Filip Král

Age: 21

H/W:  6’1″/176 lbs

POS:  D

2021 Team: HC Kometa Brno (Czech)

Drafted: 149th Overall (Round 5) 2018 NHL Entry Draft

Král in English translates to “King” and that’s exactly what the Czech defenseman Filip Král has been in a sneaky good season with the Czech league.

Last season, Král put up 49 points in 53 games with the Spokane Cheifs of the WHL. With the pandemic, Král decided to stay in his home country this year and play with HC Kometa Brno.

Playing with Brno, Král put up 15 assists and 21 points in 48 games. In 7 games in the Czech playoffs, Král has put up 5 points in 7 games while playing upwards of 25:30 a night. His team is currently down 2-0 in their second-round series versus Trinec (courtesy Hokej.cz).

With the impending end to Král’s Czech season and having signed a contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs in April of 2020, it is expected that he will come to North America to join the Marlies where he can continue his development in the Leafs system.
