Who from this roster is likely to be drafted, outside of Vrana and Kostalek?

 

[Babula]

David Pastrnak (2014 eligible) and Pavel Zacha (2015 eligible) are ranked as 1st or at worst as 2nd round pick at this moment.
d-man Filip Pyrochta (2014 eligible) is also promising prospect.

 

[VictorLustig]

Pastnak and Vrana are incredibly skilled forwards, that's all I know about this Czech team. How does it compare to previous years?

 

[Babula]

94' team had no good results at Hlinka 2011 tournament.
WJC 2012 in Czech republic. Our defense was pretty bad last year (Knot,Sulak,Houfek etc.) and there were not star prospects in attack. (only Vrana as 2 year younger) Soumelidis,Tomecek,Chlapik,Machac etc. They all failed in my opinion.

95' team beat USA and Russia at Hlinka 2012 and lost to Canada in semifinal.
WJC 2013. So I believe, that 95' team will be a way better...

Outside of those mentioned by Jeez, I'd say some chance might have also Andrlik, Masin or Zdrahal.

 

[Czechexpert]

Who from this roster is likely to be drafted, outside of Vrana and Kostalek?

I would add another two names, Klok and Kase(2014 eligible).

 

[smitty10]

Thanks for the responses guys.

2014 sounds like a promising class for the Czech Republic.

Well, I kinda like it. Looking forward to see what KoÅ¡ťÃ¡lek, Pyrochta, Vrána, Pastrňák, Kubalík or Zacha can do.
I think it should be better team than last year. But that's mostly because of those 96' players. Goalies looking weak though. Do you agree guys? I guess some others here know better.

 

[Babula]

Wonder what is answer. Anyway, who is supposed to be goalie n.1 ? Svoboda ?

 

[Czechexpert]

Hard to say, we only have three No. 3 goalies . Svoboda will probably start though.

 

[cato0009]

Has anyone heard if Vrana has any interest at all in coming to CHL next year?

 

[Schnurvel]

Has anyone heard if Vrana has any interest at all in coming to CHL next year?

If he hasn't changed his mind since october, it's a no. He also signed a pro contract with Linköping around Christmas, which probably means he's staying in Sweden.
