Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2006-07: He dominated the Czech Junior league with nine goals and 24 points in 42 games, including an impressive +32 rating with 72 penalty minutes.
2007-08: Mikus saw time with two clubs this season, appearing in 21 games with HK VSR (SLO) and another 14 with Dukla Trencin (SLO). He netted one goal and four assists with HK VSR and another three assists with Dukla. He also represented Slovakia at the World Junior Championships, scoring a goal and two assists in six games with the club.
Talent Analysis
A big, imposing rearguard with all-around skills, Mikus could prove to be a steal for the Leafs if he hits his big-time upside. With an impressive reach and good puck skills for a man his size, Mikus will have to fill out his 6'4 185-pound frame in order to have any chance of success at the next level.
Future
It may be a few years before any of the results are seen. The native of Slovakia will continue to develop overseas but with good vision to play a puck-moving game and a good point shot, it may not be long before he is more well-regarded in prospect circles.
