No. 2 defenseman: Filip Hronek -- Skilled enough to quarterback the power play, Hronek’s character is solid enough to be named captain of the 2017 Czech squad at the World Junior Championship. Scouts say he shows considerable ability to get the puck on net, from the point. He is also a fine passer and good, some say excellent, skater. Lighter than Dennis Cholowski, he needs to add size and strength. Still acclimating to North American ice surfaces, Hronek’s defensive zone coverage requires improvement.
