Take a look at this list. You're definitely missing Novy, and Zabrodsky and Hlinka are probably stronger candidates than some of the ones on the list.

I don't think Zabrodsky has ever played in the NHL.

Novy had only one NHL season but yes he can be on the list because of Canada Cup '76

Hlinka played in the NHL only at the end of his career. Was he a significant force at the Canada Cup?

Best HFBoards user name is at least on that list (dontcry4mejanhrdina).
Jiri, not Jan

If you're limiting this to the NHL, you're taking a very narrow scope and missing a lot. This isn't the history of the NHL board, but the history of hockey board. Anything that doesn't consider Cold War hockey in the Eastern bloc can't possibly give a good take on Czech, Slovak, Russian hockey history. The thread says it's all time, it doesn't claim to be post Berlin Wall.

I'd kindly settle for a tall glass of milk.
Who in your opinion are the 2 best Czech centers judging by their NHL and Best-on-Best international career?

Pick two, rank the others.
I'm starting to warm up to your posting style. I'm anxiously awaiting a swerve, like throwing Mario Lemieux's name onto the list just for kicks. Or Czech centers like Jan Vesely or George Zidek.
