Not counting Marian Hossa, Slovakia has 16 players currently signed to NHL contracts. I'm curious what thoughts the respective fan bases have on these players, and what the expectations are for this season and the future?
Forwards:
Richard Panik (Arizona)
Peter Cehlarik (Boston)
Martin Bakos (Boston)
Tomas Tatar (Montreal)
Marian Studenic (New Jersey)
Marian Gaborik (Ottawa)
Marko Dano (Winnipeg)
Defensemen:
Zdeno Chara (Boston)
Andrej Sekera (Edmonton)
Christian Jaros (Ottawa)
Erik Cernak (Tampa Bay)
Martin Marincin (Toronto)
Martin Fehervary (Washington)
Goaltenders:
Jaroslav Halak (Boston)
Patrik Rybar (Detroit)
Peter Budaj (Los Angeles)
* forward Tomas Jurco is a free agent
* defenseman Michal Cajovsky is attending the Carolina Hurricanes camp on a PTO
* forward Radovan Bondra is taking part in the Blackhakws camp and has an AHL contract with Rockford.
* defenseman Michal Ivan is attending the LA Kings camp.
* defenseman Martin Bodak attended Vegas rookie camp. I suspect he will join the Chicago Wolves training camp.
