LW - Tobias Tomik - HK Dukla Trencin, Slovakia U20 (2026 Draft)

Some flashes here, good skater for sure. Let’s hope he has a path to nhl draft as similar to Mesar. Personally I like how aggressive he plays, he’s not afraid to take and dish out contact along the boards

Love this kid on this WJC. 5 points in 5 games as the youngest member of the team, playing 1st line minutes, powerplays, shorthanded, everything. And it´s not only his offensive skills I love his two-way game especially.

His skating is also very good which means he´ll probably go high in 2026.

Do you think he’s better than Pobezal?

Do you think he’s better than Pobezal?

Yes I believe he is. I know the recent developments with this player haven’t been great but Tomik almost looks like Marner-light. Not saying he will be that good, score that much, etc. But I was really quite surprised by how much he was used on the PK as well. He had 5 pts in 7 games, more than Liam Greentree.

I wonder now what the future holds next year for these 2007’s, not all them stay in Slovakia. So who will stay and get a shot with men’s teams, who will go to NA, and who will go to Finland/sweden?

Unlike Pobezal he is not as strong on the puck (Yet).. Which is a shame because he has the size and speed..

Sometimes I feel like players can take a puck from him very easily, often he has no idea what to do and just gives it to them for free.

And after watching him all season I still feel like he lacks the next level hockey sense to really put up a lot of points.

Still I believe he has a lot of potential going forward and could be much better than Pobezal when his draft year comes.

His "Two-way game" is already impressive for a 16 years old.

Do you think he’s better than Pobezal?

I think Pobezal is a 4th-6th rounder. I guess Tomik could very well go higher than that

 

[Antiillafire]

Wow according to Scott Wheeler, he wants to go to North America. Just selected by Vancouver in the import draft.

 

[Harvey Dent]

There is a rumor that he is leaving Slovakia for the Giants. I hope it's true.

He is playing in Trencin junior team now. I believe a move to NA would be best for him. But at the moment I’m not sure it is happening.
