SC Bern verpflichtet Center Austin Czarnik
Der SC Bern hat sich die Dienste von Center Austin Czarnik gesichert. Der Amerikaner, der in der vergangenen Saison sowohl für die Detroit Red Wings als auch für die Grand Rapids Griffins auflief, unterschreibt einen Einjahresvertrag.
Für das NHL-Team Detroit Red Wings spielte Czarnik letzte Saison 34 Spiele, für den AHL-Affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins bestritt er 38 Partien.
„Czarnik ist ein Center, der auf beiden Seiten des Pucks stark ist und in allen Situationen eingesetzt werden kann. Wir sind überzeugt, dass er der Mannschaft mit seiner Erfahrung und Führungsstärke helfen kann“, erklärt SCB General Manager Patrik Bärtschi.
Der 31-jährige Czarnik bringt NHL-Erfahrung mit, nachdem er unter anderem für die Boston Bruins, Calgary Flames, New York Islanders und Seattle Kraken spielte. Insgesamt stehen 205 NHL-Partien mit 18 Toren und 33 Assists sowie 308 AHL-Spiele mit 105 Toren und 185 Assists in seiner Bilanz. 2018 wurde er zudem ins AHL All-Star Classic Team berufen.
Vertrag mit Kalle Kossila wird nicht in Kraft gesetzt
Leider muss der SC Bern bekanntgeben, dass der kürzlich angekündigte Transfer von Kalle Kossila nicht vollzogen werden kann, da der Spieler die notwendigen Checks nicht bestanden hat. Der Vertrag mit Kossila wird daher nicht in Kraft treten. Der SC Bern wünscht Kalle Kossila alles Gute für seine zukünftige Karriere.
Mit Czarnik, der von Teamkollegen und Fans oft „Z“ genannt wird, sind für die kommende Saison nun sieben Ausländer beim SC Bern unter Vertrag: Torhüter Adam Reideborn, die Verteidiger Anton Lindholm und Patrik Nemeth sowie die Stürmer Victor Ejdsell, Dominik Kahun, Waltteri Merelä und Austin Czarnik.

Re: SCB 24/25
bin froh, dass Kossila nicht kommt.
ist aber schon sehr unsäglich, dass der SCB fast jedes Jahr einen Verletzten Ausländer verpflichtet. Unsäglich absolut katastrophal extrem miserables Scouting, wenn da überhaupt sowas vorhanden ist. es ist zu hoffen, dass die anderen Neuen hoffentlich fit UND einsatzfähig sind. Die Liste verletzt verpflichteter Ausländer wächst und wächst unbd dürfte in der Schweiz einmalig negativ sein.....
hätte lieber Rocco Grimaldi gesehen...., mal gucken was der neue Amerikaner zeigt, sofern er den Medizincheck übersteht

Re: SCB 24/25
Immerhin wurden die Probleme vor Beginn der Saison festgestellt und man hat sofort reagiert. Für das sind solche Checks ja da. Den neuen Mann kenne ich nicht und kann ihn nicht beurteilen. Nun ist ein bunter Mix an ausländischem Personal vorhanden. Bin gespannt wie die sich zusammen entwickeln werden.

Man hat ihn ja nicht verpflichtet, soweit alles gut
Die Kritik mit den verletzungsanfälligen Ausländern ist wohl berechtigt (was mir bitte auch noch jemand in Vereinsübergreifenden Statistiken beweisen möge!), aber nicht in diesem Fall!

Re: SCB 24/25
1-1 Marc Arcobello nur jünger und mehr NHL Spiele. Knapp einen Punkt in der AHL.
Der kann was.
Wahrscheinlich besser als der beste Center ausserhalb der NHL.
Der mit Kahun und Lehmann....SPEED kills!
Schönen Restsommer!

PS
Endlich sind da Profis am Werk, die einen Medcheck ernst nehmen.
Danke Plüssi!

Re: SCB 24/25
Kalle Kossila wurde doch noch von der Alten Sportabteilung Verpflichtet...?!
Re: SCB 24/25
Immerhin ein Fortschritt, dass man medizinische Probleme nicht erst während der Saison entdeckt. Das wäre die wievielte Saison oder der wievielte Ausländer hintereinander gewesen?
Re: SCB 24/25
Hier ein Bericht über ihn von 2018 aus der NY Times:
A closer look at new Flames forward Austin Czarnik
Austin Czarnik might be the biggest wild card on the Flames’ roster heading into the new season. The diminutive 25-year-old Michigan native has only played in 59 NHL games over two seasons, scoring 17 points, but nevertheless had a lot of NHL suitors in the offseason.
So, how did a player with such a limited résumé manage to get a two-year, one-way contract worth $2.5 million? And what exactly do the Flames have in Czarnik, anyway?
An impressive résumé
The recent NHL accomplishments of Jonathan Marchessault, Tyler Johnson, and Yanni Gourde likely have something to do with the interest surrounding Czarnik. All three guys were smallish, undrafted forwards who put up big numbers in the AHL before moving up and making an impact in the show.
Those seem like lofty comparables, but here’s how their AHL careers compare to Czarnik:
“Age” in this context is the age at which each player essentially made the NHL full time (with Czarnik poised to do that next year).
Clearly, his results compare favorably to all of those in question. Czarnik has basically been a point-per-game player since making the AHL at 22 years old, which is actually better than any of the others listed here.
Of course, there’s always a risk in cherry picking the biggest outliers as typical and then assuming a given situation is going to be similar. For every one Marchessault who makes it, there are probably five Cal O’Reilly’s who never manage to make the leap.
Nevertheless, there’s another reason to be optimistic about Czarnik. Though he was never drafted, he put up respectable numbers almost immediately upon jumping into college out of the USHL.
Here’s how his numbers looked prior to and after turning pro:
NHLe is the NHL translation factor** according to the player’s PPG pace and relative difficulty of the league. Czarnik’s big jump in 2013-14 is due, in part, to his team in Miami University moving from the less-difficult CCHA to the NCHC.
Despite Czarnik being slightly older than the typical prospect, his results have been pretty consistently above board, and well above average since his junior college season. Jumping directly into pro hockey and maintaining a PPG pace and a 35+ NHLe is also very encouraging.
In terms of his other accomplishments, Czarnik also finished his college career with 169 points for Miami, the fifth most in the school’s history. In 2015-16, his 61 points were the most of any AHL rookie. He was the CCHA rookie of the year in 2011-12 and the league’s top player in 2012-13. He was also a first- or second-team All-Star every year during college while making the all-rookie team in his first season in the AHL, and a second-team All-Star as a sophomore. Czarnik led his college team in scoring in three of his four years. The only time that he placed second was to Reilly Smith — a future NHLer who was two years older at the time — in Czarnik’s rookie season.
That’s a pretty solid résumé for any prospect, let alone a guy who was never drafted. In looking over scouting reports, the only real downside frequently noted is Czarnik’s 5-foot-9, 160-pound stature. Otherwise, he is described as quick, smart, feisty and creative with excellent puck-distribution skills.
Basically, Czarnik has been dominant at lower levels for years but was passed over due to size concerns. If we bring this back to the comparison to Marchessault and company, we see more similarities. Marchessault scored 40 goals and 95 points in his final season in the QMJHL before jumping directly into the AHL and becoming a star. Johnson managed 53 goals and 115 points in the WHL before scoring at a near PPG pace for two seasons in the AHL.
Where does he fit?
Normally, 25-year-olds with 50 games of NHL experience wouldn’t be penciled into an NHL team’s starting lineup. However, the Flames made a significant pitch to Czarnik in the summer, even sending Brad Treliving and Bill Peters to meet with him in Michigan.
The meeting apparently swayed Czarnik to sign with the Flames, even though he had up to 20 suitors. The player revealed that the decision-makers had plans and projections for his future with the team. To prove their commitment, the Flames signed Czarnik to the aforementioned one-way, $1.25 million-per-year deal.
As such, it’s unlikely that Czarnik won’t get a long look on the parent squad out of the gate.
Another potential obstacle was recently removed when Troy Brouwer was bought out of his contract. Given that Czarnik will most likely be slotted on the right wing, Brouwer was probably his biggest impediment to becoming an everyday NHLer this season. With him gone, the remaining competition includes Garnet Hathaway, Curtis Lazar and Spencer Foo.
Assuming Czarnik beats them all out in camp (highly likely), look for him to land on a fourth line with Mark Jankowski at center and some combination of the other fringe guys on left wing (Lazar, Hathway, or Andrew Mangiapane).
Peters has also noted that Czarnik was excellent on the power play in the AHL and might find some time on the Flames’ man advantage. That makes sense in theory, though, with guys like Elias Lindholm, Matthew Tkachuk, Johnny Gaudreau and James Neal already in the fold, it might be difficult to find ice time for the youngster absent an injury or two.
If the club’s fourth line is indeed comprised of a handful of high-upside youngsters, it will signal a big shift away from veterans and grit guys that has been typical in Calgary (and throughout the league) for a long time.
This potential change in philosophy might have been spurred by the club’s lack of scoring last year, specifically due, in part, to its fourth unit being a total black hole at even strength. As mentioned, the recent compelling success stories of guys similar to Czarnik no doubt helped change perspectives a bit, toward making room and gambling on skill rather than going the safe and traditional route at the bottom of the rotation.
Despite his accomplishment, Czarnik is obviously not guaranteed to turn into the next Johnson or Marchessault. However, given the Flames’ struggle to score and the NHL’s continued evolution into a speed-and-skill game, Czarnik represents a worthwhile gamble. It will be interesting to see if he can establish himself as an NHLer this year.
SCOUTING REPORT
The diminutive forward was a big point producer in both college hockey and the American Hockey League, but he has had to reinvent himself as a depth forward at the NHL level. He still has the skills and vision that helped him produce points at lower levels, but his lack of size and speed have combined to limit his usefulness in the NHL.

Gemäss dem Schwedischen Hockeyportal Hockeynews soll sich Ambri mit Kalle Kossila beschäftigen. Obs zum Vertrag kommt, wird wohl der Medizincheck entscheiden......
