A guy who can be drafted. On a Czech scale, this is not nothing because we are looking for it for 2025. Until then, I only had Benak in mind.

Really? Feels like we have a few good years coming up of players that should be drafter and our round 1 streak seems to be safe.

We will already have to see if the streak will hold in 2024. With Jiricek's injury and bad season, the chances have dropped. 2025 is still insufficient to be sure. Benak can slide very low with his size and his season is disappointing.

I wouldn´t mind, hope we are going to have czech version of Brayden Point on our hands, he still has 4 years to grow, he´s just 16 also he is not weak against adult players so i am not overly concerned.

Was very impressed tonight by this giant. So many tools. And he could probably still grow a bit, he turned 17 in June.
Yeah, he's a good skater, has a good motor, plays with high pace on both ends of the ice, and likes having the puck on his stick. Should be a fun player to watch this upcoming year.

He was very good against Canada in final. Should be a first rounder. May make xmas world Juniors as a 7/8 this year.

Yeah, he had a good Hlinka. I think he’ll be the first Czech drafted this year. I have little doubt. Hard to see him not being a first rounder.

I like this kid. He’s got solid tools, obviously plays with ton of confidence and he’s a real bully out there.

Right handed D with that kind of size, and watching him he moves like a pro. The upside seems too tantalizing to last outside the top 20

Not sure if I've simply watched the wrong game, but he was disappointing in my most recent viewing. His skating did not seem as good as I expected, he had issues in the neutral zone, and created a few turnovers in his own zone.
Is this something you guys have seen or was it just a bad game?

In general, the Czech extra league is too demanding for such young players. You saw well. Mrtka unfortunately had big problems in the game and it wasn't just one match.
And also, unfortunately, again a fatal mistake in the match, which cost the team points. Unfortunately, there are too many mistakes and he will most likely leave for the CHL within a month.
I am also a bit skeptical about him going in first round. At the same time he is 17, playing a very hard league, young players make mistakes.
Who on other hand is becoming more and more interesting is Cihar. Settled himself in Vary first line and getting a lot of minutes. Event started to pay back the trust with some points in last games.
Idk could he be a potential 1st round suprise for us for this draft?
Čihař played well yesterday as well, which is what I noticed. It's much more complicated live than on TV, at least for me for sure. His stock is definitely rising, but I'm not sure if that will be enough for him to attack the first round, maybe he wasn't that big of a player at HGC. He should have an extremely successful rest of the season.
