Leaman plans to make Chmelař a central figure in the Providence lineup this coming season, likely as a winger who plays substantial minutes in the top six. His point production should continue to rise, but one scout pointed to a below average right-handed shot as one reason that his scoring upside may be capped.

Most of his goals will come from gaining position and leverage in the high-danger areas of the ice, which Chmelař seems keenly aware of.

"(My coaches) tell me all the time, ‘Use your size to get to the net,'" he said. "The game is hard, so I think if you have a big frame, it helps. I want to embrace it in my game."
