2018 NHL Draft prospect profile: Martin Kaut climbed up the rankings with a breakthrough year

One of the most improved players of this past season is Martin Kaut. The Czech winger has evolved from a pure shooter that waited in the offensive zone for a shot with a quick release on the edge of the slot, to someone who makes plays is a possession driver and has an overall impact on the game.

Birthplace: Brno, Czech Republic
Shoots: Right
Position: RW
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 174 lbs
Youth team: HC Zdar nad Sazavou, Czech Republic
Pro team: HC Dynamo Pardubice, Extraliga

Kaut really broke through at the World Juniors playing on a line with Martin Necas and Filip Zadina.
