| Role with the team: |
| Brought in as part of the youth movement, Michalek
is the newest Wild defenseman. |
| |
| Strengths: |
| Good skater, has strong offensive skills. Could be
compared to Sandis Ozolinsh. Has a big enough frame
to play in the National Hockey League. |
| |
| Weaknesses: |
| Has to apply his skills and size more
consistently to be effective in the NHL. Needs to show
his mental game is strong enough for the NHL level. |
| |
| Potential: |
| The Wild are slowing introducing Zybnek to the NHL
level and hoping that he will soon learn and develop
his skills to be a solid offensive defenseman with the
Minnesota Wild. Could be a powerplay specialist. |
