How did you reach this conclussion out of what I have written?
He literally was just drafted and was eligible for the first time to play in the CHL this year, but Red Bull denied him doing so, and he wouldn't have been drafted at such an early age if he had stayed in Slovakia.
What's your point, exactly? 1) He could have chosen some country other than Slovakia to begin with. 2) as a Slovak citizen he could have moved to almost any other country (Finland, Sweden, USA) if he wanted to play in the CHL. It was his decisions every step of the way.
He wants to further his development any way possible by playing against the highest competition he can?
If that was the most important thing wouldn't he have chosen Sweden, for example, and not Austria? There were obviously other factors at play, not only the competition level.
Unless he gets out of his RBA contract, he won’t be able to come over till next season
He’s playing on Red bulls u18 team which plays up in the u20 league. Obviously his stats are not going to be as impressive as last year which was a weaker league. It’s like when people are talking about Eduard Sale and Dom Pete’s numbers being down, the leagues both u16 and u20 are stronger then they were last year based on stats and on eye test alone. If u saw him at U18 tournament, you will not say that’s he’s not special.
Have you seen this guy? He has great hockey sense. He reminds me Reway very much. In last U18 tournament he made 7 points in 4 games and it was not such as low category tournament - Czechia, Finland, strong Germany (which won against Finns and Czechs) and Swiss.
I agree needs to add strength. he is very good 2 way forward, reminds me bit of David Krejci. Good puck skills as well, if he can transition to Qmjhl well next season I think his draft position could surprise some people.
ohh no, he suits better for center..
