Jakub Vanecek's Player Profile

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3rd: "He's not super physical, but he competes, he can move and shoot pucks, he skates well and he quickly figured things out in North America. He'll also try things one-on-one and plays with confidence, though I'm not convinced he has PP skill up levels, which made me a little resistant to ranking him in the first round when there started to be some chatter about him there in the late fall."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - April 14th: "He beats opponents by taking their space away and forcing them to the perimeter. Vanecek isn’t too shabby with the puck, although his decision-making needs a bit of work. I like his two-way game and I think he’ll force his way into a bottom-pairing situation one day."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 17th: "He's not super physical, but he competes, he can move and shoot pucks, he skates well and he quickly figured things out in North America. I'm not sure he has PP or PK value up levels, which made me a little resistant to ranking him when there started to be noise around him in the late fall, but he's a good player and a worthy mid-round pick."
