This. Lots of guys who can be impact players at the pro level, but no guys you can expect to be impact players at the Olympic level.

Nik Hagman was top 10 in scoring at the 2010 Olympics. Short tournaments like this always have random guys step up and make an impact. There's no reason any number of the Czech's listed on that projected lineup couldn't step up and score a big goal or two in a key moment during the tournament.
