This 6-foot-6 undrafted defenseman is looking to make his mark in the NHL, expecting to sign a contract soon to move over from the Czechia league.
With the NHL's playoffs about to begin, not many people are thinking about free agency and contract signing, besides potential young players getting the call after their NCAA seasons are over. However, it appears that Mikulas Hovorka is getting interest from NHL teams, and could sign a contract imminently.
