Czech import who is in his first season in North America. He is a skilled winger who is willing to work the wall and dirty areas to win puck battles.Possesses a strong hard shot which he lets go very quickly. In Czech Republic, he played in the men's pro league at 16. Possesses a hard shot and a willingness to crash the front., and has playmaking skills. Skates with strong stride and has good balance and a quick burst. Handles the puck well but is not a free style creator, but more of a guy who can get open and score if you get it to him. Needs more girth and continued development in the defensive zone. His older brother Tomas, was a Columbus pick. He was selected to the roster for the World Junior Under-18 Tournament in April.
