The production thing shouldn't matter too much if the scouts saw him. I mean you see Russian kids playing in the KHL and posting single-digit points, or kids in the SHL, and they're highly-touted and go round one. I mean when you're a teenager, in in Chytil's case a young 17, playing in a men's league unless you're Gretzky you're not getting a lot of TOI or prime opportunities. It actually lends credence somewhat to the "under-scouted" theory.
I remember that report, it was something to do with having to go from Prague to Zlin and it was inconvenient or something odd and not a lot of scouts go there. It seemed odd, but not implausible.
Anyway, I think it's a bit premature to say Chytil should have been considered a top-ten guy, but consensus first round seems appropriate. I think he was picked in a good spot. There's immense talent there but given how young he is it's harder to project how it will all come together.
