Highly touted Jakub Kindl has the makings of an all-around star along the blue line. Kindl moves very well for a big man and owns excellent offensive potential. The young Czech has both the imposing size and excellent skating ability that scouts love. He has the capability to run the power play and displays plenty of offensive strengths. Last season, as a member of Pardubice (Czech Jr.), Kindl picked up 4 goals and added 14 assists in 48 games played. He also a turned in a +5 plus/minus rating and notched 108 penalty minutes. Kindl skates and moves the puck very well. In spite of his youth, Kindl is very mature, and has benefited greatly from the experience of playing against opponents two and three years older. Kindl will play for the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL this season, which should help him adapt quickly to the North American game.
