Just sharing. Looks pretty damn good to me!

I’m totally biased, but I think Sykora is 3-5 spots too low.

This is how I feel when no one mentions Dominik Petr or Tomas Galvas goes undrafted.lol

 

[Briser la glace]

I'm not familiar with every of these undrafted players, but I must say I like what I've seen from Tomas Pobezal so far; impressive speed and solid work on the forecheck despite his size.

Looks like the Czechs got another Slovak. FWIW.. I don't like that this is happening. BUT.. I hope he's awesome.lol

My understanding from the Czech article (which could be bias) is that he was not being invited to Slovak NT tourneys because he was playing in Finland and Slovakia will not nominate players outside of Slovakia for U16. Not saying that is 100% accurate and happy to be corrected but that was what I got out of the article.

That is exactly what happened. It's really so ridiculous that any comments are not needed

Now with the international break after 2 months of playing I took a look at some stats and what cough my eye is how well the 2010 born players are doing in the U18 league.

Here is a comparison if I count the last 6 years.

Name	Born	Position	Games	Goals	Assists	Points	PPG
VÁLEK, Matúš	2009	LW	26	17	40	57	2,19
JENČKO, Daniel Alexander	2005	LW	33	23	28	51	1,55
DOMONKOS, Dominik	2010	LW	18	17	10	27	1,50
ORBAN, Alexander	2010	CE	13	11	8	19	1,46
ŠUŠOLIAK, Patrik	2010	CE	17	10	13	23	1,35
ŠVAJDA, Leonard	2010	RW	17	10	13	23	1,35
MELICHERÍK, Max	2010	CE	18	10	14	24	1,33
MOLNÁR, Ondrej	2005	RW	51	27	33	60	1,18
MATTA, Ivan	2008	LW	44	27	24	51	1,16
SVRČEK, Michal	2007	CE	34	26	10	36	1,06
ŠOTEK, Alex	2004	LW	46	19	27	46	1.00
MEŠÁR, Filip	2004	CE	52	23	27	50	0,96
LUKÁČIK, Matúš	2008	CE	32	15	15	30	0,94
CHRENKO, Tomáš	2007	CE	9	2	6	8	0.89
PISARČÍK, Samuel	2009	RW	27	8	14	22	0,81
TOMÍK, Tobias	2007	LW	33	18	7	25	0,76

It can go even higher or lower as the season continues. This doesn't really mean anything some of these players weren't even drafted but most of them were an important player on the national team.

Domonkos is almost at goal per game - Here is a video with his 4 goals against Hoba which i belive could be the record for the youngest player who scored 4 goals in the U18 match.



Obviously every player plays a different role and has a different talent on his team so comparing players just based on stats is not ideal.

And there is also an age factor I am comparing their age group but Melicherík is almost one year younger than Válek and Jenčko.

There is also the factor that when Jencko was there, or others from 2004 and 2005 age group, it was the U18 league, now it is the U17 league. The older ones play there only for an exception, so it can't be compared that well.

Hm thanks for pointing that out. I looked at the average players age of each season and the 2018/19 and 2019/2020 are not that much older. Yes there is some difference but its not that big.

When Jencko (2005) was playing the youngest team in the league Zilina had 16.38 average age. Which is lower than the youngest team 2007 or 2009 faced.

Unless I am looking at this the wrong way?
