Salzburg had an insane game they won 9-7. Myklukha had 3 points. An 18 year old on the team had 6 points!

Oleksii is heating up again, had 5 assists in today’s 6-2 win for Salzburg. Should have strong consideration to be drafted 1st overall in the CHL import draft

Uhhh he has 10 pts in last 4 games, after going I think 1 pt in previous 10 games. So he is in fact heating up, and to the point of secondary assists why are they of any less value? Or are they only of less value to you

He's a top prospect playing in a lesser league and his home country may not have a junior league that fits him. Of course he should be considered for the 1st pick in the CHL import draft.
The problem here is that the CHL import draft isn't based just on skill but rather if the player has already agreed to play for the team. If Myklukha says that he'll only play for Halifax then they have a great chance of getting him in the draft. They have a knack for getting top tier Europeans across.
I agree. He’s a good skater, although needs to be selfish more times. He’d fit well on a CHL team, Saint Johns?

Saint Johns should trade for Oliver Okuliar. He and Cajkovic did well on the same line on WCH U18 last year. Oleksii should go to another team.
This is a dumb argument. Can prospects such as jack studnicka, Peter Stratis, Simon Mack, Kalen Szeto, Cameron Tolnai please play for Slovakia than?

He not. He already played for Canada. Only if he come play to Slovakia for 2 years. Also Kevin Labanc.
Me and @Rusty7550 know that. But previous user was implying that players should play for their ethnicity. So myklukha should play for Ukraine not Slovakia since his ethnicity is Ukrainian. Than I listed players who have ethnic Slovak background and play for other nations so why can’t oleksii. In fact I think Ireland would have a pretty loaded team if we went by ethnicity (Crosby, McDavid, Mackinnon).
Having those players Slovakia could be competitive against top5 nations in few years

I don't understand why it's such a big deal when Oleksii himself personally declared to play for Slovakia

Can you really not tell the difference between some 4th generation Canadians and the guy who wasn't even born in the country he is going to represent?

A few C grade prospects would make Slovakia competitive with top 5 nations? Are you high?

OK, then what about Stan Mikita or Peter Stastny, who were born in Slovakia (or Czechoslovakia in that time..) but played for Canada? This is the same case

Well Mikita was an entirely different circumstance, he has hardly had a real choice. Regarding Stastny, yeah I don't like his decision just as well. Just because you can probably find countless examples of it doesn't make it good. And again, Stastny at least was born and grew up in NA. Meanwhile, Myklukha has chosen to represent the country which is stone-throw away from his original one simply because the former is better at hockey, as simple as. He has the right to do so, I have the right to not like it.
Ok, I accept your opinion, but according to the Oleksii's own words he would have no chance becoming a hockey player when he would stay in Ukraine. So I would say he wants to pay something back to Slovakia and also help himself
When talking about Stastny I meant Peter Stastny, not his son Paul Stastny
Who cares about generation, it’s all about ethnicity. Myklukha wasn’t even born in Ukraine for one thing, his parents are working immigrants there.
Bondras father was Slovak and his mother Polish and they turned back to Slovakia when Peter was 3.
That's actually not true - his family left Ukraine with hope to get other citizenship because of the war with Russia to prevend the loss of their son in case of a mobilization
So u want bondra to play for the non existent state of ruthenia ? Rusyns in Ukraine consider themselves to be ukrainia, rusyns in Slovakia consider themselves to be Slovak. How about no sorbians germany? Or no Suomi ever play for finland?
I'd be fine if Bondra had chosen to play for Team USA, that's his business. Nedvěd and Šťastný for Canada, no problem. The same goes for Myklukha, Ukrainian hockey program is garbage so it's natural that he wants to play for a better side when he has the opportunity. But those that develop problems shouldn't have double standards at least.
