Filip Hornek quickly making name for himself among Red Wings prospects

TRAVERSE CITY - Chris Chelios had trouble with the prospect's name.

But there was no question the Hall of Fame defensemen likes what he's seen from one of the Detroit Red Wings second-round picks in the 2016 NHL.

"The Czech kid that finished up -- I can't pronounce his name, starts with an H," Chelios said during the Red Wings annual development camp at Center Ice Arena. "Hronek, really good in the hour that we spent here. It's amazing again, you see the speed and the agility some of the defensemen, how quick they are."

To paraphrase James Bond, it's Hronek.
