So not drafted or just nor first round? We got another Galvas/Zetterberg on our hands?
D Tomáš Galvas - HC Olomouc U20, Czech U20 (2024 Draft)
- Thread starter Voodoozz
- Start date
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
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.www.nytimes.com
Zetterberg was another shock to me.. 5'7.
Entire top 5 is 6 feet or less.

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.

I can’t even keep track of which or you guys liked Galvas a lot and which didn’t, but I’ve found this feud over the past year hilarious. Pages and pages worth of posts I start reading and then stop after about 10 words. When I saw he didn’t get drafted, I knew this thread would be lit.
I thought he should’ve gotten drafted, but 5’10 and in the 150’s. Very easy to understand why teams didn’t like his physique enough to draft him. He’s not like a Lane Hutson talent on defense, so the height and weight at the combine likely did in his chances of being drafted.

What I really didn't understand was that she still doesn't even weigh 70 kg. That certainly played a role in him not being drafted in the end. I have no idea what plan they have for his further physical development, but it is clear that he needs to gain more kilograms, at least ten.

I’ve been wrong before. I’m still shocked Ruben Rafkin didn’t get drafted and hasn’t been signed by an NHL club. Reminds me of that a little.
How could such a player be missed in the draft?
He made a significant contribution to the victory of the Czech team in the decisive game and in the entire tournament.

Shame Liberec is just terrible this season, so he is not doing a lot of points. But I also still think that him not being drafted was completely ridiculous.

I agree with this... And the proof is obvious. Ales Cech got drafted and Galvas didn't.
Cech is a physical player with some size. When they are on the same team playing teenagers it is obvious Galvas is much better. But his frame doesn't project into NHL.
I do think he'll stand out at Xmas at the WJC though but. For his peer group he is excellent. For future 25 year old NHL players.. not looking the best. Hajek and Zboril are big boys who can skate.. barely got a sniff.
Same for Benak.. he's alwasy carrying the team and our best player... his teamates will go before him (if he goes at all)
