This seem line a odd pick he wasn’t really on my radar... I would have taken a swing on ovichinnikov or Bantle.

some posters won't like that he played in the USHS. With Dichow last year I didn't think they would pick a goalie but I don't know what they have in Dichow so a future NCAAer gives us up to 5 years, though this means he's eligible for the loophole in 4 years if he wants.

 

[sergejean]

Hopefully Dobes is dope!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Has the size you want in a goalie.

 

[montreal]

He'll be in the same conference as Caufield, Pitlick, Gorniak. Ohio State has been one of the best teams in the Big 10 these past 4 years, their coach has been doing a really good job lately going 87-44-21

they have a really good undrafted FA goalie in Tommy Nappier who opted to return for his Senior year so unless they have a incoming transfer for next season, Dobes should have a very good shot at getting ice time in '21 after Nappier is gone.

Really want to see some of him.. he's got the size, so let's see if he has the eyes and the athleticism.

“He's a Czech goalie. He's spent the last couple of years in the St. Louis area, so he's committed to playing pro over here...”

“He played for the Czech Republic at the World Junior A challenge, national team and he started the year in the North American Hockey League for Topeka. And ended up getting called up and playing for Omaha the rest of the season in the USHL.”

“He's off to Ohio State University... Vinnie Riendeau [Canadiens amateur scout] tracked him quite a bit this year; he likes the upside there. We've time with him; he's going to the NCAA.”

[Belial]

Seems to move pretty nicely...

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'm of the mindset you only draft a goalie if they're 6'3- 6'5 and if they have skill. 6'2 is a bit of the grey area, maybe 6'1, but 6'0 and under is waste of a pick now.

I like this "unknown" pick. Hopefully he'll be at the world jrs.

[Pompeius Magnus]

He sure looks enormous, at least as big as Dichow . Man, the days of Mike Vernon and Arturs Irbe really are long gone aren't they

Khudobin is 5'11". But he is the exception that confirms the rule.

 

[danyhabsfan]

i wouldn't think so this year maybe next.

he's already 19 so next year he won't be eligible.

Dobes in the line-up for Omaha's first preseason game at 4.

We'll see if both goalies will split the net.

 

[Adam Michaels]

After two periods of play, Omaha is up 2-1. Dobes is the starter. After 40 minutes, he has 1 goal against on 15 shots.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Omaha wins the game 4-1.

Dobes played the entire game and had 20 saves on 21 shots for a .953 SV%.

Excellent start. Hopefully he gives Primeau something to think about, rather than simply anointing the latter as Price's successor in waiting.

I'm blocked and obviously not subscribing to give the cyber bully money - anything at all, of interest?

He says that he is athletic, has a good glove hand, and one of his qualities is his stick handling. But one of his flaws is that he is flighty (as a scout told McCagg), meaning he needs to work on focusing a bit more and not wander off and lose positioning.

And he doesn't mean not focused and wander off in the sense that if a butterfly flies by, he is mesmerized by the butterfly. Meaning more like he tries to do a bit more than he needs to.
