There was high potential for Modry as an offensive defenseman, especially after he scored 42 points with Utica his first season
in North America.
Because of the depth within the Devils, he would never fully get to utilize all his tools with them. He had a down season with the
Senators before the LA Kings took a chance on him. It took a few seasons, most of them in the minors, but he would become a
mainstay with them, thanks large in part to his playmaking ability and improving his play in his own zone.
The Kings would let him go sign with Atlanta, though. They do manage to get him back in a trade with the Dallas Stars, but he
never regained his offensive form. He did bring an element of experience, which was useful in the Flyers' push for the
postseason in 07-08.
He went back to his homeland for 08-09 when he signed with HC Bili Tygri Liberec, the same team he played for during the
last lockout.
