No one interested in him? Bigger version of Krejci. Sounds good to me. Can you ever have too many centres?

You can never have too many centers. Here was Button's thoughts on Chlapik.

C Filip Chlapik- Filip is an all around centerman
- not going to wow you with end to end rush or jaw dropping skill
- smart and competitive
- in the guts of the action
- willing to play defence as much as offence
- these type of centers find their ways onto successful teams
- a player like Pavel Zacha came in with a lot of hype and right now don't see a lot of difference between Zacha and Chlapik
- a team with 2 first rounders might decide to pass on Zacha and get a similar player in the late 1st round with Chlapik
- comparison: Antoine Vermette but not as good a skater as Vermette. An all around center - not a #1 center but a center that rounds out your group
