ST. PAUL, Minn. — Entering the NHL Draft this summer, the scouting report on Martin Misiak was that he offered good size (6-2) and good skating but less certainty in other areas.
The Blackhawks were unperturbed, selecting Misiak with the 55th overall pick at the back of the second round. The same traits that made others see the 18-year-old Slovakian forward as difficult to evaluate made the Hawks instead see him as a versatile asset.
