1g+1a today!

 

[S E P H]

Didn't see his thread, so thought he deserved one after today's performance against the Russians. Had three primary assists and was one of the best Czech forwards on a deep offencive club. Very small sample size, but looked like he knows what to do when he has the puck in regards to making chances. Maybe not a very good two-way player as of now, but possesses superb playmaking talent and is a decent skater (which is what you want in today's modern NHL). Would you guys say that he reminds you of Jonathan Huberdeau in playing style, because I saw a lot of him in Kaut? Looking forward to if he's able to continue this pace for the 2nd half of the season, what are your guys' thoughts on him?

FC currently has him ranked 56th overall.

i have him in my second round as well. before the game i even listed him as a player to watch, i don’t see super high upside in him like Huberdeau but i see him more as a solid middle six guy. i really like this kid

Playing with good players but he's getting primary assists.

Actually he is a strong two-way player. Had a great game.

Play away from the puck was lacking compared to other Czechs, but it is something that is easily fixed over time. I thought Lauko was strong today at both ends of the ice even though he didn't put up any points..

@Lays wasn't talking about potential, more playing style.

Huberdeau is near elite. i don’t see Kaut reaching that level

Maybe he didn't look the best defensively in this game, but in my other viewings he did look good without the puck. Also disagree on Lauko, guy was really nervous and screwed up every offensive oppurtunity he had. He didn't have a good game.

Ehhhhhh, I wasn't talking about potential. E: miss understanding.

 

[Lays]

Ehhhhhh, I wasn't talking about potential. How hard is that to read?

i feel dumb, i read that wrong lol

I watched lot of Pardubice matches this season and Kaut is a very smart player not only in the offensive, but also in the defensive zone. Also helps that after last season, which was absolutely terrible for the club, this year Pardubice are playing above expectations.

 

[Peeps]

He's playing the best ligue in Czech and had three assists today against Russia. ( Recrutes | Ivan Hlinka Report - A look at 2018 ) recrutes had him in the 1st round this year, but no on one is talking about him in the first round. The best ranking as of 2017-12-26 is #56 by Future Considerations.

He's a late OCT 99, has a good physique and is playing against pro in his country's best league. Pretty interesting to me. I think he got to be in the top 60 as we are talking.

Let's see what he will do for the rest of the tourney.

 

[Tryamkin]

3 assists and looked sharp as mentioned above. An older one in the class, but plays it to his advantage for sure.

Do you think it would be in Kaut's best interest to play the remainder of this hockey season in the Western Hockey League to develop?

I was impressed with him in the game yesterday, he looked as good out there as Necas and Chytil did for the Czechs.

I think it may be better for his draft status (as czechs drafted directly from Extraliga rarely go high in draft), but from development point I think it's better for him to get decent minutes (he has average TOI over 13 minutes) against men in superior league than to play against junior players.

Mods,
Merge with original thread please http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/rw-martin-kaut-hc-dynamo-pardubice-czech-2018-draft.2386465/

 

[Tryamkin]

He’s moved up into my 2nd round with a very strong WJC. He looks quite promising.

 

[Kipper933]

Looks like a first round talent to me.

 

[Babula]

Looks like a first round talent to me.

I´m not sure with his laziness... anyway he seems to be smart.

 

[Wooren]

Scored 3+1 today, back to back player of the game. He sure is making a run at the 1st round.

 

[Pixie]

Yeah, he was so perfect today, first hat trick in ELH. He was also so good in Wednesday. I was impressed with his game in the PK.

Kaut with a hattrick against Třinec (3+1).
