Nice stat-watch 6th rounder.

 

[Circulartheory]

If memory recalls, I read he's a buzzsaw type of player. Versatile forward with smarts. Maybe another Dewar?

 

[57special]

Slovaks seem to think we got a good one, here. He's an August birthday, making him very young.

Where do you see that? Genuinely curious. Is it in the general draft thread?

There is a thread dedicated to him in the draft forum.

They thought he'd be a late second to early fourth pick with some wondering if he could push the envelope and be a late first early second round pick.

Apparently he's a defensive wizard

C Servac Petrovsky - Owen Sound Attack, OHL (2022, 185th, MIN)

I haven't found his own thread and I think he deserves one. Servác Petrovský belongs to the strong Slovak '04 birthyear. He spent the past few seasons in the Czech Republic, started this one with 6 points (3+3) in 8 U20 league games. However, due to the pandemic and Czech youth leagues being...

Really young player who produced pretty well. I like the pick.

Just stat watching I dont see why he fell to the 6th. looks to be producing at every stage he plays at.

 

[Ivo]

You got a steal. Versatile, hard-working player, good defensively for his age and the offensive numbers are decent. Lots of untapped potential here. As a Slovak I have been following him and was hoping my Bruins pick him somewhere in the 4th round. You got him in the 6th, so great value pick there. Congrats, I hope he does well in your organisation!

FWIW

FWIW

Hopefully his progression continues and he is an absolute steal for a 6th rounder.

 

[57special]

goal today against Finland

 

[Al Lagoon]

Keep flying high yet under the radar young man.

 

[keppel146]

I think he got voted best player for his team in the game vs Finland.

yeah, he did

 

[stastny12]

He scored a hat trick last night. After 17 games, he has 21 points.

 

[57special]

2g(both one timers), 1a in first game of WJC against CZE.

[57special]

Got another goal against SUI. 3g, 1 a in 2 gp. Let's see how he does against better competition.

SLO seems like a dark horse to make the final 4, as GER just beat FIN.

I don't know much about this kid, but it looks like he's got a heck of a nice shot.

Looks like EliteProspects.com has this to say:

Petrovský’s offence comes from his off-puck reads and shooting skill. He doesn’t just identify the best pocket of space, he times his movements. He hits the brakes after sprinting to become an option at the top of the slot or sneaks behind a defender’s back to become a backdoor threat. The ensuing shot comes off his stick without any wind up and is often cleverly placed. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide

Other places I'm reading talk about him being a highly intelligent player, inconsistent offensively, average skating speed, good skating agility and balance in tight checking spaces, great positionally, and good defensively. No outstanding skills, but a plethora of good ones. Middle-six to bottom-six NHL center or winger potential.

If he can find soft spots in his opponents defensive coverage and exploit them at the pro level, while staying good defensively, it sounds like he'll be a player. There are only 9 Slovak players in the NHL right now. It would be sort of strange if the Wild added 2 more, Novak and Petrovsky. I doubt it happens, but I hope they both make it and make me look dumb.

As a Slovak, I’ve never heard of this Novak guy, so he’s definitely Czech.

You are correct, sir, he is Czech. My apologies! I'm not sure why I thought he was Slovak. I've actually thought that this whole time.
