Devils should draft him just for the storyline and jersey sales.
Finally a chance for The Devils to right a wrong
honestly.... who cares about the WJC. gold means nothing especially this year. let me know when the other teams rejoinYeah maybe if his dad pays off the franchise to draft him. But I think he should spend more time focusing on getting our wjc team to win games that matter and hiring competent coaches
Theo Kiss is not good enough for draft? Thats strange I have seen him in a 2nd round in some of the early predictions for the 2024 draft.Looks like he got some talent from his dad. But probably not enough for the draft. But he could be a great player and I see a late bloomer possibility there. It can be said that today he belongs to the imaginary top 10 Slovaks for next year's draft.
1.Chromiak (early to middle rounds)
2.Maruna (late rounds)
3.Pitka (late rounds)
---------------
4.Kiss
5.Prokopovic
6.Sobotka
7.Baran
8.Licko
9.Satan
10.Pohanka
However, as of today, only Chromiak and maybe Maruna/Pitka are realistic for the draft. The other guys are extremely far from the draft.

I like these kind of ratings, appreciate it. I´m on the same ship with you as for the assessment of Theo Kiss, Satan jr. and selection of these 10 names to this ranking.Looks like he got some talent from his dad.

Of course I meant as of today. A lot can change in a year. I like both Sobotka and Prokopovic and their draft stock is on the rise. I can imagine that in the spring of 2024 both or at least one of them will realistically be considered as prospects for the draft, but as of today I can't say that yet. But it will certainly be interesting to watch. These taller guys, along with Satan, are outperforming (or have already outperformed) other 06 guys like Lass, Kovac, Silhar, Tomasec, Liscinsky etc. in which we had higher hopes in the past. It happens that taller guys need more time to develop and even if these guys aren't drafted, they can become skilled late bloomers, similar to Pavel Regenda and Milos Kelemen as we see today. Time will tell. But I agree with you that these two guys have looked more than good in recent months.I like these kind of ratings, appreciate it.

But... "the other guys are extremely far from the draft" - no, I don´t think so. Especially big guys on positions 5 and 6 are closer than you think and you underestimate them if you think this. I would bet my money that at least one of them will be drafted in 2024.
Absolutely. Those named players who looked quite promising in the past disappointed and have almost zero chance to be drafted or succeed on the next level. On the other side, 2024 draft from Slovak perspective maybe won´t be that successful on a draft day but I see there several potential late bloomers/good players for NT for the future, we´ll see.Of course I meant as of today.

You are probably right and he only has 15 shots on goalie in 6 games so staying at 1,67 pts per game is unlikely.Probably not. I very much doubt it. Slovak junior league is defacto on amateur level and really interesting for this season are there only underagers of birth year 2007 and 2008. Satan would need a really special U18 World Championship and some part of the season on the man level, to be at least a theoretical chance. As far as the U18 World Championship is concerned, Satan is probably not one of the forwards that come into consideration.
The son of the beast! Where is Constantine when we need him!Finally a chance for The Devils to right a wrong
Central Scouting ranks him 50th in their Mid-term International Skater ranking list ...means probably not taken in first 150 on the draft board ...means maybe some team might risk on him 5th-7th rounds?
But his skating looks slow and awkward from the video clip above.
Name and size might help! Do it devils!He is a big monster, 201 cm high (6'7"). Its possible he grew another cm... This guy will never have flashy skating abilities.
Looking forward to WCH U18. What will he show there.
Draft for now i dont see much realistic. But who knows? He could be some wild pick in 7th round.
It is actually a tradition in the Slavic countries. The 1st son takes the name of the dad. So it is. My great grandpa is called Milan, my grandpa is called Milan, my dad is called Milan, guess whats the name of my older brother?...Seriously? I hate it when parents give their kids the exact same name. Where the f*** is the stupid .Jr at the end
You're either called Jayson or Keven bro, chill the f outSeriously? I hate it when parents give their kids the exact same name. Where the f*** is the stupid .Jr at the end
