Tomas Kudelka (2005), D, 6-2, 178 lbs. L
Solid intangibles but needs work on the little things .. big and skates well .. smooth and agile backwards and moves effectively laterally .. quick turns and adequate acceleration .. top end speed is not tremendous but has not been an issue .. jumps into the rush and shows good poise while at it .. offensive creativity is impressive but is sometimes careless when moving the puck .. has a quick release on the slapper but accuracy is a bit lacking .. not an aggressive player .. savvy and sees the ice well .. struggles at clearing the crease and is overall inconsistent playing the man .. good attitude and works hard .. gets the job done.

Tomas Magusin (2005), D, 6-5, 198 lbs. L
Could get drafted because of his size .. sub-par skater needs to work on his stride .. does not accelerate well and consistently gets beaten positionally by quick forwards .. turns and lateral movements are rough .. needs to add lower body strength which would improve his speed .. stays back in his zone; mostly avoids rushing the puck .. decent puck skills .. has a nice reach that he uses when playing the man .. mostly mistake-free in his own end .. vision is very limited .. slowly shedding the awkwardness that had plagued him.
Martin Prikryl (2006), D, 6-2, 183 lbs. L
Erratic puck mover is 87-born .. skates with a powerful stride but must improve his ability .. slow on his turns but balance is sound .. puck skills are only average .. passing accuracy is strongly lacking .. average vision .. has a howitzer from the point, but needs work on getting it on net .. keeps things simple defensively .. positionally sound and takes advantage of his big frame along the boards, though not a big-time hitter .. effective at clearing the crease.
Jakub Karlicek (2005), D, 6-0, 176 lbs. L
Won’t get drafted .. stride lacks crispness though he gets from one point to the other .. does not fall behind the play .. okay speed backwards and on his turns .. calm in puck possession and when waiting for plays to develop .. plays with his head up but overlooks passing lanes at times .. not much creativity .. makes clean passes with both sides of the stick .. exhibits an accurate shot from the point, but not hard .. works diligently down low .. decent positionally but does not possess a mean streak .. does not get his body involved.
Pavel Suk (2005), RW, 5-10, 168 lbs. L
Sound skater with good top-end speed but acceleration is only so-so .. gets knocked on his posterior too often .. good stickhandler but often loses possession in traffic .. prone to panic decisions with the puck when pressed by an opponent .. uses a combination of wrister and snap shot .. commitment to defensive duties is above-average .. willing to muck for pucks along the boards .. bigger guys tend to overwhelm him.
Daniel Vanek (2005), LW, 5-9, 162 lbs. L
A quick, elusive player .. skates with a quick, choppy stride and constantly keeps his feet moving .. sound agility and good acceleration .. light on his feet and struggles to keep his posterior off the ice .. very offensively minded .. good stickhandler and uses a short stick enabling him to deke effectively through traffic .. intensity level rises in the offensive zone .. quick release on the wrist shot .. slap shot lacks enough power to be considerably dangerous .. uses diminutive frame to his advantage to avoid the physical types .. not a good enough finisher to be an interesting prospect.
Jan Bula (2005), C, 5-10, 178 lbs. R
Good skater but often lazy .. adequate balance and quick bursts of speed .. makes nifty moves with the puck .. deft passer but prone to overhandling the puck .. quick wrister with good accuracy .. struggles to find the net with his slap shots .. needs to be more physically assertive .. completely over his head in heavy traffic .. often stops skating and becomes a bystander in his own end .. shoots right.
Adam Miksovsky (2005), RW, 5-10, 165 lbs. L
Finesse player makes things happen on the powerplay .. skates with a fluid stride .. sharp turns and exceptional speed .. quick feet but lower body needs more bulk .. likes to look for breakaway opportunities .. okay hands .. drives the net consistently .. has a quick release on the wrister .. average vision and sometimes erratic passing .. takes some shifts off; sometimes lazy .. sub-par defensive awareness .. needs to use his body more in traffic.
Michal Psurny (2005), RW, 6-0, 172 lbs. R
Went undrafted last year (86-born prospect) .. good top-end speed but stride lacks fluidity .. soft hands; can distribute and finish .. finds the open man well .. fires strong, accurate wrist shots .. works hard on most shifts .. raw defensively and very skinny .. good attitude but does not use his size.
Stanislav Balan (Nsh), C, 6-1, 168 lbs. L
Skinny and needs to get his frame more involved .. fluid stride, good quickness .. executes plays at high velocity .. deft playmaker sees the ice well .. good hand-eye coordination .. quick release on the wrister .. helps out defensively and sticks to his man effectively .. does not drive the net enough to be a consistent offensive force and mostly gets neutralized when he tries.
