Alexander Rykov (CAR) is up to 4pts in his last 4GP in the KHL and slowly seeing increases in icetime.
My belief in one of the most intelligent players from the 2023 Draft grows with every viewing. Enjoy some highlights of his last 4 games.

🇸🇰 Alex Čiernik (F, 2004)
➡️ Philadelphia Flyers (120th Overall)
Stellar skater, great in transition, skilled hands, good at playmaking but doesn't lack a good release. Drives the game and creates chances with his sharp type of play. #2023NHLDraft
🇸🇰 Adam Gajan (G, 2004)
➡️ Chicago Blackhawks (35th Overall)
Atheltic goalie, loves to play the puck, hard-worker with a good mindset. Spent his draft year in Slovak junior leagues, moved to NA and jumped to the top spots of goalie rankings after World Juniors. #2023NHLDraft
NHL scouts….They do NOT go by public rankings.
Example: 2nd OA last year
Public rankings in NA had Adam Fantilli as the consensus 2.
When scouts from every NHL team were polled at 2nd overall.
It was 50/50 between Carlsson and Fantilli.

Dylan MacKinnon (#3, white) loves to lay big hits and staple his opponents to the boards 👊💥

➡️ Chicago Blackhawks (55th Overall)
Skilled forward with 200-foot game, great defensively, smooth skater, amazing hands, doesn't mind landing a hit, has played 1.5 seasons in Slovak Extraliga. Truly an all-around player. #2023NHLDraft

➡️ Buffalo Sabres (45th Overall)
Two-way, right-handed defenseman, mostly inclined towards defensive work, does have the offensive tools, good shot, works well with his stick, blocks shots, cleans the opposition around the net. #2023NHLDraft
🇸🇰 Juraj Pekarčík (F, 2005)
➡️ St. Louis Blues (76th Overall)
Power-forward winger, good skater and playmaker, great shot, fights well in puck battles, uses his frame, very skilled, likes to make a confident move with puck. One of the biggest risers of the draft. #2023NHLDraft
