Marek Stastka

Player Overview Marek Stastka is a 19-year-old Czech forward playing for Bili Tygri Liberec U20 who merits attention ahead of the 2026 draft as an overage contributor in his domestic U20 environment.

Current Production Over his last 10 games, Stastka has recorded 2 goals and 6 assists for 8 points, a rate that leans heavily toward distribution rather than finishing. The 3:1 assist-to-goal ratio suggests a player oriented around facilitating offense, though the -1 plus/minus warrants scrutiny regarding his overall two-way engagement.

Key Attributes The concentration of assists in his recent sample points to above-average playmaking instincts — Stastka appears to read offensive-zone situations well enough to consistently put linemates in scoring positions. His ability to accumulate points at a steady clip in a 10-game stretch indicates he maintains involvement through games rather than producing in bursts. However, at age 19 competing at the U20 level, evaluators will want to weigh his production against the relative competition ceiling of the Czech U20 league.

2026 Draft Outlook Given his age profile as an overage U20 player and the limited visibility of his production beyond the Czech U20 circuit, Stastka projects as a late-round candidate if he surfaces on NHL club lists at all. The most pressing developmental requirement before June is demonstrating an ability to suppress negative defensive-zone results, as the minus rating alongside modest goal totals will raise questions about his NHL floor.
