I agree that Cervenka would have been fine if he stayed another year - everything stacked against him that year.

However, I also think that Cervenka wasn't a real fast skater. He is the kind of guy that has the talent to dominate a lesser league, but didn't have the speed to excel in the NHL.

Pribyl, being 2nd in the Czech league in scoring, obviously has some similar talent. But more importantly, he also has NHL speed by the looks of it.
