Talent Analysis
At 6'2, 190 lbs. one of his strongest assets is his above-average size. Mrazek is willing to use his frame when battling along the walls and in the corners, but could clear the crease with a bigger tenacity. He is reliable in his own end as he doesn't suffer from glaring positional breakdowns and stays with his man. But he has to avoid wrong-timed offensive rushes and risky plays as he doesn't have the needed puckhandling skills to succeed in one-on-one situations. Mrazek possesses just average hands and isn't capable of many nifty stick moves. He sometimes tries to do too much with the puck, which leads to turnovers and odd-man rushes. Mrazek unleashes a rocket of a shot from the point, but his blasts needs to be more accurate. A solid penalty killing units player, he is a decent passer who needs to further develop his work on the offensive blue line, though. Mrazek needs to return to the play which garnered his respect in the last two seasons and realize that he won't ever develop into a two-way force, else he is a solid blueliner.
