C Miroslav Satan - HC Slovan Bratislava U20, SVK 20 (2024, 212th, WSH)

[MMC]

Welcome to Washington

 

[Antiillafire]

Miro Sr made the call. 1 Slovak is drafted. It’s a miracle

 

[Jee]

Devils with the blunder

 

[Mestaruus]

What's happening with Slovakian player drafting? I guess we just saw some kind of spike there in 2022-2023.

2024 - 1 player drafted
2023 - 8 players drafted
2022 - 6 players drafted - number includes Slafkovsky & Nemec
2021 - 1 player drafted
2020 - 2 players drafted

Other weird thing was that 0 Swedes were drafted in the first round.

We have known for years that 2024 would be deserted. 2025 will be a 4-5 Slovak year.

NJ passing on this kid was a mistake. was about to order a Satan NJ number 6 jersey

First player to be drafted out of Slovak junior league after a long time.

Correct me if I am wrong but he is also the first player drafted from Slovan Bratislava after L.Visnovsky that's 24 years gap.

To be honest I wasn't very impressed by him this year I thought M. Liscinsky was the better 2006 prospect in Slovakia.

But Satan Jr. has the crazy height and gives 100% energy in every shift I cant deny that so I can see some potential in 3-4 years when he fills out his body.

If his name wasn’t Miroslav Satan Jr., he probably wouldn’t have been a draft. But it is, so… Anyway, I didn’t really like Satan, but he’s still light years ahead of Liscinsky in terms of pro potential.

Will be interesting to see if that actually happens. I do like Pobezal, Tomik, Chovan, etc. but a lot can happen between now and then. They’ll have a lot to prove in their draft years.

It was similar in Germany. Got Seider, Stützle, Reichel, Peterka, Bokk, Lutz as legitimate prospects, then a weak 05 birth year only saw Bicker and Panocha picked and both late. Maksy Szuber was sprinkled in as an overager. But no real high-end talent or quantity anymore. Now the 2024 draft had zero Germans. Everyone’s hoping for the 07 group, which is looking a lot stronger, but we’ll see.

Miro Satan jr. talks about 2024 NHL Draft

 

[HoweFan]

This is the guy Eddie Jovaniski had ranked as a first rounder. I must admit he was on my list as a 5-6 rounder

 

[Antiillafire]

Will play for Chicago steel in ushl next season

I would argue Pekarcik, as he really didn’t “play” seriously in Nitra first team a lot.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Wonder what his NCAA plans are.

 

[Antiillafire]

Was already traded, now playing for Sioux falls. And looks like is playing 4th line. 2006 draft class…

 

[salwan]

Let's be real, the Caps probably looked at the name, saw his frame, and decided to roll the dice with a (very inconsequential) 7th-round pick. I wouldn't be surprised if Satan Sr. (possibly through Bondra) lobbied for his son.

I saw him play against the USNTDP and he was pretty bad. But, it was his first game in the USHL. You could tell, especially in the 1st and 2nd period, he was not processing the game quick enough. He was getting pushed around a lot that game as well despite his size.

Satan is surprisingly mobile for his size, but he will need a lot more development to become a professional athlete.
