Almost every year there are 35 to 45 overagers (players previously eligible to be drafted) who get drafted – 2021 – 36; 2020 – 45, 2019 – 43. This year there is likely to be even more as many draft eligible players for the 2021 draft either didn’t get to play or got to play limited minutes and therefore didn’t get the necessary exposure to NHL scouts. This is particularly true for the goalies. So in a year where the goalie selection of first-time eligibles is underwhelming to say the least, expect to see a plethora of overage goalies taken.

So far, I have 6 overagers in the first 4 rounds with Tucker Robertson followed by Kyle Jackson topping the list. I have listed my own top 10 below for your perusal but I have likely missed some. Please feel free to post your own top 10 list or point out ones that I may have missed.

What about Kyle McDonald? Didn't play last year, coming off a season the year before where he didn't show progress, but he's doing well this year.

It looks like I may have missed Adam Mechura, a 6'4, 192 lb. Czech forward who has put up some gaudy numbers in the Czech U20 league this year (20GP 33G 16A 49Pts), a 167 pt. pace for 68 games. I have not been able to see him this year so maybe one of our Czech posters can let us know a bit about his game and skating prowess.

Injury (most of the last season).
New season: 22 pts in the last 6 games! (U20). 5 games, 2 goals, 1 assist (Chance Liga)

Agree with above... Gut, Spacek and Malik seem most likely to get taken 2nd time around. Not saying it'll happen but they are the best Czech contenders. I know nothing about Mechura but hope he's a late bloomer!

Robertson will easily be a first-rounder this year; clear case of a guy who slipped through the “COVID cracks.”

Could be hard to tell and I also wonder if Bank is going to get some traction with the performance so far in the WJHC?
