Ondrej Kase is a 24 year-old Czech right winger plying his trade with the Anaheim Ducks, who it’s safe to say grabbed a late-round steal picking him in the seventh round (205th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. For the Boston Bruins, he could be the perfect foil to his countryman David Krejci on the second line.
Few seventh round draft picks tend to make it to the NHL, even fewer hang around for more than a game or two. Ondrej Kase is a rare case of the player that surprises everyone. Nearing 200 NHL games and with 96 points to his name, he has shown he has the ability at this level.
