They don't have enough NHL players and you knew it before opening the thread.

Its not just about that.

Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

4 was always a dumb number. Should have been 6 if you wanted a mini tournament.

I'll ignore the premise but Czechs could have sent a team with AHL guys

It's not IIHF so Xhekaj and Ludvig could have joined Rutta, Gudas and Hornek. Toss in Jiricek, Spacek and Svozil from AHL and we are done (or Kral).

We have enough NHL forwards
Pasta, Necas, Hertl, Kampf, Nosek, Lauko, Kulich, Zacha, Palat, Chytil, Vrana, Ivan, Klapka
We have more than enough NHL goalies

not saying we would've won with this but it was possible.
