Jakub Skarek is regarded as one of the top goalie prospects from the 2018 NHL Draft and for good reason. His numbers in the Czech league have been very good for an 18 year old, and he’s 6’3” and very athletic. All things to like out of a goalie for the future.
At 18, Skarek had a .913 sv% in 21 games in the Czech league, and a .942 in 10 games in the Czech2 league. However, in international play, he’s struggled. Regardless of the level, he’s had trouble playing with his Czech Republic team, and has especially struggled at the World Juniors, where it’s best on best.
