Stanislav Svozil is likely to move from Kometa Brno to HC Verva Litvínov, according to a report by Hokej.cz cited in the source article. The transaction has not been officially announced. A move would open another place among Brno’s defencemen after the club recently agreed a separate exchange with Pardubice involving defenceman Jan Ščotka and forward Tomáš Vondráček.
Kometa had announced Svozil’s return in the summer and planned to build its reshaped defence around him. However, he was allowed to look for a new club in October. He played briefly in the third and fourth rounds of the season, but has not featured since. The article says unofficial reports cited his fitness and attitude as possible concerns, while also noting strong competition in defence.
Litvínov could benefit from adding quality to its squad, which the article says has been assembled under the strain of the club’s transfer to new owners. The club has also signed David Kämpf. Coach Robert Reichel may now get the chance to draw on the potential Svozil showed earlier in his career, but the reported transfer remains unconfirmed.
