He also played for Slovakia U-18 scoring two goals and two assist's and 8 pim. in 6 games. All i can say is the import draft is a crap shoot. This guy has size at 6'4" 207lbs. as is the Bronco's second pick Daniel Rako's from the Czech republic who plays center and stands 6'2" 194lbs. These guys had more than average penalty minutes for a Euro but N.A. hockey is more aggressive and in your face. Can they adjust to the N.A.style? New country and language? Will they even report? Look at our Euro draft last year. The guy scored almost a goal a game in Europe and came over here and couldn't adjust to the style and was a flop. Never count on a Euro pick to save the team. There are only a handful of these types, case in point was Varlamov and Brindle. But maybe we have a diamond in the rough. Hope so.
