Jakub Dvorak

Huge Czechia blueliner who played 30 minutes a game in the World Junior Under-17's and has rapidly advanced his game are minute munching horse on the back end. Has excellent mobility for a big defender, and isn't shy to lead a rush or jump in as a trailer to support it. There are not many chinks in his armor already and this kid could easily creep up into the first round. He is calm with the puck, makes good outlets, and in his end he makes sure his big stick is disrupting offensive plans. He does go out of his way to plaster rushers as much as use his size to win puck battles, and pin and seal on his man. But if he checks you, it is a solid one. There is lots of room for his frame to fill in.
