Didn't see a thread for him yet. Was just ranked #11 European skater in CSS final rankings.

Born 10 days before the cut off for the 2018 draft, he played 38 games with HC Zlin this year in the Extraliiga with a statline of 4-4-8.



What do you guys know about him?
 
Definitely a fan of this kid. Wonder how high he'll go. Should be a 2nd rounder, but might fall to the 3rd.
 
A good bet to go in the top 40..if he has a good U-18 he'll go in the first.

Are scouts high on him? I could see a guy like Chytil going under the radar, playing in the Czech league and all.

Also, hear anything about Kvasnicka?

He was great in the Ivan Hlinka, and two U-18 tournaments seen by tons of scouts..not going under the radar at all. We're all looking forward to one last hard look at him this next week.

Kvasnicka will likely go 4th round on. Just a bit too small. Skill is decent but for his size needs to be elite.
 
Looks like he made huge progress since Hlinka. He was good there, but nothing outstanding. Today against Belarus he really stood out. Hopefully he continues to do so in upcoming games against better opponents.
 
He was all over Belarus today. Stole pucks, won draws, drew penalties on top of the 3 points. Really interested to see how he does against the better teams.

I guess this is what can happen when a team is willing to give young talented player a chance and is patient with him. Zlin did a good job with him IMO.
 
Predicting this guy to be the steal of this draft if he goes >1st round. If Necas is about to go around 10th spot, then this guy should go in the top 20 no question. 8months younger than Necas and he was more impressive in the u18.

This has been called a weak draft but I feel there are alot of underated Europeans who can emerge and become good NHL players. Then in a redraft people will be saying they should have went top 3 , top 5, top 10. Players like Chytil, Ikonen, Boqvist, Sveningsson I believe have this kind of potential imo.
 
Drafted Chytil 44th overall to the Flyers in our boards Mock Draft. Feeling pretty good about that pick!

:nod:
 
Starting to think he'll be a 1st rounder. Went through some footage from the U18's, I really like him. Impressed me in every tournament I've seen him in so far.
 
The central scouting list and EliteP had him at 6'0" 179lbs, but the combine measures and weight him at 6'3.5" and 191.66 pounds, thats a big jump!

No way he is that big. I believe on the revised version of combine measures he is something like 6'1" - 6'2", which is more like it. Still decent frame though.

Agree, lots of underrated europeans in this draft. Which sounds funny to say because there's so many highly rated europeans in this draft too. Just an all around strong euro draft it seems.
