From the time he was signed, David Sklenicka and his teammate and countrymate Martin Moravcik were invariably linked. They signed together, they had played together with their Czech team and at the World Championships, and they both took part in the team’s development and rookie camps which is rare for free agent signings with professional experience.
At the beginning, they were talked about together almost all of the time, but when they took to the ice at the camps, it was Sklenicka that caught my eye. He was a good skater, he was able to move the puck and in scrimmages, those things stick out.
