Czech Republic
Jakub Dvorak
Dvorak is a raw defenseman who still needs to grow into his large frame, but who could turn into a solid in-zone defender with a consistently strong first-pass.
Eduard Sale
Offensively gifted winger with great vision and puckhandling skills who can also create and finish his own scoring chances. Needs to continue to round out his off-puck game but has the upside to become a top-six NHL forward.
David Spacek
Strong two-way defenseman who is capable of putting up points but also playing great shutdown defensive hockey.
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.
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.
Jiri Patera
A raw, long-term project that has shown decent progression in terms of ability in the net.
Adam Raska
Depth winger who is an excellent backchecker and forechecker. Effort isn't an issue, skill is still growing.
Tomas Mazura
Big and raw forward with offensive talent and solid puck skills. Could be a top nine player that can contribute in a secondary scoring role in the future if everything goes right
Jakub Brabenec
Brabenec is a sneakily deceptive playmaker with an incredibly high hockey IQ.
Jan Bednar
A big and mobile goalie who is calm in net and also owns good reflexes. Has potential to become an NHL starter but has a long way to go before that becomes a realistic target for him.
