Scouting Report
"He's not afraid to get his nose into the danger areas to make plays and score goals. I think he fits in real well with the direction we're going with our team. Like all these other guys, he just needs a little more experience at higher-level situations." (Predators General Manager David Poile) Orszagh should continue to be a key component to the Predators attack in 2002-03. Has excellent shiftiness and puck-handling ability. Plays with a sound work ethic and passion for the game. Isn't big and can be prone to injury, since he likes to play in traffic. Has defensive concerns. Orszagh is another one that got away from the New York Islanders. The smooth Slovakian winger is quickly becoming a major player on the Predators roster. (TSN.ca)
