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.
Difference being this is a 23 year old player entering his prime now who has never played in a North American league, so how he performs in pro has YTBD. He is more promising than you give him credit for.

Edit: And also sort of totally outscored this Curtis Hamilton and thus is a poor comparable.
