I would think CHL is most likely.

As for his game, there are quite a few positives that stand out when watching Holinka. He is a solid puck handler when skating at top speed and understands where he needs to be positionally in both the offensive and defensive zones. Holinka is also a player who isn't afraid to drive the net, often creating second-chance opportunities for his teammates if he does not score.

Up next for Holinka will be proving he can produce at the pro level. As mentioned, he did see time in Czechia's top division but only had three points in 16 games while rarely cracking ten minutes of ice time. There is no doubt he is a very skilled player, but he needs to take that next step if he wants to continue his development and make an impact in North America.

The write up sounds very positive. Almost picturing Ilya Mikheyev.

Think this kid could come over in the CHL import draft?

Believe I heard Wes Clark say they expect him to come to NA next year. May be my favourite pick of the bunch.

RHC with a motor. I like it.
Be great if he came over.

Toronto has picked 151st overall 3 times in their history, most recently selecting Vaclav Zavoral in 1999.

I still have his jersey.

David Kampf replacement

He’s got more offense than Kampf. More likely to be a middle six player.
