Photo credit: Christian Bonin/TSGphoto.com MAY 12, 2021 - TORONTO ONTARIO CANADA - The Toronto Marlies, AHL affiliate of the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs, take on the Laval Rocket (NHL Montreal Canadiens) at the Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario.Filip Král is making a permanent move to North America this year as he tries to show he still has NHL potential. After two seasons in the Czech top division of men’s hockey, sandwiching three full seasons with Spokane in the WHL, Král will be joining the Toronto Marlies for a full season at the age of 22. The fifth round pick from 2018 isn’t old for a defensive prospect, but the clock will be ticking fast once he gets going with the Marlies.
