Chmelař has had a decent start to the season, contributing with 2 goals and 3 assists. He is engaged at both ends of the ice and controls play effectively, but has struggled defensively in the Wolf Pack’s zone. There are concerns about his comfort with the puck and how well he is adjusting to the head coach's system. It would be beneficial for him to receive more special teams time and to spend less time in defensive situations as the season progresses.
