Czech Republic
Martin Hugo Haš
Two-way defenseman with great size and very good shot. Upside to become a number four defenseman.
Patrik Hamrla
Great size and his ability to move within the crease has seriously helped his development. Might be a little capped in his path to the NHL right now but has true 1B starter potential.
Matej Pekar
Plays a heavy, gritty style. Strong two-way game with sound defensive play and stick work. Needs to improve skating and puck skills.
Matyas Sapovaliv
Big-bodied playmaker with good vision and puck protection skills. Will need to improve his mobility and processing speed as he matures but has middle-six NHL potential.
Martin Kaut
All-around winger with third-line upside, fourth line most likely
Marek Alscher
Big, physical defensive defenceman who does not score often but shows promise in transition. He could become a bottom-pairing type at the NHL level.
Jiri Patera
A raw, long-term project that has shown decent progression in terms of ability in the net.
Jáchym Kondelík
Huge power forward with upside to become a third line center in the NHL.
Jakub Galvas
Don’t expect big offensive numbers but Galvas has the talent to be a top-four defender in the NHL.
Libor Hajek
A sturdy two-way defenseman who supports the play well and could be capable of moderate contributions in the NHL.
