[TT1]

Under the radar dman, big darkhorse in this years draft.

Good luck for him, at this point he has as much of a chance for the nhl as any other prospect in the bottom 50 of the top 100.

What's the scouting report on this kid? Where does he project to go in the draft?

He’s improved his game nicely in the last 2 seasons. While still in need of considerable development he looks like he could become a useful bottom 3 defender one day. The Chiefs run a good program.

This man is on a bit of a tear in the AHL right now. He has 2 + 9 in his last 9 games. Do the Leafs have something here?

he looked great in camp. Wouldn't be shocked if he's seriously pushing for a spot next year

I thought he might eke out a few NHL games eventually.

Preseason was strong and I was thinking he might get an injury call up later as most seemed to like him

Now he's doing very well in AHL (player of week I believe) in a nice small sample size

He may actually become a regular in the NHL. That'd be amazing

Yeah after stagnating a bit in his last two years in the WHL he had a crazy strong season in the CZE last year and now arguably an even stronger season in the AHL this year.

Most of us in the Leafs prospect thread have him ahead of any other Leafs D prospect besides Niemela, passing Kokkonen, and separating himself from Koster. May see some games this year if injuries hit, but more likely he'll get a chance to be the #7 guy next year when we likely clear out guys like Holl/Dermott.

Hopefully more Kaberle then Polak!

That really would be. If the roster was determined purely by merit off of training camp, Kral would have been on the opening night roster. It's really encouraging to see him play so well in the AHL after I had thought 2 years ago he wasn't developing enough to make this team at some point.
