Hertl progressing with Slavia, national team

[HF Article]

Two years ago, little was known about Tomáš Hertl, then a 16-year-old center for the junior team of Slavia Prague.

From being a top player in the U-18 category and an above-average forward in U-20 category, to recording almost a point in every game, he became the top upcoming NHL Draft prospect from the Czech Extraliga, turning heads of not only North American scouts but a huge number of Czech hockey fans and journalists.… read more

i don't remember such a talented kid playing czech men's league in the age of 18 or 19 ... he's now 12+9 in 28 matches (best from his team) and his Slavia (they are quite weak team on paper) is in the first half of the table (7th from 14 teams)

you did so well you drafted him ... on 17th position

I think he's the Extraliga's best teenager in last 10 years. Hudler was better than him. The thing is though, Hertl is much better suited to NA game.
