Slovakia
Marian Studenic
Possesses some intriguing tools, with a strong shot and above-average speed, however, his decision-making is questionable and he is at times a defensive liability.
Maxim Cajkovic
Slick winger with good puck skills and a goal-scorer’s brain, Cajkovic has the offensive tools to eventually carve himself out a role as a middle six NHL winger.
Pavol Regenda
A winger with wheels who has impressed wherever he gets placed in the lineup.
Simon Nemec
Strong two-way defender who controls the ice in all three zones. Has the potential to grow into a top pairing defenseman at the NHL level.
Oliver Okuliar
A skilled and shifty forward, Okuliar is an underrated talent who can work wonders with the puck on his stick. He could slot into an NHL middle six and add a mix of scoring and playmaking on a top powerplay unit if everything pans out.
Adam Sýkora
One of the best defensive forwards in his class, with decent puck skills and goal-scoring abilities. Hard worker with second-line upside if he can work on his lack of pace.
Maxim Štrbák
Simple, smooth-skating defensive defenseman with smart positioning and solid scanning habits. Will likely become a bottom-pair shutdown specialist, but could improve his way to a second-pair role.
Martin Pospisil
Multi-cat Middle-six potential. Big net front presence collecting PIM.
Dalibor Dvorský
Well-rounded offensive threat with great hands and shooting ability. Displays creativity and intelligence in his offensive attack with the potential to develop into a top-six NHL forward.
Alex Ciernik
Undersized winger with great speed and overall mobility who can create offense off the rush. Will need to add strength and diversify his attack but could grow into a playmaking winger capable of handling middle-six minutes in the NHL.
