2010-11: Polasek spent time with the AHL's Manitoba Moose after signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks in April 2011 but did not appear in any games after skating for the QMJHL's P.E.I. Rocket during the season. In 61 games he led all Rocket defensemen in scoring with 7 goals and 32 assists and had an even plus/minus with 59 PMs. In the Rocket's five-game playoff series with Shawinigan he was an even plus/minus with no points and 8 PMs.
Talent Analysis
Listed at 6'2, 187 pounds, Polasek looks bigger both on and off the ice. The Czech has a hard-hitting, and effective, approach to defense. But his skill should not be overlooked. He skates well, has a hard and accurate slapshot, and makes good reads. Polasek was steady and dependable in his own end and he could quickly read the play and make moves to intercept. Strong on his skates, the 18-year-old has plenty of room to grow.
