Myatovic played a depth role on the top team in the WHL with the Thunderbirds, helping Seattle capture the league championship and go all the way to the Memorial Cup final.

He was one of six draft-eligible WHLers to hit the 30-goal mark in the regular season. In the postseason, he scored seven points in 19 contests.

Myatovic will return to the Thunderbirds next season.

What they're saying

"He's the kind of player who can play with a variety of linemate types, and in a variety of roles, and still have success because of his toolsy, smart game," wrote The Athletic's Scott Wheeler. "He projects as a reliable, useful bottom-six player."
