Jakub Nakladal was an...interesting...pick up. It's not often that European defenders come over to North America at the age of 27 and get signed by a NHL team. He must have something that really stood out to even be considered.

I wanted to know more about Nakladal, so I spoke to a person who knows more about European hockey than anyone else I know.
