Slovakia's 2023 harvest looks very promising.
I hope to see all these kids together in an international tournament.
some of them will be at the HGC this summer with promising group of 2004 born players like Slaf, Nemec, Mesar, Elias etc.

Maybe some of them could make it to the U18 WJC this year?
 
They would still be double underagers (except Ciernik), so probably no chance. Plus Slovakia is relegated to lower division WJC which has been canceled for this year.
Molnar is playing really good for Team Slovakia in the second tier men's league. Definitely Top 3 (if not the best) player on that team. Feneš would give him a chance. And after him, maybe Dvorsky. Hlinka-Gretzky cup should be fun. Maybe we can finally beat some team from TOP 5. We were pretty close last time with our 2002s.
 
What would your lines look like?
it is still more than half a year... but in my opinion, it could be something like this

Ciernik (late 2004) - Dvorsky (2005) - Slafkovsky (2004)
Molnar (2005) - Petrovsky (2004) - Mesar (2004)
Sisik (2005) - Gabriel (2004) - Sykora (2004)
Zlnka (2004) - Repcik (2004) - Sotek (2004)

HM: Ridzon (2005), Misiak (late 2004), Zold (late 2004), Honzek (late 2004), Jencko (2005), Suchy (2004), Bartakovics (2004)

so yes, there could be enough interesting players in this team for draft 2023, and that team should also be able to compete for the world's top 5

I thought that way:

Slafkovsky-Petrovsky-Ciernik
Molnar-Gabriel-Mesar
Sykora-Dvorsky-Sokoli
Ridzon-Repcik-Sotek
Sisik

Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing what this group will be able to do against the top five. Because it is really a talented group.

Sokoli is late 2003 he can no longer play in HGC. Anyway, there is a lot of talent, and there are more combinations possible, something similar to what you wrote could be nice.

I’m not Slovak and not so emotionally involved, but I think Sisik is mile above Ciernik.
Has anyone of you guys seen Ciernik playing in Södertälje?

I think Sisik will be at HGC this summer. I also think that Sisik is more talented than Ciernik. He lacks physical parameters and strength, and I think it will be his biggest deficit toward the NHL. He is currently about 173 cm / 5'8" and at the time of the draft he will have around 175cm / 5'9". I will be surprised if he has more, his father is also 175cm tall.

Sorry, but this is so unrealistic or it is made just for some private purpose.

First of all, if you want to attach such a statistic, where are the players from U16 Div 1 Stockholm, which is equivalent to yours U16 Elite, but under different name. Picture would be totally different, because players from Djurgården, Täby, AIK or FIK would be on the top.
Second thing, you have so many U16 players, who are playing for J18, which means they don’t play for U16 or maybe only game or two against strong teams, so you can’t compare it ( Otto Stenberg for instance ). Some players are scoring 5 or more points against weaker teams, but then they can’t score against stronger U16 teams or in J18. Show me one player on your list from Djurgården, Täby or AIK and yet they won TV Pucken this season!
I think much more realistic pictures are strong tournaments like TV Pucken, Djurgården Elite Cup, U16 SM.... where strongest teams are playing against each other or PPG in J18Region.
