Kevin Fiala, LW, Nashville Predators, 69 points
Fiala’s fan club among the scouting community grew as last season went on, and the Predators picked the offensively gifted forward with the 11th pick of the 2014 draft. At 5-10 and 180 pounds, the 18-year-old will need at least one more season with HV 71 in Sweden to get bigger and stronger, but it won’t be long before he brings his skills to North America.
Sweet fancy Moses is Kevin Fiala raising some eyebrows. The 18-year-old has clearly been the best player on the ice (from all squads) and is showcasing his speed and talent all over the place.
Supertalang visst. Men jag gråter inte blod om Fiala stannar i Nashville. Trots hans fantastiska uppsida så är han i mångt och mycket en barnrumpa…
Alltså, det är en svår situation. Vad händer om han inte levererar? Accepterar han en plats i en fjärdelajn? Vad skulle media säga? Vad säger Nashville?
