Marek Zagrapan (born 6 December 1986) is a Slovak professional ice hockey centre.

He was drafted by the National Hockey League (NHL)'s Buffalo Sabres in the first round, 13th overall, at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Zagrapan was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the first round, 13th overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. After playing two seasons in the Czech Extraliga with HC Zlín, Zagrapan came to North America after HC Zlín became Czech champions in 2004. He then played two seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens.

On 12 September 2006, Zagrapan signed an entry-level contract with Buffalo and spent the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons with their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rochester Americans.{{cite web|url=http://sabres.nhl.com/team/app?articleid=307107&page=NewsPage&service=page|title=Zagrapan, Ryan, Thorburn and Novotny signed|publisher=sabres.nhl.com|date=2006-09-12|accessdate=2009-06-02|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001083115/http://sabres.nhl.com/team/app?articleid=307107&page=NewsPage&service=page|archivedate=1 October 2011|df=dmy-all}} Zagrapan then spent the 2008–09 season with the new affiliate of the Sabres, the Portland Pirates.

On 29 May 2009, Zagrapan returned to Europe to play professionally, citing a lack of opportunity with the Sabres due to his low scoring output; he signed with Severstal Cherepovets of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) on a three-year contract.{{cite web |url=http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/story/11812805|title=Former Sabres first-round pick Zagrapan signs deal to play in Russia | publisher =cbssports.com | date = 2009-06-02 | accessdate = 2009-06-02}}

In the 2014–15 season, Zagrapan joined Austrian club Graz 99ers of the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL) on an initial try-out contract on 20 September 2014.{{cite web| url = http://www.erstebankliga.at/de/news/detail/2014/09/20/99ers_reisen_mit_guten_erinnerungen_nach_villach | title = 99ers travel with good memories of Villach | publisher = Erste Bank Eishockey Liga | date = 2014-09-20 | accessdate = 2014-09-20 | language = German}} Zagrapan impressed with Graz to earn a one-year contract for the remainder of the campaign. In 51 games with the club, he produced 9 goals and 30 points.

On 13 July 2015, Zagrapan left Graz as a free agent for League rivals Dornbirner EC.{{cite web| url = https://www.facebook.com/DECBulldogs/photos/a.486982017998045.123737.483156685047245/1072713942758180/?type=1 | title = Dornbirner add four to squad | publisher = Dornbirner EC | date = 2015-07-13 | accessdate = 2015-07-13}}
