Radoslav Illo

Radoslav Illo

Radoslav Illo was picked in the 5th round, he is definitely a project but in the 6th round that’s pretty much what you have to choose from.

Illo is a Slovak born player and has a nice 6’0 frame that he can fill into, not much is known he spent part of last year hurt due to an arm injury. The two things that people talk about with him that have watched Illo play, his skating and his shot he had 21 goals in 47 games for the Tri City Storm of the USHL last year. He’s a smart guy with good grades and will likely spend 1 more year in the USHL before playing in the NCAA.
He should be apart of this years Slovak WJC team which will give us a good idea of where he’s at, being a 5th rounder he’s a long shot to make it but with his size, shot, skating and smarts, he may be able to eventually carve out an NHL career.
