I hope he gets some powerplay time, he definitely deserves it over many overaged bums in lineup! He is fantastic!

I'm not a good English speaker. But I will try to explain it simply. In Czech it's Šalé. So there is a so-called long é at the end, so phonetically it is pronounced a little longer than a regular e. So something like Sha-le.e. I put the dot there for the reason that it would not be tempting to pronounce ee like in the word cheeses. Just more like two separate e's in a row..

This statement was stupid. Sale was already seen as an elite talent at this point.
On the other hand, until the 2020/21 season, Dominik Petr was seen as better than him.

They also signed Tomi Sallinen yesterday. Probably has little to do with why Sale isn't playing today but his competition for possible PP time and such got even stiffer.

I don't mind #2 for Sale. I'm a big fan and he'll probably be in my top 5 when it's all said and done come June. I didn't care for the McKenzie ranking at all.
Reminds me a lot of Matt Boldy and I was a huge fan of Boldy in his draft year. Size, skill, and IQ are all excellent and skating is fine. That's a pretty rare combination. At worst he's an excellent complimentary piece who makes his linemates better, and can very well end up as a driver on a top line himself.

If that is the reason, then Kometa staff sucks, but everybody knows that anyway lol.

Frankly, I once again don't at all understand why so many people have their panties in a twist about Sale's handling.
Michkov isn't playing at all, Dvorsky played a few games as 3C, was -3 and got sent down to the kids' league, Halttunen is 7th D for HIFK, Leo Carlsson is playing 13-14 minutes as a D and just got scratched last game. But somehow it's Kometa's staff that sucks...
Comparatively, he is in one of the best if not THE best situations for a 2023 draftee in Europe. Get a grip people, this is real life, not a farming simulator.
And stop acting like dominating the CHL actually does something for top prospect's dEVel0pMeNT. We've seen plenty of that with Lafrenieres, Byfields and Turcottes of this world. It's good for covering up their actual flaws due to playing him against vastly inferior competition.

Leo Carlsson a D? Scratched? What?

Yeah nevermind that part, it's like the pileup of mix-ups. The point still stands though.

Also, Michkov has been hurt and isn't playing. He started in the VHL today.

He started in the KHL 3 days ago and was on the ice for literally 2 minutes. And then got sent down. More importantly, even THAT is fairly usual for a Russian prospect.
Leo Carlsson with another 12-minute game but at least he's not a defenseman. Now I know how Steve Dangle felt when he called Nick Robertson one.

Good news.. he's playing.
Bad news.. no special teams. Bottom 4 minutes. Kometa is going to plummet his ranking. Just amazing work!

It's the 7th round and his minutes have gradually decreased... he's not touched a special team in 5 games. It's possible his minutes go up and he gets real opportunity on the PP but I'm getting pretty skeptical.

Here are his last 5 games... top being the most recent. Under 13 minutes and no special teams after 7 rounds.
He missed round 6 and I'm starting to think that was a healthy scratch as I haven't heard a different reason.
This is not how you develop a top 5 draft pick.
Good thing he is not a top 5 draft pick then.
His TOI is actually solid, it's just that he gets no PP time. I don't understand it, with Sale being a clearly offense first player. Even more so when I see what literal plugs do get special team ice time. Infuriating to say the least.
