Yeah as it stands, here are the available Czechs from NHL teams:
FLA: Fleischmann, Kuba
TB: Gudas
CAR: Tlusty
PHI: Voracek
NJ: Elias, Zidlicky
WPG: Pavelec
COL: Hejduk, Vincour, Hejda
EDM: Hemsky, Smid
CGY: Cervenka, Horak, Hudler
PHX: Hanzal, Vrbata, Klesla, Michalek
Though last year, the Czech team used 8 forwards from outside the NHL. It'd be nice to see Horak get the chance, but I don't see it happening.
