Cervenka should tell Calgary to go suck eggs.

"Yeah, so Roman, you should sign this deal for one year. But I'm sure you'll meet loads of bonuses when Hartley plays you as the set-up man for Brian McGrattan... that is, when you're not being scratched in favor of Steve 'fewer-goals-since-2009-than-you-have-since February' Begin."

I think his closest comparable is Kristian Huselius. Extremely poised and creative, coming to the NHL after several successful professional seasons in Europe. Need to be carefully deployed because of relatively poor defence, but if used properly will score 20-25 goals and be an offensive catalyst.

However, I think Cervenka is much more consistent than Huselius. When Cervenka disappears, it's usually because he's only been given 5 minutes of ice time.
