[Now we have both leading scorers on Slovakia’s U18 WJC team.](https://twitter.com/benh301_/status/1674449878309646338?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
Played with Dvorsky for Slovakia at WJC. Good pick
I’m really pumped for this pick in the 3rd round! It sounds like he’s got as much upside because of his skating and defense
Steal.
It’s absolute steal from 3th round
If he was 4 days younger he would be a 2024 draft prospect. Looked great with Dvorsky at WJC.. those two were basically the whole team and they took Canada right to the end. And he’s big and defensively sound, just like Dvorsky is. We’ve got a theme going for sure.
