Rousek was drafted the Sabres with the 160th overall selection in the 2019 NHL Draft. The 22-year-old winger appeared in 49 regular season games with HC Sparta Praha this season, accruing 14 goals and 24 assists. He also put up seven points (2-5) in 11 playoff games.
According to The Athletic’s John Vogl, Rousek is not likely to join the AHL’s Rochester Americans, but at this point, signing his entry-level contract means he’s probably come to Buffalo for offseason training in the summer and go from there.
Lukas Rousek’s agent, Dan Milstein, says by the time Rousek’s visa came through, the AHL season would likely be over.
“The goal for Lukáš is to come and stay to train in Buffalo early this summer.”
