Czech Republic
Tomas Poletin
An effective, hardworking player with potential as a middle-six forward who can contribute on the power play, but lacks high-end offensive skill and defensive awareness.
Radim Mrtka
Two-way defenseman with strong skating for his size.
Matej Blümel
Swift skating forward who is aggressive on the forecheck. Can add some secondary scoring while also being a threat on the penalty kill.
Nick Malik
A butterfly goalie with good size, superb reflexes, good puck skills, and NHL bloodlines. Has already had success at the men’s level at a young age. Potential to become a starting goalie at the NHL level.
Ondrej Pavel
Versatile centerman who will need to find a pro role to be NHL- and fantasy-relevant
David Rozsíval
A smart, efficient winger who can be trusted in all situations, boasting an elite shot and offensive upside, but lacks physicality. Has the potential to become a middle-six forward with special teams usage.
Matyas Melovsky
Bottom-six center who uses physicality to create offense. Strong playmaker with soft hands but a relatively weak shot. Can play both center and wing—added value in multi-cat leagues that value hits.
Jakub Málek
Tall, athletic overage-drafted goaltender with a proactive mindset. Uses his stick efficiently to block out the slot; has a low posture that makes him susceptible to shots from further out.
Tomas Machů
A strong, physical, rangy defenseman.
