game this year and David has been very steady, but what Svozil has done in Regina and the snippet last night was very impressive. I've seen about 15 Pats games this year and the way he processes the game will translate well to the NHL. He has a great shot, good motor, and not afraid to attack in the O zone. He hasn't been a defensive liability in doing so because he can get back into the play and uses his stick to disrupt plays in the Neutral zone or at the line. He's also tough to beat 1v1.
Last night right off the bat first shift he took a D to D pass from Boqvist in his own zone, picked his head up and fired a cross ice stretch pass to the winger, same shift he took a pass of the wall and got a good wrister on net. Was a few plays where he showed he wasn't afraid to jump into the rush and was even behind the net a few times. Was comfortable on the power play and for sure can be a future power play qb on this team.
I think he will be the better offensive catalyst and his D game is no slouch, he will need to adjust to the NHL but the way he uses his stick is right up there with Jiricek.
Both these guys are ahead of Ceulemans for me, by a decent margin too.
I agree Jiricek in those last two games was a force for them and the best overall D. Don't get me wrong I like them both, I just think when Svozil arrives here next year he'll really impress the fans that don't know who he is yet.At the U20's... he stood out more than Jiricek in the first 4 games.

For the medals, Jiricek stood out more.
I'm in shock he already has a cup of coffee in the NHL. I'd say this guarantees no more CHL and AHL next year. Maybe he even gets a call or two?
He had a beauty pinch and backhand last night (he scores a lot on his backhand) but missed the net.
And if CBJ gets Bedard, we might be able to speed up that timeline with the chemistry those 2 share.My prediction is he starts in the AHL next year and could be a mainstay on the NHL roster by Christmas. He's had a full year of playing in North America under his belt but on top of that was a force in the WHL most nights.
Yeah that'd be great. I'm one of the CBJ fans that's pissed about winning last night, but hopefully we can still get him.And if CBJ gets Bedard, we might be able to speed up that timeline with the chemistry those 2 share.
