Martin Bartos
Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Bartos was Saint John’s first European selection in the franchise’s history, chosen fifth overall in the 2005 CHL Import Draft, after having spent the past several seasons in the Vitkovice organization in the Czech Republic. In the 2004-05 season with Vitkovice’s under-20 squad, the talented Bartos picked up 29 points in 35 games. Bartos was expected to be a key contributor for the expansion squad, and did not disappoint initially, getting off to a strong start in spite of his relative inexperience in the North American game. Bartos was selected to play for the Czech World Junior squad, and notched three goals in their seven games, and hoped to ride the high of a strong performance on in the international stage into the second half of the season, but ran into injury troubles, tweaking his knee, which forced Bartos to pull out of the Top Prospects Game and hampered the remainder of his season. He finished with 28 points in 43 games.
Talent Analysis
Bartos is a talented playmaker and puck-carrier, who has good size, but does not use it as well to his advantage as would be hoped. He has a good shot, and good awareness in the offensive zone, but tends to neglect his defensive play. He also occasionally runs into consistency problems, as documented by his sharp decline in quality play in the second half of the season (though injuries, and his participation in the World Juniors also played a role in that).
Future
Bartos is a talented forward, but needs to gain some consistency. He will have to improve his all-around game, or he may end up just seeing spot duty, as well as sparse power play time. Bartos will join the Acadie Bathurst Titan next season, after having been traded at the draft.
