Organizational Comments:
What GRC says: 2007-08: While he showed enough to garner a contract with Grand Rapids, it was the glint of talent, not actual production that secured the job. The Czech born sniper only managed 2 assists in the 13 games in a Griffins uniform, but potted 20 shots on goal in that span. Fojtik has already been invited to training camp in GR for next season, but has his work cut out for him to unseat the players above him.
Winter 2008: Fojtik is a nice combination of skill and physical play. How is game will translate at the AHL level is anyone's guess.
Role: Scoring Winger
Projection: AHL Forward
