No nice surprises with our NHL Czechs with Zboril being waived, Smejkal sent down, Zohorna waived and Blumel sent down. Rousek too!
However, Becher's play in the WHL is something I don't think any of us saw coming?!

That whole team is just killing it right now.
He's a guy who didn't really stand out to me in the couple PG games I saw last year, but then when I was looking at the numbers at the end of the year and he was a +31 on a team where the next forward was a +14 I felt like maybe I missed something. And apparently so.
It's hard to know how NHL teams will react to some of these OA guys. I really thought Michal Gut in 21-22 looked like a legit prospect - especially after he ripped up the WJCs as well - but he went undrafted and is now muddling along back in the Czech Republic.

He tested positive on... Becherovka!!!
Jokes appart, I was also (happily) suprised to see him at the top of the standings, even though I don't particularly watch the minor leagues...

If you asked me to rank the 10 Czechs in CHL who would be leading in scoring... he wasn't on my radar or list at all. What a nice surprise.

He’s been excellent this year. I know that line is scoring a ton of points but they are solid defensively as well . Becher has an awesome stick and is great at creating turnovers.

It will be difficult for a coach to ignore a player from the forefront of scoring in the WHL.

Did that say 35 points in 16 games? Amazingly, he's still not guaranteed to get redrafted.lol

This is his last year I think? But he may be signed in the summer as a free agent.
PG has a good history of OA signing deals so there may be interest in him even if doesn't get drafted.
He *should* get drafted this year.
He's not a really eye-catching player but he's a natural C with decent size, responsible two-way player, and his offensive IQ is outstanding. 10 points in 7 games at the WJC, would have easily cleared 100 points in the WHL this year without his time away at the WJCs.

He's probably not as consistent as he should be and that could be work ethic. It's my only guess because he consistently comes up with 3 to 4 point games. Including in the World Jr's.
He seems to be invisible and 0 points of 3 points and great. That's the worst thing I can say about him. Really curious how it ends for him career wise. I can't see him in CHL next year and hope he moves on to AHL or back to Europe (if not drafted).
Excluding a game where he got hurt early, he's only been held off the scoresheet twice since the start of December.

If he had scored at this rate the whole season (he had that red hot start too) he would have been the WHL leading scorer by a fair margin.

I think he should be allowed to include his 10 points in 7 games at the World Juniors!lol
I'm not sure what scouts didn't like but his offence is undeniable... given Stefan and Szturc got contracts.. I can't see how he doesn't IF he doesn't go in the redraft.
