Michael Hrabal Scouting Reports

Arizona's 2nd round pick - 38th overall - in 2023
Freshman at the college level - UMass Amherst
Before departing for WJC to represent Team Czechia - had posted a 2.67 GAA and .905 save percentage
Massive in the net. Butterfly style. Takes up a ton of net. Difficult to beat from range when he's square to shooter. Moves well laterally. Travels too far from side to side at times - resulting in losing his crease for moments. Rebound control ranges. Above average gloves. Chance to be an NHL starter in time. Requires development time at NCAA - then minor pro - long range prospect.

Massive in the net. Plays between his posts. Almost never outside the blue paint. His size affords him the luxury of playing deep and having to travel less distance to make saves laterally. Rebound control is generally sound. Pucks rarely bound off him resulting in second chances against. There are moments he does open up move side to side tracking the play - with his stick leading behind - and pucks beating him between the legs. Low blocker/above the pad is also an area that needs attention. Attractive foundation to build upon overall.

Massive goaltender who takes up a ton of net. Leans butterfly / hybrid. Pucks, sometimes simply hit him through traffic. Crease composure and positioning has improved. Much more in tune with his angles and how far too push laterally / getting set and square to the play
Rebound control has generally improved as well. There are times his pads are too active kicking pucks out for second chances against - especially on stick side. Good gloves overall. Average playing the puck. Battles to make second saves but scrambling is not an area of strength. Solid foundation to build upon. Very likely first goalie taken in 2023.
