D Tomáš Galvas - HC Olomouc U20, Czech U20 (2024 Draft)

[Czechboy]

Until last year we could hope for a Cole Caufield profile because he stood out from the crowd in terms of level of play but he made too little progress in 2023/24. Frankly, I'm not counting on him for 2025. I never thought about putting his name in my first top 32. Tomas Poletin seems to be far ahead of him in the hierarchy. Radim Mrtka for defenders and Matej Tulacek for goalkeepers have the best profile.

So not drafted or just nor first round? We got another Galvas/Zetterberg on our hands?

Wheeler's top 14 undrafted players following the 2024 NHL Draft

These 14 players are worth teams considering for development camp invites/contracts or keeping a close eye on next season.

Zetterberg was another shock to me.. 5'7.

Entire top 5 is 6 feet or less.

we have entered another Big Boy Decade (BBD) - team's arent drafting small guys that have a low probability of making an impact, can't teach size

Round 1 : 0%
Undrafted : 50%

The profile of undrafted guys who are currently having careers in the NHL is mainly players who had a very limited level at 18 years old but had great athletic qualities.
