Slovakia WJC20 Nominations

I'm a bit surprised not to see Marek Bartanus of Kosice nominated but we're going to see unproductive Vladimir Kutny instead. Otherwise, Slovakia has strong goaltending (Valent or Halak can do a great job) and a very well-rounded defense.

Goalies: Jaroslav Halák (Lewiston MAINEiacs), Marek Novotný (Dukla Trenčín), Michal Valent (HC Sparta Praha).

Players: Branislav Fábry (HC Slovan Bratislava), Vladimír Dravecký, Tomáš Bulík, Richard Jenčík, Slavomír Bodnár (všetci HC Košice), Juraj Gráčik (Tri - City Americans), Ladislav Ščurko (Seattle Thunderbirds), Boris Valábik (Kitchener Rangers), Andrej Meszároš (Vancouver Giants), Vladimír Kútny (Val-d´Or Foreurs), Martin Segľa (PHK Prešov), Michal Sersen (Rimouski Océanic), Marek Zagrapan, Stanislav Lašček (obaja Chicouitimi Les Saguenées), Ivan Baranka (Everett Silvertips), Peter Mikuš, Juraj Líška, Peter Ölvecký, Marek Haščák (všetci Dukla Trenčín), Andrej Sekera, Štefan Ružička (Owen Sound Attack), Milan Hruška (HC Kimex VTJ Topolčany).

Reserves: Vladimír Kováč (Trenčín), Peter Ordzovenský (Spišská Nová Ves), Igor Baček (Slovan Bratislava), Miroslav Pupák (Nitra), Jaroslav Markovič (Tri-City Storm), Tomáš Petruška (Waterloo Black Hawks).

Bartanus is young and i think not as good to make a roster. The biggest surprise for me is no Blaho in roster.
