Tomas Chrenko was drafted No. 81 (Round 3) by the New York Rangers in the 2026 NHL Draft, a C from Slovakia currently with HK Nitra, Slovakia. He was the consensus #41 prospect pre-draft.

Scouting read
Chrenko is a scoring center. Shifty skilled forward, likely wing projection in North America (Smaht Scouting, Dan Haurin). The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. The bet is a useful middle-six piece if the tools keep scaling. He is more of a second-round conversation, with a #24-#41 public range across 5 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 24th among International skaters. For context, he ranks 2nd of 16 among SLOVAKIA U19 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
