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

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

I still have his jersey.
He’s got more offense than Kampf. More likely to be a middle six player.
drafted by Edmonton in the CHL import draft.

Last year Oil King drafted: Adam Jecho - Stats, Contract, Salary & More
Played 54 games and was drafted by St. Louis this year.
Can only have 2 imports, so hopefully they have an opening for him this year.

Clark said it was likely Holinka came to NA next year to play Junior. His rights belong to Waterloo in the USHL and now the Oil Kings in the WHL.
I'd be shocked if he didn't go to the WHL to play next year.

Toronto Maple Leafs' prospect Miroslav Holinka was selected by the team in the 5th round of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and, surprisingly, he's already heading to North America.
Holinka was selected by the Maple Leafs in the 5th round of the 2024 NHL Draft after spending the last 3 seasons within the pipeline of HC Ocelari Trinec in Czechia's top men's league. He scored 20 goals and 41 points in 29 games for the U20 club and added another goal and 2 assists in 16 games for the professional team in the Czech Extraliga this past season.
The 6'1, 190 pound centre was just recently selected by the Edmonton Oil Kings with the 14th pick in the CHL Import Draft, according to Scott Wheeler of The Athletic. The expectation is that Holinka will move from his native Czechia to Edmonton to play for the Oil Kings in 2024-25.

The more I read the more I really like this pick
Seems like he has a strong two way game and is tenacious. I like his size with the attributes. Also appears to have some raw offensive talent.

This guy shouldn't have dropped to 5th round. He may be our 2nd line C in 2/3 years.More upside than Minten.

The boom potential is really there and god damn how refreshing is it to think about a centre option?
While 2 / 3 years is probably optimistic, it is very encouraging to see a 5th rounder with this much potential.
One of the steals of the draft. The kid has velvet hands and look very advanced for his age.

This kid isn’t going to bomb. I think he will dominate juniors in the WHL.
He is playing with men now. 3 years is max. He may easily put on 10 lbs by then. Better pick than Minten.

nice to be optimistic, but Minten might develop into a modern version of Darryl Sittler, he is that good!

Minten has been developing under the Leafs watch for about 4 or 5 years and still hasn't become that goal scoring center they need behind Matthews.
I'd say at this poin... oh 2 years?
Seems like forever.
He just turned 20 last week, so he is no longer a teenager.
I think 3rd. line center would be fine, 4th. line a missed opportunity, anything top 6 a homerun.
...
So is Holik playing this year in WHL, for sure?
It sounds like it, but wasn't sure he plans weren't for next year.
If he's playing against men, is playing against boys beneficial?
Perhaps getting used to the smaller ice is more important?
