As the final cuts are made and the pre-tournament games dwindle down to their last stretches, there are only two Vancouver Canucks prospects left at the World Junior Championships.
Lukas Jasek, an 18-year-old Czech who was drafted this past summer by Canucks GM Jim Benning in the late sixth round. Praised by many as a great pick-up late in the draft, the undersized centreman will have to wait another year if he wants to represent his country. So far this season, the hype around Jasek seems to be dying out, mainly driven about his two points in 14 games as part of the HC Trinec.
