Red Wings prospect Michal Svrcek has stated that he’ll be playing for Brynas IF of the Swedish SHL this upcoming season, but the OHL’s Windsor Spitfires are not giving up hope of recruiting Svrcek to play for them after selecting Svrcek in the CHL’s Import Draft.
The Windsor Star’s Jim Parker reports that Spitfires GM Bill Bowler feels that the chapter isn’t closed in terms of Svrcek’s future quite yet:
Meanwhile, Bowler is uncertain about the status of Slovakian forward Michal Svrcek, who was the team’s first-round pick in this year’s import draft.
A Detroit Red Wings’ fourth-round pick, reports out of Europe quote Svrcek as indicating he will return to play in Sweden for Brynas, but Bowler is taking a wait-and-see approach for now.
Michal Svrček is under contract with Brynäs. He is signed to a 1+1 deal that expires 1st of May in 2027 (if Brynäs executes the option year).
There’s no legal way a CHL team can have him play for them next season.
I don’t expect them to convince Brynas to let Svrcek go.
