"Prusek was a real surprise last season. He was drafted at age 23 and played in the Czech Republic before coming over to play in North America. He was an all-star during his AHL rookie season and won the starting role despite the Senators having two second-round picks - Chouinard and Lajeunesse - competing for the same job." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 78)

"After two seasons as the backup to Patrick Lalime in Ottawa, Prusek became a free agent over the summer and signed with Columbus. He'll probably get into 25-30 games as the backup to Marc Denis, and is good enough to start multiple games if the need arises. At 29, Prusek could be entering his prime."
