A transaction has officially been completed involving the Detroit Red Wings' Slovakian prospect Michal Svrček.
Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings scouting department decided to draft Michal Svrček at the 119th overall pick at the 2025 NHL Draft.
The five-foot-ten, 18-year-old left winger has been playing in the Swedish Hockey League for the past two years with Brynäs IF as well as its junior club.
Today, sources confirmed a transaction involving the player that will help his development.
Red Wings Prospect Michal Svrček Loaned From SHL Team
The organization confirmed in an official press release that Svrček was loaned from the SHL to Sweden's second league to give the forward a chance at getting more ice time. So far, in 12 games this season, he averaged only 2:26 of ice time.
This move allows the team to move the player between Brynäs in the SHL and its junior affiliate, as well as Västerås in the second-tier league.
Per team statement:
"Brynäs IF has agreed with the All-Swedish hockey club Västerås IK on a dual registration of 18-year-old forward Michal Svrcek.
'This enables us and Michal that he can play in the men's team, U20 and in Västerås. Previously this has not been an issue, but we now see it as a good opportunity for Michal to get ice time also in Hockeyallsvenskan when we think it is suitable,' says sports director Johan Alcén.
Michal will play with Västerås tonight in their home match against Vimmerby."

This move will at least let him play a bigger role on the ice with a team during his journey to the NHL.
