I don't mind him not being in theCHL one less year taking the heavier game in NA. A year working on his offense first before the demands of a two way coach.

Also one more year to get stronger.

Jasek was cut from the roster:

Vancouver Canucks fans will have one less prospect to cheer for at the 2016 World Juniors, as Lukas Jasek gets cut from the Czech World Juniors team. Jake Virtanen, though, is lighting it up.

Lukas Jasek, an 18-year-old Czech who was drafted this past summer by Canucks GM Jim Benning in the late sixth round. Praised by many as a great pick-up late in the draft, the undersized centreman will have to wait another year if he wants to represent his country. So far this season, the hype around Jasek seems to be dying out, mainly driven about his two points in 14 games as part of the HC Trinec.

But as an 18-year-old playing in the top Czech hockey league, a steep learning curve should not be too much of a concern for Canucks fans. After all, usually left out of his stat line is the fact that earlier this season at the Czech U20 level, Jasek had 16 points in six games. He is still a great pick at the sixth round, if you ask me.

With the skill level he boasts, hopefully next year he goes to Utica (which he is eligible for as a 19 year old coming from EU) and finds his game at NA level. This kid has a bright future but really has to get out of Czech league or whatever. If he can put it together a very young age considering him being a late pick and not being utilized to his full potential at a very bad league, this will be very good for us. He's also a winger apparently which is good.
