Robert Czarnik, a third-round pick of the Kings last year, has been selected to attend the U.S. National Junior Evaluation Camp in New York from Aug. 7-15. This camp is intended to evaluate prospects for the 2010 World Junior Championships.

Czarnik totaled five goals and 11 assists in 36 games during his freshman year at Michigan this season. He earned a bronze medal with Team USA in last year's Under-18 World Championships.

FYI - there's a good article about MPS right now on nhl.com.

Sounds like he had a great WJC. But it also indicated he wants to fulfill his contract with his current Swedish team which means he wouldn't play with the Kings until 2010-2011.

Anyone heard if this is true? Would be nice to get a guy in the draft that could fill in this year.
