He'll be a bitch to play against if he ever makes the NHL. It sucks that they keep adding left wings, but they added a very useful player in a weak draft.

Long live the King Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Quote Few players match Sýkora’s intensity on the ice. He’s all-in, every shift. He bounces from opponent to opponent, barely giving them any time to handle the puck, blocks shots like he’s immune to pain, and attacks loose pucks like the fate of the world depends on his ability to catch them. On the backcheck, he pursues escaping opponents and completely neutralizes them. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/527426/adam-sykora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 17 years old. Ask me in 4 seasons when he actually has a shot at the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The draft analytics people love this kid. I'd wager his playstyle is a "doesn't matter what wing he plays" - not that it matters as he's probably three+ years off. This is the part of the draft where you have like a 1 in 4 chance of hitting an NHLer and a 1-in-30 or so to end up with a higher end guy. If he's Jesper Fast or, like, a dime-store Ryan Callahan - huge win with the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely 2-3 seasons before he sees North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Yeah he’s a few years out from the nhl it sounds like but I like what I’m hearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 For some more context. He's also one of the youngest in the draft - so a pretty smart pick here. If he were born a week later, he's in the 2023 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Despite his age, he's considered much closer given his intangibles. I wouldn't be shocked if he's already in the AHL this year instead of going back to Slovakia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad; could have sworn Hockey DB had him listed as a 16 year old when I looked 15 minutes ago. Maybe it just got updated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Never heard of him before, but since he's a left wing I will be bitching about this pick for atleast a couple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
