Talent Analysis
Nestrasil's ability to make plays at high speed allows him to surprise his opponents and catch opposing defensemen flat-footed. At 6'3 and 206lbs pounds, Nestrasil has decent size, but he still has some work to do in adapting to the physical style in North America and playing a more complete game.
Future
Projects as a top sixth player with power forward tendencies. He will try to crack the Grand Rapids roster, but could be sent down to the ECHL with the overage spots taken up on his junior team.
