I haven’t seen a prospect hyped up by San Jose Sharks fans who wasn’t known for his flashy point totals or playmaking ability in a long time, but that’s changed with Adam Raska’s arrival in the organization.
Raska was a seventh-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, coming from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Rismouski Oceanic. NHL Central Scouting ranked Raska 112th out of North American skaters that year.
The winger began his 2021-22 season in his native Czechia, playing two games with HC Ocelari Trinec, where he was held pointless, before joining HC Frydek-Mistek in the second-tier Czechia league, where he recorded one assist in 11 games.
