Czech Republic
Jiri Patera
A raw, long-term project that has shown decent progression in terms of ability in the net.
Mikulas Hovorka
A 6-6 right-handed defenseman who excels with his stick and can drive the transition game. His size is one of his greatest assets and his skating helps him have a high floor/low ceiling at the NHL level being a potential 4th or 5th defenseman in the NHL.
Jakub Brabenec
A playmaking forward with a high hockey IQ who has lacked offensive production in his professional career.
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.
Stanislav Svozil
A defensive blueliner who possesses all of the tools to play an above-average offensive game if he can put it all together, giving him the chance to be a well-rounded top-four defender.
Ondřej Kos
Smart two-way winger with raw skill and physique. Adding muscle and leaning into his playmaking game could see him develop into a reliable third-liner.
Lukas Parik
A large framed, butterfly style goaltender.
Jakub Milota
An athletic goaltender who anticipates shots well but needs to work on his rebound control.
David Spacek
Strong two-way defenseman who is capable of putting up points but also playing great shutdown defensive hockey.
Petr Hauser
Big-bodied, energetic winger with decent playmaking tools and an intelligent game. Needs to use his body to his advantage more, but could develop into a bottom-six power forward.
