Talent Analysis
Hrabal is a blueliner with offensive upside but needs to improve in all areas of the game inculding strength and conditioning. Plenty of room on his frame to fill out some more.
During his breif appearance in Edmonton JUne 2006, Hrabal displayed an ability to dangle during breakaway drills. Not expected to be that sort of player during a game, his puckhandling ability stood out from his skill set as did his passing.
Future
Hrabal will return to play in Russia in 2007-08 and the Edmonton Oilers will retain his rights until June of 2008.
