Then he jumped to Sparta Praha and got 13 goals 30 pts in 43 games... Using your logic the Oilers should be looking to see If he has Chemistry with Hall-Drasitl .... he should be good for 30-40 NHL pts.

A journeyman NHLer Sobotka was a ppg player in that league. It would be great if Pribyl turns out to be close to Sobotka.... a hard to play against bottom 6 that can chip in with 20-30 pts.
Don't often agree, but I do in this case. We all want to find a guy that can slot onto that top line, but hoping Pribyl to turn into a top line player that can hang with Monahan and Gaudreau is far too much I think. If he can put up 20-30 points as a bottom 6 player, I'll be happy.
