RD Jakub Chromiak - Kingston Frontenacs, OHL (2024 Draft)

[Artorius Horus T]

Jakub is regarded as one of the top defencemen in the import draft. He has a late birthday and is projected to be a high 1st round pick in the 2024 NHL draft.

" We are very excited to select a high-end defenceman with his skill and ability. He is a strong skater and is a very mobile defenceman with a lot of poise. He can play in any type of situation and has excellent vision. Chromiak is a strong puck moving defenseman who moves well in transition. He is very adept in all three zones and was also a member of the U18 WJC (D1A) Gold Medal Slovakian Team this past April "

Quite likely he will be a part of Sudbury next season. Dukla Trencin has Nemcik, Ozols, Pietroniro, Starosta, Ulrych and young Petrovicky in defense and from what I heard another youngster Stacha is about to sign. There will be no space for Chromiak. Sudbury will probably be the best for him at the moment.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I thought he was the best of the Slovak defensemen, and close to best player, although I would put his performance more in the adequate category than very good.

He looks like a real solid two-way defenseman. I hadn't seen him play before. My concern would be that I don't see huge offensive skills and he's 5'11. His brother is 6'0. The way the draft goes, it's a mark against you if you are 5'11 and you don't have huge offensive skills. I think he's good and is trending to be a top two rounds pick in 2024, but it'd help him if he grows an inch or two between now and the draft. That could solidify first round status.

he is close to 6 foot 0 and also, his draft year is 2024.

i would bet he is still growing, the younger brothers
usually are the shorter ones, not always but usually.

He will go in the top 10

I saw him at u18 and he was best dman there and generating a lot of offense i see him as top 20 pick in draft but lot could change

The right move for him at this time considering the lack of games/playing time he was currently getting.

Will fit right in with Sudbury, who have a whole slew of talented 04's and 05's. If all return next year, look out.

i agree, more games the better

Sudbury D looks impressive

Sudbury D looks impressive

I think they need to bring in one more defender and maybe an Overager upgrade from Robinson to be a scary looking team.

OHL Debut Tonight

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Rough start for his OHL career, no idea what kind of role, but finally scored his first point,
stole the puck in the blue line, passed the puck to Konyen, who scored on half a breakaway.

He was all giddy but nonchalantly grabbed the puck and put it inside of his glove

 

[Antiillafire]

Just got his first OHL goal. Now has points in back to back games (his first points of the season). Also playing very well defensively. I’d bring him to the WJC as 7th dman

 

[hellwar9]

In my opinion, if he adapts well, he can be a big riser before the draft next season.

 

[badfish]

I've saw a few Wolves games this year and thought he looked good. His goal tonight was a funny play that led to him basically doing a flick shot top shelf. I also like Kieron Walton on the Wolves. His confidence seems to be growing.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Congrats dude!.

 

[Antiillafire]

4 pts in his last 6 games

 

[Antiillafire]

1+1 today. I think his recent play has earned him an invite to WJC camp

He's quietly become probably the 2nd or 3rd best d-man on the roster in my opinion. Excited to see how he developed in the next year and a half.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

First 10 games, 0+0, - 6, last 9 games 7 points. +8
Took him a while to adjust to the OHL

 

[Antiillafire]

2 assists tonight including this really nice pass

Now has 9 pts in his last 14 games. Really surprised he wasn’t at least invited to WJC camp

Yup. Ditto.

It´s getting more and more brainless decision... just wow.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

its been quieter for a while, what comes to point production
went 10 games with binocular stats of 0+0, but primary apple
and a goal in his last 2 games.

his goal was a nice one : Ontario Hockey League – Official Site of the Ontario Hockey League
(scored Wolves 6-4 goal)

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Got a secondary assist, extends his point streak to 3 games.
