Martin Erat and Jiri Hudler are both on a five man list of possible replacements for injured Czech Olympian Valdimir Sobotka. Since Sobotka was ruled out for the Sochi games this weekend with a leg injury, Czech Head Coach Alois Hadamczik has a big decision to make. Jiri Hudler appears to be the most noteworthy Czech snub from the team (42 points in 55 games for Calgary), however Hadamczik said the team might be looking for player who is more defensive and physical to take Sobotka's spot. Thus, Erat (who has 0 goals in 47 games this season) is a candidate along with Czech league and KHL players Tomas Rolinek, Jan Kovar and Zbynek Irgl.
