This draft year has three "Can't Miss" d-men in the top ten, according to most scouts, but Zboril is an interesting possibility just outside of that group. Fast, mobile, and with excellent "hockey sense", he had a lot of success in the Czech Republic, then made the leap to the Q this season, where he put up respectable numbers in both the regular season and Saint John's brief playoff appearance.
