Scouting Report
The Czech goaltender came to North America in his late 20s after successful seasons in his home country and the KHL, and wasted no time showing he could play in the big league. Caught with his right hand, an oddity that had advantages against a lot of shooters. Struggled with injuries for much of his stint in the National Hockey League; hip and groin issues ultimately ended his career.
Long Range Potential: Solid goaltender (when healthy).
