Another thing with Ruzicka is that during the past WJC, the Slovak coach benched him multiple times during the big moments of games. To bench a returning player that was one of the only draft picks on your team tells a huge story. As well, from what we have seen, Ruzicka doesn't improve as the stage gets bigger. He seems to have hit a brick wall in terms of production during these playoffs and he didn't provide much of anything during the WJC's, arguably the most important games of his young hockey career. He will definitely need to work on consistency if he is to have a shot at earning an entry-level contract.
