So I'm not super surprised there hasn't been a thread on him yet given that he's playing in a relatively under scouted league, but his numbers look absolutely ridiculous. Has anyone seen him play?

How does he compare to other goaltending prospects in previous drafts?

My opinion from comparing stats and leagues is in between Demko and Fitzpatrick, and cloe to Subban

 

[alexmanu]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Preds picked him up in the middle rounds. We have a knack of stealing goalies from Europe.

 

[Mikeaveli]

The real question is why is he playing in the NAHL? You'd think he's good enough for the USHL with those numbers...

He told in this interview (http://www.slovakprospects.com/zahr...rskej-epochy-priblizil-tomeka-k-naplneniu-sna), that he had offers from some USHL teams, but only as a second or third goalie. Topeka promised him, that he can fight for number one spot so he accepted the offer.

The next Connor Hellebuyck?

Ah, that makes sense then.

A couple NAHL goalies seem to get drafted each year. Goaltending talent trickles down to it because there aren't that many starting jobs in the USHL.

Too bad he isn't in this year WJC Slovakia team. At least as a 3. goalie he should be there.

Another shutout for Tomek last night.

Committed to University of North Dakota.

Tomek draft round ?

Tomek draft round ?

Late second, early third.

 

[Nodak651]

It will be fun to see what he can do this upcoming season, as he will be replacing Zane McIntyre/Gothberg

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Tomek has his first national team invitation. 94,78 %, 1 shootout in 12 games.

 

[Newfoundland]

Insane stats, is a 94.8% worth an NHL contract from extraligga?

No, but it may get him a contract in one of the best leagues

 

[Tripod]

He was written off...but maybe he still has a chance to become something. But will be competing with:

Sandstrom
Ersson
Ustimenko
Fedotov(2.01 GAA, .934SV% in KHL)

...so maybe he carves out a backup career with someone else.

 

[hellwar9]

I think he will go to the Czech league after this season. And if he repeats the same numbers there, then maybe to the NA or Sweden/KHL.

Do the Flyers still own the rights? And for how long?
