If he is a second rounder, you are shooting low. Third rounder sounds good. From your analysis of his skills. If you are underestimating them, or they can be worked on, then maybe a prospect. Can the skating be fixed?. I mean, I remember years ago when skating coaches first became a craze, don't seem to hear about them much any more. I do like the high motor player who can be physical over the one-trick pony prospects (Alexander Holtz) who lack that intensity. Also like North American players (as I have stated before) as team has more influence in development than those overseas. (I know you don't seem to think it is an issue, but I would rather the team have control and have the guy available, than not.)

His skills can probably be worked on — Czata can definitely use to get with Jesper Bratt’s skating coach, Daniel Broberg, lol. Shooting can always be improved. His hockey IQ is high enough where the offense can round out with time, I think.
