Anyone saw him play this season?
Matej Blumel at Elite Prospects
He has been goalscoring machine so far, 11 games in and he has 10+4, averaging almost 4 shots per game. Last year he only amassed 8+10 in 52 games, including playoffs. I have seen him many times in the U17/U18 Czech national team and while he was a decent player, he never stood out. Once recorded 4 goals against the top U18 USA squad, before leaving for the USHL he destroyed the Czech U18 league (31+19 in 25 games), but that offense never translated, until now.
Should he continue this pace he will be a hot candidate for the Czech WJC team and perhaps even for the upcoming NHL draft.
