History
2006-07: Kytnar played in two leagues; the Slovak Junior 1 League and the Slovak Senior 1 League. He has played 27 games in the second Slovak Senior League and played very well. Also appeared in the U-18 WJC in Finland where he was a key player for the Slovaks notching seven points in six games. Drafted in the fifth-round by Edmonton at the 2007 Draft and was chosen 7th overall in the CHL Import Draft by the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL.
2007-08: Played in a defensive role with Kelowna (WHL) and after a lengthy adjustment period to North America, began to get comfortable on the ice as well. Ended the year with only 22 points and was dealt to the Saskatoon Blades in the off-season.
Talent Analysis
Kytnar is a two-way, creative center who can score goals but is seen more as a safe, defensive player. He is not very big (6'0), but he uses his body well. Good in front of the net, but he could stand to be more aggressive.
He had very impressive stats during his draft year especially in the plus/minus column where he boasts an incredible +78. His whopping 91 points in 53 games suggests offensive ability to be further developed but must be taken with a grain of salt when quality of competition is taken into consideration. In the WHL he was hardly a factor in an offensive sense.
