The story of the 23-year-old shooter from Nitra is well known. After an excellent season in national competition, he was supposed to become a Seattle NHL reinforcement, but he gave up his fight for a spot surprisingly quickly. He didn’t want to go to the lower AHL and instead headed to Russia.
Few people understood the signing in Nizněkamsk, but Buček defended himself. “I was looking for a new sporting challenge that would take me to a higher level again. I am sorry that at the moment we are experiencing a difficult time, but I still chose KHL, which has been and will always be the main European competition”, he tried to justify. Buček.
In a country that started a war with Ukraine in the spring, the 23-year-old Slovak didn’t entertain audiences for long. He only played six games in Nižněkamsk, didn’t score and was sacked. “I was ready to give it my all, but sometimes things don’t go our way. I’m still young and I have everything ahead of me. I still have to wait for a fair chance in KHL. It was a good experience and I don’t regret my pace. “, Buček wrote on social networks.

Now, according to Slovak media, he is headed for Třinec. If the correction happens, it will be interesting to see how Tomáš Marcinko, for example, who has openly criticized the Slovak federation’s decision to allow Slovaks playing in the KHL to represent his compatriot, will be interesting to see. The seasoned striker, who has also played in the KHL in the past, is upset that the Slovaks are supporting the Putin regime, which is waging an unwarranted war against another country. “The union’s decision lacks a clear and direct expression of disapproval of Russia’s actions towards Ukraine,” Marcinko told Slovakian Denník N.
From a purely sporting point of view, a possible contract between Buček and Třinec is fine. But there is another opinion. Leaving aside the story of three years ago, when Buček changed his mind at the last minute about his commitment to Zlín, we have to ask another question. Is it good to offer a job to someone who voluntarily goes to earn money in a country that has attacked a neighboring country for no reason? They have to answer for themselves to Třinec. Slezana have not yet announced Buček as a reinforcement.
