139. New Jersey Devils – Miroslav Satan C HC Slovan Bratislava U20 (Slovakia U20)

SUMMARY: We know what you’re all thinking but yes this indeed is the son of former NHL’er Miroslav Satan. He has shown in the faceoff circle against lesser developed and skilled centers that he can beat them in the faceoff dot. However versus Finland, USA, and Sweden Satan needs to improve against those super skilled, really strong leveraging centers. That is room for Miroslav to grow in the muscle mass department, and with that size and reach he does forecheck really well, and zips really fast around the boards looking to poke the puck loose. He is a disciplined player who doesn’t go into the box often. He does throw the body around and is a high volume shooter, he just has to get more of those on the net. From the skillset this center can improve in the faceoff circle with the right developmental, and skills coaches. Miroslav can also look to be a natural winger where he has a lot of speed and can playmake but should focus more on powering his way and getting more versatility in more roles as he gets primed up for a future in the NHL. – Joseph Stanislau

The son of former NHL player Miroslav Šatan, Šatan Jr, has a long way to go to become fantasy-relevant. There is no need to roster him in any league unless he starts to produce offensively with the Spirit in the Ontario Hockey League during the 2025-26 season.
