Straka was taken in the second round (55th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets but did not sign a contract, eventually signing with the Flyers as a free agent on April 11, 2013.

The 24-year-old has spent the bulk of the last three seasons with the AHL Phantoms.

He had two assists in a three-game stint with the Flyers last year
