D Radim Mrtka - Seattle Thunderbirds, WHL (Draft 2025)

[Czechboy]

6'6", skates well, right-handed, handles the puck well, solid IQ. I wouldn't be shocked if he went top-10 simply because solid RHD with size are extremely rare. Reinbacher-lite.

That's what I am thinking too... his combo of traits is very desirable. Someone will want that.

Isn’t Reinbacher like 6’2?

What? I don´t undestand how can he be Reinbacher-lite if he is much bigger and has more offensive upside than Reinbacher?

Would like to see his ice time. I think he was out there every second shift against Tri city on Friday.

He is very relied upon. When you watch Seattle, he’s clearly their number one D. He plays in all situations and is a horse out there.

He’s risen up my rankings a ton since joining Seattle

Which is great because sometimes promising Czechs come over and really flounder when they hit CHL. Sale is a great example. Mrtka has hit the ground running!
