Player Notes
| Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Game Date | Date Viewed | Game Number |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | Right-handed shot playing the right side. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | So fluid on his skates, combining good powerful strides with high-quality edgework to allow for fast change of directions even at speed. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | Gets a pass in his own end, eyes to find the outlet, then powers through the neutral zone to be the first in on a chipped-in puck. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | He's fast. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | Super active stick at his own crease, he's never just setting up and waiting, but aggressively trying to take away any options from the netfront forwards. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | He's fast and agile enough to play blanketing man-to-man coverage all over the defensive zone if he has to. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | Passes off when he gets the puck, sometimes a little rushed and prone to just getting rid of it. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | In the offensive zone faceoff left dot, he's playing left point, gets the puck, gets pressured and tries to skate out of it trouble but turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | He wants the puck and will beavertail at times, but he's not great at handling it, and tends toward getting rid of it too early. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Note | Down by three late in the game, he gets to a loose puck at the offensive zone blue line, skates around a pressuring forward, finds space at the right circle and wrists the puck low under the goalies right pad. That was his best offensive moment of the game, by far. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
| Dominik Badinka | Summary | Tall blueliner with elite skating ability. Looks better in his own zone than he does as a puck carrier or transition defender, but if he refines that aspect of his game, he could become an excellent two-way NHL defender. Either way, his defensive play and skating should get him the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Malmo vs HV71 (SHL) | 1/17/2024 | 10/6/2024 | 10323 |
