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.Badinka? Was he close? I'm clinging to the dream of 3 Czech D in round 1.

As a jokerit fan dont really get the badinka hypeEvery 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.As a jokerit fan dont really get the badinka hype
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 itThere 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.
17 in a U20 Finnish league and getting points is damn impressive.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.

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 26.2 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!
