I just know he's skinny and he has some nice offensive upside. Put up very good numbers in the Czech junior leagues

One of the most underrated prospects in the draft! Just a wonderful skater who can play in all three zones... He will need to get a lot stronger but his mobility is just excellent and fits the way the league is going. Playing with men all year, he is more advanced than you'd think...

Drafted by Saginaw.
As someone who grabbed him in a keeper league, really hope he comes over instead of playing minimal minutes in the Czech league.

Sounds like he will report.
Makes way more sense for his development, I'm sure Detroit is pushing for it.

Since he's a late 1997, even if he was drafted out of the CHL he could be placed in the AHL in 2017-18.

So this guy's looking pretty good, eh? Just came over as an import this year, and he's leading Saginaw in scoring as a defenseman. 17 points in 18 games. Supposed to be a really smart puckmover and PP guy.

Any other input on this guy, and Is it too early to ask about his ceiling in the NHL? 
It was probably a given he wouldn't keep up with his PPG pace, as he's currently in a 3 game slump without a point (21gp, 3g + 15a), but his numbers look pretty darn impressive.

2016 NHL Draft
5th overall: Juolevi - 34pts (8g 26a) in 42gp | 0.81 pts/gp
9th overall: Sergachev - 34pts (7g 27a) in 36gp | 0.94 pts/gp
53rd overall: Hronek - 42pts (9g 33a) in 46gp | 0.93 pts/gp
How does Hronek compare to the two defenseman drafted early in the first round? In terms of point production he's on par with Sergachev and ahead of Juolevi. Obviously points aren't everything though. If anyone here watches him a lot it would be great to know how well he is playing on both sides of the ice.

Not to be a huge slight against him, but he is a later birthdate than the other two.

7+18=25 points on his last 16 games... getting better and better.
Team is -40 and Hronek is +15 from the season.
Not bad for a 2nd rounder. That extra pick from Datsyuk trade.
Looks like there was some hype about Sergachev's advanced stats on his topic, and Hronek has even better stats.

Hronek is also playing for a worse team compared to Sergachev, too.

I watched him play once live this year and you could tell he was too skilled for his team.
He was actually the highest ranked Dman in Europe by the scouting services. I wonder how often they slip to the 2nd round? You could tell from watching him live that he was really good. That was really early in the season though and it seems like hes really taking off now that hes adjusted a bit more

I watch spirit games on tv (replays). He's the only reason I watch, best player on the team. He's one of those guys that always gets his shot through to the goalie. He's great at faking shots and setting up his teammates for tip goals. Most of the time I see him he's in the neutral or offensive zone so I'm not sure if he's getting the toughest matchups especially since they have Middleton and niemelainen (two big shutdown guys). But from what I've seen he's pretty good in his own zone too.

I believe he was playing very, very limited minutes in the Czech men's league, which played a large part in why he was taken where he was last year.
Just found a thread on him from his draft year, he played 8:26 a game in the Czech Men's league in his draft year.
