Michal Sersen

Prospect Grade: 5.5 C  (About Prospect Grades)

History

Sersen spent the 2002-03 season in his native Slovakia, where he played with HC Slovan Harvard Bratislava. He had five goals and four assists with the Junior team (+22) in 33 games before being promoted to the Extraliga. He was then pointless in 17 games. Michal also joined Team Slovakia at the 2003 World Junior Championship. He ended the tournament with only one assist and a combined plus/minus of –4. He was selected in the CHL Import draft first overall by the Rimouski Oceanic after agreeing to play in the QMJHL. The big defenseman got 25 points in 45 games, missing plenty of time suffering from an injury. He came back strongly in the playoffs where he put up six points in only nine games.

Talent Analysis

Michal Sersen was touted as a great offensive defenseman. He delivered the points but seemed prone to injuries. He is big and mobile and knows how to create scoring chances. Must improve his defensive play and show up at every games, which was a concern last year.
