F Eduard Sale - Kitchener, OHL (2023, 20th, SEA)
- Thread starter Pavel Buchnevich
- Start date
Šalé played his first senior game! (in the first line with Zaťovič and Holík) (Kometa Brno, Extraliga, preseason game)
Seven points in the last two games (Czech "Extraliga juniorů" (02, 03 yob)).
Pavel Buchnevich
Drury and Laviolette Must Go
After Jiricek, it seems like he’s the next top Czech prospect.
Sovereignly the best player in the Czech junior league in the U17 category, he also leads in the U18 category. Third place in the league scoring, more than 2PPG.
15GP, 13G + 19A
I think he's the player who should be in the estimates in the first round of the draft. I'm very curious about his game next week in the U18 national team.

From those who have not yet gone through the draft, I think that Kulich will definitely get into the team. Šalé is a year younger, he would have to play at that U18 tournament absolutely unbelievably, otherwise I don't think they will give him a chance ..

He's destroying the U20 league with over 2 .ppg average. That is great. However... not much great comes out of the U20 and if he goes to Extraliga then he'll get 5 minutes a game and look like a bust. Seems like a player that would, unfortunately, benefit from going abroad. Thanks for brining him up... I'll add him to my follow list.
Also, I think Kulich is second behind Jiricek. Jiricek looks great today as I watch Extraliga on Sunday mornings.

The Pastrnak , Vrana route to Sweden would likely suit Sale the best

Or Finland or the CHL.
I just worry he'll stay in Extraliga. Make the big club and not play. U20 is not a competitve enough league to get drafted high from.
Sadly, I think young good Czechs like this will look into DEL as well.
For Euro prospects that are the elite of the elite, playing against men is the prefered option ex Kemell staying in Liiga vs going to the CHL. This is of course different if you are in a situation which your icetime would be minimal ex. Olausson or your domestic mens league is weak. In these cases, the CHL is a better option. For Sale's case, if he goes to Finland he would need to play for a weaker Liiga team for it to be worthwhile. In Sweden , J20 + Allsvenskan time could be a great option for him .
The CHL would also be a better option than staying at home in a weaker junior league or with limited ice time in Extraliga. I don't know how strong Brno is or if they are open to giving youngters ice time but if Kulich can play regularly in Extraliga at 17 ,then you would think Sale who seems to be at least the same level of prospect if not more highly touted should be able to do the same next season.

Another (3+)pts game! (4 assists today)
11 pts in the last 3 games.
Top-15?

No NHL scout is watching or rating highly the Czech u20 league like that. This seasons accomplishments won't mean much in their eyes. Only way he goes that high is if he produces well next season in either Czech Exraliga, Allsvenskan, Liiga, CHL. Or, if he plays the majority of next season in SHL. Finland , North America, Sweden or staying in Czech Republic are the places he most likely plays next season

His numbers are truly incredible. A ppg as a 16 year old in u20 is already good and worthy of a draft pick. He’s over 2 ppg and to top it off his team Kometa Brno is not some dominant team in the league. They are currently 8th place with a record of 10 wins and 8 losses.
He is definitely a big talent.

Pretty crazy season he is having. Great size. Leading the league as a 16 year old. Who does that?!
Can see him getting drafted by a CHL team, I think he will destroy juniors. If not, let him keep developing in the Czech Republic, get some Czech-2 games, who knows, maybe some games in the men's league.
Most importantly, he needs icetime. Getting 4 minutes of ice on the 4th line on a men's team aint good for developing.

CHL would be likely I think and probably for the best, or Sweden. For young Czech prospects who have made an NHL impact I can think of Necas and Hertl before him as the most recent. Most top Czech prospects go to the CHL because the Mens league is usually not a great league for young players to get ice time
