"Made a lot of noise in his first season in North America with Hampton Roads of the ECHL. Lasak is very acrobatic and has very quick reflexes. He will be the No. 1 guy in Milwaukee this season but, like Finley, his development will not be rushed." (The Sports Forecaster 2000-01, p. 156)
"Lasak is a supremely confident,dynamic, athletic netminder who has played about half of Milwaukee's games this season. Nashville likes his enthusiasm and his talent, but they want him to do a better job of controlling rebounds and adding consistency to his flamboyant style. Lasak is just finishing his second season in North America, so he is still learning the nuances of playing the angles and the puck on the smaller ice surface." (David Legwold, The Hockey News Future Watch 2001)
"The acrobatic Slovak gets far less publicity than Finley. However, he too is an excellent NHL goaltending prospect. Lasak has adapted to North America well, first doing admirably in the ECHL in his first season and then moving on and impressing in the now defunct IHL. Lasak has tremendous raw ability and reflexes and is still developing his game. The Predators are confident that they are set in net for years to come with Finley and Lasak in the fold." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 162)
"He's an unorthodox goalie who made huge strides in the previous two years and has continued that trend this season, his second with Milwaukee. A knee injury caused him to miss a quarter of the season, but he immediately assumed the role of that team's top goaltender when he returned, then was tabbed as Slovakia's goalie for the Olympics. He has an aggressive style that [Nashville GM David] Poile considers "exciting," and he makes key saves. He still needs to display more consistency." (David Boclair, The Hockey News Future Watch 2002)
"Lasak had a strong year in Milwaukee, posting a 2.39 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage to lead the Admirals. He also led Slovakia to gold at the world championships, where he posted a 2.28 GAA and .921 save percentage. Lasak may have passed Finley as the organization's goaltender of the future and is closer to stepping into the NHL." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 156)
