Wouldn't be surprised if cehlarik gets a call up soon. He's been a pro for a while. Wouldn't mind seeing him try to jumpstart the big clubs 3rd line. He has a 3rd line depth scorer feel to him
He was one of the standouts pre-season...not sure why he was sent down to Providence. Hoping he does have a chance on the 3rd line. Watching Hayes is making me sick to my stomach. Crazy how many lives Hayes has. Really head scratching. Must drive other prospects crazy!!!!
Cehlarik is interesting I think. Played in the Swedish league, decent offensive stats in a league known for defense. I've had a chance to watch him more than the other prospects because he played on the Slovakian WJC and IIHF WC teams, but I'd struggle to put a comparable on him. He plays the game in a very European style, puck control and seeing the open ice well but seeming to struggle in areas where North American hockey excels, attacking the net, board work and strength on the puck. Prior to the PB's season the Journal had an article where Dean was quoted extensively about Cehlarik. My memory is that he indicated that management felt Cehlarik needed to work on his skating, in the sense that he needed to maintain a consistent effort level during a shift to stay with the play. The old "keep your feet moving" trope. So, I was really surprised and take it as a good sign that he was (apparently?) given an "A" by Dean.
rinaldo looking like connor mcdavid with that first goal lol showing some sweet hands with that move on his breakaway
His skating appeared to be much improved during preseason (and not just in a keep your feet moving sort of way).
Cehlarik Goal and assist tonight. He should be called up. Unreal watching 3rd line struggles

4-3 loss in OT at Toronto. Rinaldo, Mueller and Szwarz with goals. Vladar made 35 saves on 39 shots.

No points and a minus 1 tonight.
