Slovakia
Juraj Pekarčík
A potential middle-six forward with good defensive awareness who skates well, he needs to develop his offensive game.
Viliam Kmec
A strong all-around defenseman with pro-ready size.
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.
