Another Nitra gem for the draft. Very creative defenseman, skilled hands. Works well in the offensive zone, high hockey iq, quality positional play. As with many Slovak prospects, his red flag is skating, but it's nothing that couldn't be improved before the draft. Simon Nemec had similar skating at the same age. He is already tall enough and his growth is not yet complete. He needs to get stronger, but he still has time. Next season he will play among men, rotating in top tier Slovak men's league for Nitra and lower tier Slovak men's League for U18 project. He will get some matches among juniors, but he has outgrown that level. I am curious to see his further progress. It's a bit of a surprise and it's a shame he's not in the first HGC nomination.

I was also very surprised that he isn´t part of the camp before HGC. Whatever, but if his development will continue as well as during the last season, then easily he can be part of the team at WJC-18 next year.

Skating in the Slovak Extraliga as a 17-year-old but not selected in the CHL Import Draft.

Any updates?

He’s a tough player to evaluate. At times, he resembles a notable draft pick, but he often struggles under pressure. Despite this, he is a formidable player with draft potential. His agility as a mobile, puck-moving defenseman, combined with a powerful wrist shot, is impressive. However, it is disappointing that he does not take advantage of his shot more frequently. He shows solid defensive skills with his stick, but his physicality in the corners and around the net remains a concern. I truly believe that if he decides to enter the OHL, he has the talent and drive to achieve significant success.
