F Peter Repcik - Team Slovakia U18 (2022 Draft)

Peter really surprises me this season. He can establish himself among men, yes it is only a lower Slovak men's league, but that league is certainly not worse than the best junior leagues. Pretty strong center, decent bully. He has very good edgework and agility. He also works hard. He needs to strengthen. I have no idea if he will pass the draft, but he has made good progress in the last six months and if he continues to progress, he could go in the lower rounds (5.-7.)
 
Does Repcik go to the WHL? I'm in Canada and I heard that. If he makes a good season...
I’m not sure, I think it would be great option that helps take his skills to next level. He’s got the skating, hustle, and physical play to be a good player in the WHL. Also helps that he seems to be a very hard worker

So Peter goes to the WHL.

17-year-old Peter Repčík, is also full of expectations.

"I watched the draft during dinner with my girlfriend and in the end I lost hope and I turned it off. But then they called me that they drafted me and I was happy," the forward, chosen by the Lethbridge Hurricanes from the WHL, described the draft moments. "I will definitely try it and see what it will be. It's definitely a career challenge and I'm preparing very honestly. "
 
Thinking now about how our U18 team will be weakened next season. Repcik, Petrovsky, Zlnka are going overseas and Slaf with Nemec and Mesar will apparently play for our U20 team.

Only 2 U18 tournaments matters. Hlinka- Gretzky cup and IIHF Div.1 WC. We should be in full strength at Hlinka and we should win U18 WC even if we miss some key player/s because of playoffs.

Think about it another way. Now guys like Jencko, Sotek and others will get larger role with the U18 project. Maybe even some 2006 borns get drawn in.

Im surprised with his performance. Sometimes he is invisible, but then he makes a top defense play, then something in front of the net... Really curious, how will he do in WHL.
 
So far his season from a stats standpoint has been very disappointing. However, I watched last nights game vs Regina and he was all over the ice and had several very good scoring chances where the Regina goalie had to make a big save. I still think his chances of the draft are fading. Maybe he can make a push for a WJC roster spot.
