An update on the Martin Reway situation with HC Sparta Praha

The Czech and Slovak media have sort of brandished Martin Reway as a troubled child, a bohemian player, a rebel without a cause, and so on. Some of my sources in the Czech Republic and Slovakia also state that appreciation for junior players is not that common, and that having a star that sticks out in more ways than on the ice can cause disruption to the system.

Reway is a star, there is no doubt about it. He is the same age as guys like Aleksander Barkov and Nathan MacKinnon, and probably doesn't agree with picking up pucks and carrying bags after practice.
