PetRocksAreMotionless Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 And there's another free agent we should keep our eye on who most people haven't heard of: a 22-year-old Czech by the name of Jiri Sekac. He went through the NHL Drafts and never got picked up. He was once cut by the Peterborough Petes but he had a strong year in the KHL playing for the Prague team. Right now he has more than a dozen firm offers on a max entry-level deal for two years. He's expected over the next couple of days to make up his mind as to which team. This is a guy who is in great demand. He's a 6'2, 190 pound left winger who many believe is ready to step in NHL-ready. Bob McKenzie on the TSN Insider Page. I wonder if we have made this kid an offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 If we haven't - we should, there is no reason not to take a chance here if both sides are willing. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keslerific Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 He is a late blooming forward with some upside to him. As much as I would have liked the Canucks to have offered him I think we need the spot for a guy who needs to make the jump now like Dane Fox or any prospect who is ready. With only 12 forward spots and mostly veteran forwards there is not much room for our young guns this season barring some trades or a buyout.

PetRocksAreMotionless Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 We got enough AHL guys. Almost half of the league is looking to sign him though, so I doubt any of them believe that. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were signed, how would he not qualify as a prospect who needs to make the jump similar to Dane Fox, or any of the other prospects for that matter? The Czech kid is 22. Nothing wrong with adding another prospect to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl's Jn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 every year there is a stud in the making prospect that people get pumped for and the canucks are in the running but misses out... lets see if this trend continues. at least gillis did get burrows....

Pears Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Never heard of him but he sounds promising every year there is a stud in the making prospect that people get pumped for and the canucks are in the running but misses out... lets see if this trend continues. at least gillis did get burrows....

The Czech kid is 22. Nothing wrong with adding another prospect to the mix. Definitely nothing wrong with another prospect! would not mind having the guy. Was just thinking that now is the time for our youth to make the jump and with the amount of NHL forwards we have they might not get the chance without some trading or a buyout. Sedin Sedin Burrows Higgins Kesler Kassian Booth Matthias Jensen Sestito Richardson Hansen Santorelli might be brought back too so it may be tough to get a roster spot next year, we might also bring in free agents.

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I remember when we didn't pick up the great Anton Belov (sarcasm) via free agency and that's where "GMMG Out GM'd Again!" started. If we miss out on this kid: GMJB Out GM'd Again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
