you didnt really help him

At least, this thread is still live.

Looks solid at WJC, at 17 is our first D, too much responsibility on him. See him as a late 2. or early 3. rounder.

Did he play better than Jaros?

Did he play better than Jaros?

In my opinion, JaroÅ¡ has been our best Dman so far, Bačik and Černák are tied as second best.

 

[Bojovnik]

Tournament shows that he is still incredibly raw, and it would take a few years to become a regular NHLer, but I do think he has good upside still.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Improving on his skating would help.

Bob McKenzie has him at 23rd.?
right where the Canucks pick.

 

[EON]

wonder if this guy gets picked up in the import draft and comes over to the CHL next season

 

[smitty10]

If the Leafs pick a forward with their first pick I really wouldn't mind them taking him with Nashville's. This kid looks like the real deal and put up good numbers playing against men.

CHL will be a step back. I see it more for Slovan Bratislava (if they stay in KHL), or some seasons in Europe. Maybe also in HC Kosice.
Or, something like Tatar, direct to AHL.

i'd be very happy with that, but I don't think he'll go that high.

Worst move he could make.

Thanks!

 

[EON]

well wouldn't you know it, Erie ends up taking him. Interested to see if they get him to sign

I little surprise - Cernak is going to OHL. Not AHL.

 

[JayHockey]

It's better for him to go with Erie to work on his skating, accel and decisions making in his own zone.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

After some goofing around, looks like he's finally headed to Erie and will be in the lineup soon!

Excited just to see him start playing. Ontario folks seem to point out that even at his age he's a ridiculous physical specimen.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Got his first goal and point the other night! 2 pts in 5 games, +2, locals suggest he's acclimating well for anyone who is interested

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Thx. I had him ranked in the first rd at #27. Combination of size and skill and physicality. He can be a good one.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

How's he look?

 

[gifted88]

Did this kid make any improvements on his skating? How did he look in Erie?
