G Samuel Hlavaj (2019 undrafted; signed by MIN)

[alko]

It looks like, we have some special goalie prospect. The statistics dont say it, but have heard, that he is the best goalie prospect in recent years.

Samuel Hlavaj was considered for the 3. goalie position for the last U20 WCH. But then Bokros said, maybe it is too much for him now.

You can't be serious, one of the best goalie prospect in recent years? I can name 10 goalies who are/were just as good as he is right now. Please be careful with your boasting...

Ok. I forgot to write - in Slovakia.

 

[Jabs102501]

Really strong performance from him. Without him Slovakia probably would have been slaughtered

I’d say 5-1 without him, although who knows maybe Sklenar makes a lot of saves as well. But he has made himself a player of curiosity for scouts[/QUOTE]

Hlavaj’s coming out party? He looked like a stud today.

 

[Lays]

Hlajav was fantastic, I’d say both goals weren’t completely his fault as well
I don’t follow goalie prospects too much but I finally found one I like enough to keep tab on

His EP page visits jumped from 6000+ to 8000+ lol

Looks like alko was right the first time!

Because of one game? Come on man...

He’s actually been quite good in both the Slovak league and second league this season while playing on the team with 0 wins, and gets slaughtered most games. Not even carter hart or other top goalie prospects would put up good numbers on orange team. Let’s see what he can do with rest of games

I think he was on 3000 before the tournament

 

[WeThreeKings]

I really liked him.

Excellent lateral movement. Active hands and sticks. He was reading the play rather well.

The two goals were just screens and he can definitely get better at that.

I have a lot of time for him after that game.

He must go to USHL (NAHL) after this tournament. To stay in Slovak U18, U20 league will be step back.

Maybe he gets taken in CHL import draft in the summer? I see ushl as most logical option and most likely to happen

Yep, he is going to play for Lincoln Stars.

 

[Michael Farkas]

He'll get into lineup for Lincoln in about a week or so, fyi...

who?

 

[Stive Morgan]

So is it safe to say this guy ends up in the CHL (if taken in the Import Draft) or NCAA? (if he sticks with USHL)

I’d say more unlikely that he goes to CHL, unless of course solid minutes are “guaranteed to him.” Probably be more beneficial to be the no.1 in Lincoln and look for ncaa scholarship than play limited role in the CHL. If he comes to ushl and puts up good numbers there is a chance he could get drafted. But ushl seems to be the path Slovak goalies in NA are taking

 

[Kipper933]

I'm no goalie scout, but I thought he looked great at the WJCs and NHL size too. I'm surprised he was pulled in the quarters.

Samuel is currently playing on the worst team in the USHL, only 10 wins this season for the team. They have allowed the most goals, and give up most shots per game. The u18 tourney is likely his. This team will be strong so hopefully a good performance gives notice for scouts

April 18 in Sweden. I might try to see a few games.

Is Cajkovic eligible to play?
