F Miroslav Holinka - Edmonton Oil Kings, WHL (2024, 151st, TOR)

[RoadWarrior]

I think it was mentioned he did well against his peers but wasn't as great against men which makes sense, he's not considered a top prospect.

I think WHL could be good for him, Leafs need centres, Czechia is producing more talent these days and if he works out to be a middle 6 guy with a good 2-way game, what's not to like?

He played well against men with very limited ice time at the tail end of the season. Had he been given more opportunity he likely would’ve been rated more highly. This is why some Russian players fall in the draft as their KHL coaches sit them on the bench most of the time.

The team has been pretty bad at this summer tourney but holinka has been pretty good. Had a great development camp and now this... Arrows up for now.

Joe Iglina and Blake fiddler are 2 excellent young prospects to watch for and they have some good returning NHL draft picks.

They will be must viewing for scouts next year, some really good talent to watch.

Love that he has Jecho there already to help him aclimitize! I feel he's a riser. Think he'll have a great season and a nice WJC at Xmas.

Slower start than I was hoping but picking up some steam!
