Description
Adam Jiříček was on his way to being a top 10 draft in the upcoming draft before a knee injury at World Juniors knocked him out for the rest of the season. Tony Ferrari of The Hockey News joins to profile the Czech defenseman and why he could be worth the risk for the San Jose Sharks. We examine what type of defenseman Jiříček projects to be in the National Hockey League and how he compares to his brother, who was a top-five pick.
