After three seasons in the QMJHL, forward Pavel Simek has decided to return home to Czechia to sign with Mountfield HK of the Czech Extraliga for the 2025-26 season.

Just a few days after Drummondville's goaltender Riley Mercer signed with the AHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, the Montreal Canadiens' system have plucked a player of their own from the QMJHL.

The 20-year-old forward is coming off of a 25-point (10+15) season across 52 games between the Rimouski Océanic and the Charlottetown Islanders.

Foregoing his overage season, this effectively wraps up Simek's three season major junior career -- amassing 92 points (40+52) over 192 games between the Saint John Sea Dogs, Océanic and Islanders.

This move leaves the Islanders with likely one sole import should they look to bring back 17-year-old Russian defenseman Nikita Voyaga (6 in 46).

The former seventh overall pick in the 2021 OHL draft Zakary Lavoie has committed to Acadia University for the 2025-26 season.
