According to iDnes.cz’s Petr Bilek, Rytíři Kladno owner and player Jaromir Jagr headed to Riga, Latvia to take in Nikola Jokic’s performance at the “EuroBasket” game between the Czechs and Portugal, on Wednesday.
Jagr was able to squeeze in the game on Wednesday, between two preseason games, via taking his team’s ownership’s private plane to and from Riga, and as Jagr was in Latvia, his friend, Red Wings free agent signing Eduards Tralmaks, made the game arrangements for Jagr and his girlfriend.
Here’s a picture of Jagr enjoying the game from the sidelines:
“Eddie” Tralmaks is 28, and he earned a 1-year, 2-way contract from the Red Wings after the 6’4,” 209-pound winger led the Czech Extraliga in scoring with 23 goals and 28 assists for 51 points in 48 games played.
Tralmaks also posted 3 goals and 4 assists in 7 games played for the Latvian national team during the World Championship.
That, and he’s tight with Jaromir Jagr, so there’s that.
Could Tralmaks be a consideration for top line LW this season? Big story to watch at camp and in the pre-season.
