W Jacob Kvasnicka - USNTDP, USHL (2025 Draft)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Very fast skater and has good stick skills. Loves driving to the net. Can play PK because you want his speed on the PK as a weapon. NTDP has been using him there sometimes already. I don't see much hockey sense or finishing ability and he's only 5'11, but his speed could carry him to the NHL.

That name…

Hope he doesn’t get a yeast infection

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

5'11 158 to 5'11 173 in the preseason measurements. The added weight can't hurt and the way he plays the game doesn't require height, but how palatable is his draft profile at 5'11?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He hasn't really progressed much at the NTDP. Same player as when he got there. Fastest player on the team, but he's a one trick pony. Occasionally on the right shift he'll show a little of puck handling skill and he's relatively good defensively. Maybe you get a fourth line winger (Tyler Motte?), but doesn't process the game at the level of his teammates. Can't really play a team game when his team has the puck. And he's not the biggest either. Brendan McMorrow and Charlie Cerrato both went undrafted with this profile the last two years from the NTDP, so Kvasnicka might find it tough to get picked. I would take a chance on him because I think he has a clear role he could play in the NHL, but definitely not before round 4 or 5, at earliest.
