February 8, 2024 by Sam Henes
The New York Rangers selected Adam Sýkora with the 63rd overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. He was chosen from HK Nitra, where he accumulated 17 points across 46 games during his draft year in the Slovak Extraliga. As one of the youngest players in that year’s draft – his birthday being merely eight days shy of the Sept. 15 cut-off – had he been born after the cut-off, he likely could have been a first-round pick in 2023.
In his draft plus one season, Sýkora improved his performance by securing 25 points in the subsequent season with Nitra. At the end of last season, he transitioned to the American Hockey League (AHL), joining the Hartford Wolf Pack, posting one point in four playoff games.
