Shocked he didn’t have a thread, has been Slovakia’s best player at the U18’s. Good size, a centre and good speed. Maybe a kid that’ll go high next year?

He has made a lot of progress this season. Can be Juraj Pekarcik vol. 2. Definitely one of probably five Slovaks for next year's draft. Next season he should play among men in Slovakia in Poprad. I really love his dynamic game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I like his game also. Don’t think he’s a first round pick, rounds 2-4 seem very possible.

Sioux City in the USHL selected him. Any chance he comes over?

My best guess is that he will stay in Slovakia at least for the upcoming season, which I think would be the best for him

I’ve heard he’s open to going over to North America, not yet decided if it’ll be USHL or CHL.

According to my information, it's highly likely he'll go the USHL route and then the NCAA. The CHL should no longer be an option for him, theoretically there's still a small chance they could give him a big role at home amongst the men, but I don't expect it.

He didn’t go to the Sioux City camp. Despite other international players being to their own teams camps (Benak being one of the major ones). Probably not much to it, but interesting to note.

He was just selected 4th overall by the Quebec Remparts in the CHL Import Draft. What kind of player is he?

 

[Antiillafire]

Quebec really struggled to score last year, I believe his role would be very large there. Serious odds he could go that route.

I highly doubt an organization like Quebec would waste a 4th overall pick on a player they aren't sure to sign. The rumours about him staying in Slovakia or going to USHL were probably just to make sure he'd be available at their spot.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He already confirmed he'll play for Quebec next season.

1 goal and 1 assist so far through 2 games. His goal was nice, on the powerplay. Will be interesting to see where his game is at by the time of late November. Potential dark horse for WJC roster

Really nice goal here. I believe he has the potential to be a Pekarcik like riser in the draft rankings

Yes, but he has to up his scoring. Under 1PPG in the Q is not going to be any more than a late round draft pick.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He is likely to be a mid-round draft pick, but his production is on the rise. He recorded 3 points in his first 3 games and none in the following 6. Since then, he has tallied 12 points in his last 12 games, including 8 in his last 6.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

1+1 again today so he’s up to 14 points in his last 13 games. 10 in his last 7.
