Prospect Info: Michal Teply, LW, Bílí Tygři Liberec, 105th overall (2019)

[Kevin Musto]

Teply was likely referring to the Champions Hockey League, but I'm not sure Scott Powers understood that...

Maybe by CHL, Scott Powers actually meant the Canadian Hockey League

don't know why, but I feel he goes to the Q...

Or London...

Since skating isn't a requirement to succeed in the CHL, he should do just fine...

Considering the team that just won the cup, speed doesn't seem to be a requirement in the NHL either.

Just because Kelley didn't pick your guys, doesn't mean they suck.

Who to believe, you that's says his skating sucks, or Kelly who says his skating is good? Hmm..hard decision.

The scouting community is really divided on Tepleys' skating.
Thedraftanalyst.com..."He’s a very good skater with decent separation speed, and he keeps his feet moving through the neutral zone."

McKeens..."A skilled winger with offensive instincts, he has an ideal NHL frame and
above average skating ability."

There are at least as many as not who say his skating is below average. I guess limited viewings=little consensus on his skating. Its going to be a dividing factor in his perceived upside until people get to see it for themselves.

I doubt Mark Kelley and Co had limited viewings.

 

[Kevin Musto]

I doubt Mark Kelley and Co had limited viewings.

Kelley stated that his skating got a bit better each time they saw him. In other words, "Yes we know his skating is ass, but by the end of the year it looked a little less ass."

 

[bwanajamba]

Or in other words, “he’s a kid who just turned 18 and seems to be doing well growing into his body”

He literally said in his interview that he was a good skater.

Almost got drafted by Flint at 5th overall which would've been hilarious if he ended up playing with Ethan Keppen so we could directly compare how much better Keppen is...

In your opinion. There are scouts that lean both ways.


Stop with the absolutes. They make conversations unbearable.

Sweet. I live in Winnipeg so I should be able to catch a few games. Hopefully get to too see Savoie alot as well.

 

[giza]

Skating is a big priority for scouting with the Hawks......at worst, I'm sure he's average and likely above. He's not physical so let's not let the 6.3 create any illusions.

....WHL it is. Feel shame. The both of you.

WHL it is.

I am not going to buy the WHL package like I did the OHL one.

I know right?

I don't think Dach will be back in the WHL but even if he is I don't think I would buy it.

oh I do..it always seems that most of the best Czech or Slovak kids that come over wind up in the Q over the past home many years..not sure why I just think happens for some reason..

I think what me and BK were actually trying to say but some of you misunderstood is that Teplay would be at Q-Doba's on London Avenue in downtown Winnipeg..not sure how you could think we were suggesting anything other than that to be honest...
