History

2006-07: - Kytnar played in two leagues this season - in 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.  
                  - Appeared in the U-18 WJC in Finland where he was a key player for the Slovaks notching 7 points in 6 games.

Kytnar was chosen 7th overall in the CHL Import Draft and will play for the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL for 2007-08.

Talent Analysis

Kytnar is a two-way, creative center who can score goals.  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 this past season 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.

Future

In the future, he could be a little version of Michal Handzus.
