Named the best player of today's decisive group game against the Swedes.

Swedes might not like him very much.. Hlinka and U18 wins for milota over them.

Would anyone be surprised if he was the second Czech player drafted this year?

I'd be in absolute shock to be honest. Happy shock.

Jiricek
Badinka
Galvas
Fibigr
Jecho
Kos

6th at best IMO. And I will concede your prospects knowledge is better than mine so I'll happily be wrong.

Matecha and spunar hopefully get drafted too. Then Kavan should get a look.

I think outside of maybe Badinka, I don’t see a Czech prospect whose a lock to go second round.

We know Jiricek will be first. I think they are all competing for second. It’s a very weak goalie draft, but teams still need them. Someone is going to take a goalie by pick 50. We’ll likely see at least 3 or 4 by the end of the second round.

Could Milota go 57 and Badinka 60? Again, I wouldn’t be too surprised. If he has a good tournament, that would help a lot. He’s 6’2 and had a decent year in the Q. I don’t think he’s outside of the competition for a top 3-4 goalie selection this year.

One position the Czechs will never struggle for is goaltenders.

Same spot we drafted Saros, hopefully it's a good luck spot.
