He's certainly someone I could see playing their way into the 1st round, I have him in the 40s at the moment. I'm sure he's a 1st on some peoples lists.

Every ranking Ive seen on HF has 2 of the 3 Czech D in round 1. No one agrees on the order or which 2 Czechs though.lol

There was actually a nice argument about whether Galvas was round 1 or 5 too.
Most agree on Jiricek but one poster put Badinka ahead of them in their draft rankings.
Yeah I mean i get the point watching last season when he was close to ppg but its missing context and mostly he was scoring against the lower u20 bracket teams so his ”disappering” in the back half of the season wasnt surprising since the opponents got stronger imo I still think hes closer to 5th round pick than 1st for sure. Not sure what tools are ppl projecting for him to have over jiricek but not seeing it

17 in a U20 Finnish league and getting points is damn impressive.
Not saying 1st rounder but I can see where the hype is coming from. Curious how second half of season goes. Real shame he didn't play at U18. A lot of these prospects are always playing a year up and it's nice to see them against their peers.
I like seeing Yakemchuk on people’s lists. I feel like he had an unremarkable yet not terrible U18 and everyone gave up on him.

2 Czechs in round 1 and both are D. Great list!
I think Jiricek will be a riser. I also don't think I'll see Badinka play all season unfortunately. Good start in Sweden though!

I rather expect a selection between the 2nd and 4th round for Badinka but considering the start of the season and the still highly sought-after profile of a tall right-handed defender, I didn't see anyone else in rank 26.
