“From all my viewings, he seems to find teammates with high-danger chances often. He’s quick, crafty and took very little time to adjust to playing against men in the top Czech league this year. I like how hard he works along the boards, although I wish he committed himself in the same way defensively. But that’s a bit nitpicky when you compare it to his results, and his international play has always been exciting.”

“Cihar is a hardworking forward who plays a responsible two-way game. His best asset is his accountability — whenever he steps over the boards, you can count on him to give maximum effort every shift. Cihar’s habits set him apart from other players in this year’s draft. He ties up sticks in his own end, sets picks for his linemates, and consistently closes out the point.”
