I'll be very surprised if anyone else from NHL will join our team (Havlat, Z. Michalek etc would be great ofc) ... maybe Frolik, but who knows + and lets hope Červenka, Škoula, Klepíš will join after KHL final
My team with confirmed players:
Petružálek - Plekanec - Tlustý
Průcha- Červenka - Hemský
Tenkrát - Novotný - Kašpar
Frolík/Klepiš - Nedvěd/Kreps - Vincour
Koukal
D: will be combinations of Blaťák, Čáslava, Nakládal, Škoula, Kutlák, Krajíček, Němec + Krejčík

I think Elias would also come if NJ is eliminated, he has always came if he didn't have some serious reasons. Also, there's a chance that Michalek would be available. It would be awesome if there was Michalek - Elias - Havlat line again. But I know it's still faaar away.
Any word on whether or not Smid or Havlat will come?
Also, is Vincour with the team currently?
No word on Smid so far, he had some neck problem as far as I know. We'll know more about Havlat soon I think, he'll be contacted for sure. Vincour is with the team. He already played a preparation game against Slovakia and had nice first assist there. There is a good chance he will make the team.
I know some fans don't like him, but I'm not in that group. I don't mind his decision just because we're going to have solid team anyway, some other player will get the spot and play great, no doubt!
