He's a big body
Plays a responsible game
Has flashes of offensive potential
Points wise madly inconsistent
on a deep team he should be a very solid 3rd line player

I think you can make a case that Repcik was the most skilled player in our lineup last year. But, when you look at his stats he seems to leave you wanting a little bit more. He scored at a 0.63 point per game pace.... I think you'd like more from an 18 y/o Euro who is not a rookie.
Repcik was traded to us in October and started well. He was part of the Slovakia entry in the World Juniors and had a great tournament. Some of the local news stories mentioned the hope that this might give him a confidence boost coming back to major junior after Christmas. Going back and looking at his monthly splits, h did score much better in the second half. In October he only had points in 1 of his first 9 games with us (1-1-2 for the month). In November he was 1-3-4 in 12 games. Before the Christmas break he went 3-1-4 in 4 games.
Then in the new year he was:
-2-4-6 in 9 games in January
-1-9-10 in in 11 games in February
-1-5-6 in 9 games in March.
His shooting percentage was very low....7.6% so there should be regression there, considering that he's a skilled forward. He's probably a guy who looks to pass the puck too much, perhaps.
I guess for us it was becoming clearer we were going to draft 2 new Euros this year (probably a goalie) so the Volts were able to get a good discount on him. He could be a very good player for Drummondville this season... or he could be a guy you look to move out and upgrade at Euro if the offense seems a little shy.
He could have been a nice veteran fit for us if we retained him as a 19 y/o Euro for 23-24. We will struggle to put the puck in the net and you can have too many skilled forwards.

Normally I like your takes... i disagree pretty strongly on this one
He was far from our most skilled forward
I don't think he looked to pass too much... he just doesn't have a particularly great shot
He was very good on the PK for us .... tho with our lack of specialty teams success thats a bit of a misnomer.... I remember him missing on several breakaways
Bottom line he's joining his 4th CHL team in 3 years across 2 leagues
He was very good in the world juniors I agree

The skills are mostly all defensive. Look at his role at the WJHC...100% defensive.
The guy just can't produce points consistently as a top forward. Perfect middle 6 forward in a league like this for a good team as a 19yr old. Reliable PK guy who can grind out 1 goal games. But I don't think he will be a 25 goal or 60 point guy.

Ok…..good player on a bad team then…..am I talking the 2022-23 Charlottetown Islanders or 2023 Team Slovakia? I suppose I’m talking about both. It will be seen if he’s able to take a step and be a top 2 line player for the Volts. If not, they upgrade at Christmas and move him to a weak team. For them, they got him on the cheap so it’s a reasonable way for them to start the season. Yeah….could have 60 points as a 19 y/o player but also could have 35.

I think you have the wrong expectations if you think you're getting a top 6 PP guy. This is a bottom 6 PK guy. Very good defensively. Maybe he does breakout at 19 but I'm betting he ends up as the 3C and your top penalty killer before he's a top 6 threat and on PP1. |

The volts club finished 16 on 18 with 205 goals scored un attack last year and se lost or top scorer with Jérémy Lapointe 40 goals so I guarantee you that hé Will start on the top 6 . I don't know where hé Will end up though. |

It's not a question of waiting at 32 points last year hé Would have been pour 6th best scorer ans he Will be A year older and year after year se see players explode between 18 and 19 or 19 and 20 years old so he Will have His guaranteed chance. |
