After some mystery surrounding Buffalo Sabres 2018 fourth-round pick (94th overall) Matej Pekar. We finally received clarification where the Czech forward will play next season.
He signed on to join the Barrie Colts of the OHL for the upcoming campaign. Which he believes gives him the best opportunity to continue develop and play in the NHL down the road.
Pekar had committed to play at the University of Miami (OH), but then decided he wanted to return to play for the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL. He played for Muskegon last season where he earned the honor of USHL rookie-of-the-year.
