Looks like lots of talent going to be there at 50. Hope Petan/Erne gets taken before then so I'm not heartbroken when the Pens pass for PMD.

Book ‘Em, Dano!
Dano is an Austrian born Slovakian forward who is an interesting study for this draft class.
He first impressed me at the 2012 World Juniors in Calgary as the youngest player on the Slovakian squad as a spark-plug player who initiated play and showed creativity in somewhat limited duty. As planned, he was a leader of the Slovakian 2013 WJCs entry and impressed with 9 points in 6 games.
The 5’11″ forward is an energetic and very good skater although NHL Central Scouting’s Goran Stubb has stated he could use work on his skating and first step acceleration. We’ll have to agree to disagree on this aspect of Dano’s game as I see him as a powerful skater with good speed and get up and go ability.
What has allowed Dano to succeed in the Slovakian Men’s league 2 seasons ago and in the KHL this past season is his high level hockey sense and above average vision. He’s a smart player who reads the game well. He is a very aware and responsible player all over the rink.
Dano plays an in your face up-tempo game and is that agitating, gritty but skilled forward that every NHL team covets these days. He plays a physical game and is very strong for his size – his performance at the Scouting Combine proved that.
Dano doubles as an effective playmaker and finisher. He also possesses a good set of mits, as they say, with deft puckhandling ability. He also has great hockey genes as his father Jozef played professionally in Europe for 19 years and is current assistant coach with Dukla Trencin in the Slovakian Men’s top league. While the younger Dano likes Jaromir Jagr as a player, the reason he wears jersey #68 in club play is because that was his father’s number, as he explained to me through a translator in Calgary in 2012.
Who’s going to step up to the podium in Newark and say: “Book ‘em Dano”?
Where He’ll Land in June:
He was ranked 54th overall in The Next Ones Final Top 210 Rankings and could possibly go anywhere from 40 to 60.
Scout’s Honour:
“His hockey sense is what impresses everybody. He seems to think at a level that is uncommon for players that age. He’s skilled, but nothing that really stands out above other players in that regard. But he has the ability to find open ice and make smart plays. That’s what’s given him the ability to compete in a pro league at such a young age (17). The reason scouts are excited about him is they figure he will still mature physically and if he can improve the skills he has, he could turn out to be a great player.”
- Derek O’Brien of Czech Hockey Report at Puckwords.com

“He has a lot offensive skills, most notably his hockey sense and his good hands. He is a very aware player, capable of top-end distributions. He tends to make quick decisions, and is an agile player, with powerful, all-around bursts. One scout described him as a slippery skater because of his agility and creativity with the puck. He has an above-average top gear. He will show some physical effort, but he is a smaller player at 5’11″, and he projects as fringe in the physical areas at the NHL level. He will need to build up his strength. -

A Banksy of Goonism
Hockey Writers get Klimchuked:
When looking at young hockey players, more often than not, the headlines and the eyeballs are attracted to the flashy. While the MacKinnons and Drouins of the world are getting attention for highlight-reel goals and exciting players, there are players like Morgan Klimchuk quietly accumulating very strong draft-eligible campaigns.
A native of Calgary, Alberta, Klimchuk has followed up on a solid rookie campaign last season (where he put up 36 points in 67 games for Regina) with a quietly excellent year as an 18-year-old. This season, Klimchuk amassed 76 points in 72 games, including scoring as many goals this season (36) as he had points last season.
The key to Klimchuk’s success has been his consistency, both between situations and between games. He’s had 44 games with at least one point. He’s been held off the score-sheet for 28 games, but if you ignore a pair of four-game scoreless droughts, he’s never gone cold for very long. He’s been dynamite for Regina’s power-play, scoring 14 of the team’s 58 power-play markers. He’s scored four game-winners and also added a short-handed goal.
Klimchuk is a smart positional hockey player on both sides of the puck. He’s a savvy skater in the offensive end, but he’s very underrated in his own zone. In situations when the Pats are hemmed into their own zone by the opposition – and that has happened a lot this season – Klimchuk is adept at reading the play and intercepting passes to the point to clear the zone. He doesn’t have break-neck, high-end speed in terms of his skating, but he has smooth acceleration and gets up to speed quickly. He never really looks like he’s exerting a lot of energy on the ice, but he’s almost always in the right spot when he needs to be. He is also smart with the puck, boasting crisp passing and a very accurate shot. His main areas to work on appear to be mental; he’s had a pair of five-point explosions this season, but followed them up with flat performances in the following games. To round out his game, he needs to even things out. He’s already minimized the impact a bad performance will have, but he needs to do the same for his good ones, too.
Another potential detriment for the draft stock of Morgan Klimchuk may be the performance of his team, the Regina Pats. The Pats finished well outside of the Western Hockey League playoffs and earned just 41% of the points available to them. Thus, scouts likely saw Klimchuk fighting his way up-hill in most of their viewings. Along with overage teammate Lane Scheidl, Klimchuk is one of the two best players on his team. Unfortunately, the Pats are in the midst of a rebuilding cycle and don’t really have a lot of players to complement these two players this season. That said, the fact that the Pats don’t have well-stocked cupboards meant that Klimchuk got a chance to carry the mail this season, playing big minutes in every situation and – mostly – thriving. If he was an Edmonton Oil King or Portland Winterhawk, Klimchuk may have won more games (and gotten a chance at the playoffs) but probably wouldn’t have been as crucial to his team’s success.
Scout’s Honour:
“The biggest improvement Klimchuk has made from last season is his willingness to go to the net and put away rebounds. He goes into the dirty areas in the ice and takes the punishment to try and score goals from in tight. Klimchuk needs to work on his defensive game, particularly his awareness without the puck to have more impact in games.” – Michelle Sturino, HockeyProspect.com
