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

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.We have known for years that 2024 would be deserted. 2025 will be a 4-5 Slovak year.
I would argue Pekarcik, as he really didn’t “play” seriously in Nitra first team a lot.First player to be drafted out of Slovak junior league after a long time.

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.Was already traded, now playing for Sioux falls. And looks like is playing 4th line. 2006 draft class…
3 points in 11 games. Will he be called to the WJC team? I don’t think he deserves it but…
