Tweet of note: Michal Svrcek will remain with Brynas IF instead of heading to Windsor

Red Wings Prospects on Twitter cites a Swedish report which states that Detroit Red Wings prospect and 119th overall 2025 draft pick Michal Svrcek will remain in Sweden this upcoming season, despite Svrcek being drafted by the OHL’s Windsor Spitfires in the CHL import draft.

Per HockeyNews.se’s Mattias Persson:

Forward prospect Michal Svrcek will remain with Brynas–it’s clear after the 18-year-old confirmed his decision in an interview with the Slovakian outlet TVnoviny.

“This week I agreed with my agent [Allan Walsh] and Detroit’s management that I will stay with Brynas for the upcoming season, where I’ll try to start the season with the men’s A-team,” he says.

Slovakian talent Michal Svrcek has been with Brynas since 2025 and is now entering his fourth consecutive season with the team.

During this past season, he impressed with 30 points in 30 games in the J20 league, and also got a chance with the men’s team–where he posted 1 goal and 2 assists in 17 regular season games.

After the season, Svrcek was selected 119th overall in the NHL draft by the Detroit Red Wings, and it’s been unclear for a long time where he would play next season. Recently, his agent opened up about playing in the OHL with the Windsor Spitfires–but now it is clear that he will stay in Gavle.

“We are actively working with Michal and Detroit to find out where the best place for him to play is,” his agent, Allan Walsh, told the Windsor Star just under a week ago.

But now it’s clear that he will continue with Brynas. The forward himself confirmed this to the Slovak media.

“This week I agreed with my agent and Detroit’s management that I will stay in Brynas for another season, where I will try to start the season with the men’s A-team,” he tells the Slovak television channel TVNoviny.
