Signs with Swiss club
Sobotka (knee) agreed to terms on a short-term deal with NLA team SCRJ Lakers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Sobotka's deal is just a one-month, injury-replacement contract which will allow him to play for the team. The Czech native will still be eligible to sign with an NHL club now that free agency has opened up. The center missed most of the 2020-21 campaign due to a knee injury, so the market for him could certainly be limited. This deal will allow Sobtoka to show NHL teams he is fully fit.

Sobotka was a nice bottom-six contributor for the Blues with 31 points in 2017-18, but he dropped off after moving to Buffalo for the 2018-19 season, posting just 13 points and a minus-20 rating. The best case scenario for the 32-year-old Czech would be a return to 2017-18 levels of production, but with age-related decline kicking in and a fourth-line role, he'd probably be happy to break 20 points.
