he will probably start the season in J20 and then switch between senior team and J20

Yeah I understand, similar happens in Slovakia. I was just surprised that he wouldn’t be one then, as he seemed pretty confident heading into the season.
Funny how he thought he had nothing to prove by playing at the Hlinka yet he doesn’t make the opening game lineup, which he thought skipping that tournament would help.

I think this could be a good move for him. Tricky to get PP1 minutes as a 17 year old in a pro league, which is what he needs to show off his best attributes. I assume he's going to Tri-City, as that's who drafted him in the USHL.

He is signing with Muskegon.
Makes it even worse looking back at choosing not to play in the Hlinka tournament

First USHL goal in first game. Was also credited with 6 shots on goal although I think he had a few more based on what I saw. He also had an assist that for some reason was credited to other player, at the moment I’m writing this. Let’s see if the USHL will change that (it was pretty obvious).

Now being credited with two assists, so this shot must’ve hit someone in front and he got credit on the other goal you mention.

10 points (all assists) in 19 games with a +9 for Muskegon which is pretty solid for a young defender in the USHL straight from Europe mid-season.
But Central Scouting hates him - they have him #120 among North American skaters which will likely equate to a late-round (round 6/7 range) selection.
Seems like we are veering into Tomas Galvas territory here. He's 18 and already one of the better young Slovak blueliners and WJC-tested and yet...Central Scouting has his height at 5'-9 1/4" which I think they may rightly assume is going to crush his draft stock.
Their mid-term list is exceptionally low on a lot of undersized guys (Mooney, Benak, Katzin, Radivojevic, Loranger, Ekberg, Dach...even Schmidt much lower than most lists) - and given recent drafting trends, they probably are not wrong.

Going to disagree that he’s looking at a Galvas fall. Let’s wait for Bob’s list.
Pronman (who I’d argue is just as reliable with projecting who will get picked where as Central Scouting) said he’s mid rounds like a week or two ago.
I find Central Scouting isn’t like a definite NHL scouts listing. It’s a service that NHL uses to consult, and they have their own biases. I don’t think it’s a “this is how NHL teams view it” list.

I agree, for now he’s falling definitely. I was definitely suprised he didn’t even crack top 100 for NA skaters, I am also a bit concerned about the injury. I am unsure how serious it is and if he will be back for the U18 WC. If he is and he can impress there than maybe he can rise again but as of now I see him drafted in the Kiviharju range maybe even later.
His skating is deceptive but it’s not exactly explosive, which is concerning at his size.
