Prospect Info: Leafs pick #68 - Martins Dzierkals (F) HK Riga MHL 5'11" 169lbs

[hamzarocks]

Both Bracco and Dzierkals are going to be better NHL players than Konency.

hopefully, and even if one doesn't end up as good we got two options now, not too mention nielson. These 4 prospects can be grouped closely together in terms of potential and getting 3 instead of 1 of what is looking to be nhlers is better than having only one. Not too mention dermott who is going to be amazing. Loved the trade by hunter hope we can get more guys like this in 2016

Andreas Johnson is going point per game in the SHL as a 20 year old too. That's pretty amazing.

i always forget about him since i can never watch shl games. Wow he looks like an amazing pick, if his game translates well to the nhl he will be a really nice player, getting brown and johnson so late in 2012 and 2013 was amazing, pinnich from 2014 looks really promising as well right now, and timo and korestolev from sarnia look great from 2015. We are finding some really nice picks in later rounds recently

Showing early why Leafs made great decision to trade down from Konecny

Glad to see it. He was doing alright last year, but a guy of his size has got to have great production on the larger ice in order to translate some of it to the NHL.

people are forgetting timashov, hes doing really good too

 

[FlareKnight]

It is comforting that so many guys are doing so well.

Feeling good about the picks right now .

Martins Dzierkals with 3 points last night.

Playing in a new league.

Looks like the boys drafted this year are not having any letdowns/adjustment issues.

26 points in 16 games, 1.625 PPG.

The video from that game will be a little bit later today, but I can share the video from last weeks friendly against same Kazakhstan team, where Dzierkals got 1 goal and 3 assists. Dzierkals is with #13.

In video 0:17 Dzierkals assist for goal.
2:10 Dzierkals goal on PP
2:45 Dzierkals passes to open D-guy for a shot.
3:20 Nice puck handling skills lead to his shot, which misses the net, but his linemate scores a goal.

Wow those Kazakhs sure know how to play air-tight defense!

Seriously though, sick goal.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

So I'm guessing he got no points today since no one posted anything ?

2 points in 3 games...was expecting a lot more tbh.

He's a mid round pick, do you expect him tobe at Nylander's or Marner's level already?

 

[Joey Hoser]

Well his team is in tier 2.

I mean I'm not drawing conclusions after 3 games that I didn't watch, but he should probably be a stud in that tournament.

He's playing in tier 2 and is most likely the best player in the entire tournament; I just thought he would be killing the tournament.

Team Latvia playing pretty bad, they should dominate this tournament, today I think will be breakout game for Dzierkals, they play against Germany in 20 minutes.

What happened with Dzierkals today? I don't know how to find the boxscore...

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Had an assist in a 4-1 win.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Latvia,gets promoted to Elite division and that means Dzierkals will be playing in the next WJC!

Very nice. It will be good to see him playing against future NHLers next year.
