I guess there is just not space for Hynek Zohorna.
Based on preliminary games, I think the lineup could look something like this:
Kubalík - Kovář - Vrána
Chytil - Zohorna - Zadina
Sekáč - Hanzl - Radil
Lenc - Špaček - Stránský
Blumel, Smejkal, Musil, Flek
It's certainly nice to see so many good players.
I also noticed our team is very young! Definitely took youth over some more established guys which is the right play IMO... Blumel, Smejkal, Musil, Flek, Kubalik, Vrana, Chytil, Spacek, Stransky are all under 25 to my knowledge?
Even our vets... Kovar, Zohorna, Sekac, Hanzl, Radil and Lenc are all close to 30.
I'm curious how he runs it... I'd like to see Spacek in top 6 surrounded by the NHL players personally. However, I have a Spacek Bias.lol
I think this is close to what Pesan is thinking as well... Lenc, Spacek and Stransky seem a lock to start together. Same with Sekac, Hanzl and Radil (which is a killer 3rd line for a tourney like this). Not sure how he mixes up the Top 6. Definitely want Kovar with either Kubalik or Vrana. Maybe try Chytil at C? I think I'd prefer Kubalik and Vrana split up in top 6.
I think Spacek and Zadina are lined up to have a very good tourney.
Happy for Blumel to make the team but don't expect to see him much.
