Scouting read
Novotny is a scoring winger with a Offensive Forward, Sniper, Two-Way Forward profile. Rugged, heavy forward; North American transition concerns eased by 30-goal year (Daily Faceoff, Steven Ellis). He also drew a 2026 NHL Combine invite. The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. If the pace holds, the upside is real top-line offense. He is in the first-round mix, with a #10-#23 public range across 16 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 14th among North American skaters. For context, he ranks 270th of 1,196 among OHL U19 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
