Draft R2 #63: Rangers select LW Adam Sýkora (HK Nitra, Slovakia)

[Kocur26]

He's only 19 years old. He's the youngest player in the AHL. What he's doing at that age, is incredible. I'd say at least this full season in the AHL and next year he might earn a spot in camp. Nothing surprises me anymore with this kid.

He was killing penalties in pro hockey at age 16. That alone is baffling.

Good sht thx !!

It is Sykora's third WJC so not entirely unexpected. Not all that many play two and very few three.

I heard Nico Gross was playing in his 13th consecutive tournament for Switzerland, any truth to that?

About as true as Mikhail Pashinin suiting up for Russia. Still expecting him to come to North America any day now!

First overall in the Russian inaugural prospects draft!

whomp, way to downplay that accomplishment. He was named captain because the guy gives everything on the ice and is a leader, not because it’s his 3rd time there.
