I'm a bit distracted (I'm following the MLB playoffs), but if I haven't missed someone, Knazko is the only Slovak picked so far (and we are at no.106 )...

Anyway here you have all Slovak drafted players. Last year we had also only one...in 2012 or 2016 none https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenskí_hokejisti_draftovaní_NHL phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs also picked 4 defencers and only 1 goalie (the Russian Iaroslav Askarov picked by Nashville as 11th overall pick) Sadly but as expected no nor player were picked in the opening round this year...however chances to have some drafted guys also this year are quite realistic in the remaining 6 rounds (2nd to 7th) this evening from 18:30 CEST (rumors mentioning especially the likes of GK Samuel Hlavaj, DEF Samuel Kňažko and Marko Stacha or FW Martin Chromiak (should be definitely be our 1st this years pick) and Oliver Okuliar ? I am a bit disappointed/surprised that Stützle wasn’t drafted 2nd overall (especially because Marco Sturm is a coach for the Los Angeles Kings) and that Peterka wasn’t drafted in the first round. It would have been crazy for Germany to have more guys than the US/Sweden drafted in the first round. Between 2000 and 2017 Germany only had 2 first round picks (Goc was the 20th pick in 2001 and Draisaitl was the 3rd pick in 2014), but in the last 3 years Germany had 4 first round pick (two of them were top 6 picks). Overall a pretty good year for Germany when it comes to ice hockey ... Personally I would have picked Rossi ahead of Holtz, I also think that Askarov should have been picked earlier. Edit: Peterka was picked 34th by the Buffalo Sabres. Also there were 8! swedish players picked in the 2nd round, their depth is just crazy.

hckošice 13,131 Posted October 7, 2020 #86 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Finally someone drafted Martin Chromiak. Surprising he was not drafted in earlier rounds though. 128th is really too low for him, This guy is one heck of talent. Clearly our most talented 2002 class Should be a good prospect for LA Kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,131 Posted October 7, 2020 #87 Share Posted October 7, 2020 yep, so far (middle of 5th round) behind the top powerhouses 46x 17x 10x 18x and 34x we have players from 5 other countries drafted right now. 138 players drafted at the moment 5x (48,99, 107, 110 and 136), 3x (3, 17 and 34 ) 2x (9, 104) and (78, 128) and 1x (56) still 0x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year Germany should have had 3 first round picks and next year Germany probably won’t have a single guy drafted (at least not in the first 3 rounds). hckošice 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

hckošice 13,131 Posted October 8, 2020 #90 Share Posted October 8, 2020 So, quick recap. Only 2 slovaks from the 2002 class are drafted (quite disappointing for kids like Hlavaj, Okuliar or Stacha but it is how it is) the only 2 drafted are Samuel Kňažko and Martin Chromiak. All in all the clubs picked 71x 52x 32x 23x 17x 8x (Highest pick number 48 - Jan Myšák) 3x (9, 104, 161) (3, 17 and 34) 2x (162, 205) (78, 128) 1x (56) (149) (145) The biggest surprise definitely is to see no player was drafted from this year 62 Centers 61 Defensemens 37 Right Wings 36 Left Wings 20 GK The first pick Alexis Lafreniere by NY Rangers and last drafted was as 217th Declan McDonnell by Tampa Bay First European drafted was Tim Stuetzle as 3rd overall pick by Ottawa Senators, last European to get drafted was Jakub Konečný as 216th by Buffalo Sabres. Highest picks by rounds: 1st round 19 (worth mention all 3 picks were 1st and early 2nd round picks, not really surprising for guys like Peterka, Stutzle and Reichel) 2nd Round 9 followed by 7x , First pick and the Tristen Robbins first British to get drafted since Liam Kirk in 2018 3rd Round 10x followed by 9x (First pick of the year with Samuel Kňažko beng selected by Columbus) 4th Round 11x 5th Round 9x (only picks for and ) 2nd and last this year draft Martin Chromiak as 128th by Los Angeles Kings 6th Round 13x first pick for 7th Round 9x followed by 8 picks for and Highest drafted by positions: GK: Iaroslav Askarov by Nashville Predators as 11th DEF: Jake Sanderson by Ottawa Senators as 5th LW: Alexis Lafreniere by NY Rangers as 1st overall pick C: Quinton Byfield by LA Kings as 2nd RW: Alexander Holtz by New Jersey Devils as 7th.
