Ignoring the fact that Cervenka had blood clots and was injured in Europe before the NHL's shortened season started.

He was not able to come over early and adapt culturally (speak any English). Supposedly the problem was solved by having Hudler assigned as his translator and cultural attache.
If Hudler was a wild and crazy guy at the time it might not have been the best opportunity for Cervenka to reach his potential.
