Whats this kids ceiling? I know nothing about him.

I see no reason not to say his ceiling is becoming a top line wing. However, I expect him to ultimately become a 2nd line wing who plays PP and at times PK as well. To be honest I don't know much more than you about him, though.

Didn’t he sell his house recently? Did he just move within the area?

It was up for sale I know that. Not sure if it sold but it was an awesome house with its own hockey rink. Can't imagine he would move out of the area all together though with his sons so involved with hockey in the area.

 

[Sea Eagles]

He'll push Rants for the top line in a few years. Thinking 85-95 point ceiling.

Good Lord. Let's not start setting crazy expectations for the kid we drafted 5 days ago.

My OCD is killing me, would a mod @RockLobster, @SoundwaveIsCharisma, or @Frenchy change the title to prospect info and put Kaut's position by any chance? I like going back to the previous prospect threads and it's hard to find them when not all of them are under "prospect info" section.

He should at least get 9 games this year in the NHL if he comes over right?

I’m off my lunch hour (and back to my work computer) in 11 minutes—I’ll change it then.

Done and done.

Only if he earns a look. If he comes over, give him that time in the AHL to continue developing. Even in the face of injuries I think they should resist calling him up unless he’s just tearing shit up in the AHL.

Get back here!

Good to have Francouz in AHL, so the kid has someone to live with if he comes over.

I guess there is an outside chance Hejduk might take him in, but it would be a lot to ask for.

Francouz isn't a kid, I think he'd be a quality "mentor" there, even though neither has ever lived in the US before. Maybe Hejduk would have them over for dinner or something, but billeting them would be too much to ask for when he has two teenage sons.

Two Czech’s, completely brand new to the US, living together in Loveland Colorado. You could probably make a sitcom/reality show out of that.

I already love this kid from all the draft day videos. Gonna be a fan favorite for sure. Wholesome
