The Detroit Red Wings have added to their depth with defenseman Libor Sulak.

He was signed to a two-year entry level contract, a week after general manager Ken Holland was among the Wings personnel who scouted Sulak at the 2017 IIHF World Championship. He played in just two games for his native Czech Republic, but they were the last round-robin game (where Sulak had an assist against Switzerland) and the quarterfinal loss to Russia. Front office member Jiri Fischer, who does some scouting as part of his duties and who is a native Czech, saw Sulak numerous times before the tournament.

“We think there is something there to work with,” Holland told the Free Press. “I think he has a chance to play for the Red Wings.”

Sulak, 23, also has a contract with Lahti of Finnish hockey league. He’ll either play there or Detroit next season, not with the Grand Rapids Griffins. Lahti, 6-foot-2, 207 pounds, has spent the past two seasons playing for Orli Znojmo, a Czech team that competes in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga, the top professional league in Austria. He was fourth on the team with 28 points and a team-best plus-19 rating.

Sulak is expected to be at development camp in July.
