D Luka Zorko - Atlanty Mytischi 2, MHL (2015 undrafted)

[UnknownNasty]

Has anyone seen or heard about this Luka Zorko? He's a 6'5 210 lbs D from Slovenia (Anze Kopitar's country. From his size and his stats in the MHL, he seems to be a stay at home D, not sure if he's physical because by his stats in the MHL, he'd project to be a 100 PIM guy. The CSS has him as a potential first round talent. Does anyone else have information about this guy?

Anyone know anything about this guy. Seems like he was ranked highly at one point. Probably due to his size?

IIRC, Zorko was placed very early on CSS's futures list. Harkins added this in the press release: “He’s a big defenceman who flew under the radar playing in the Russian junior league and finished the season on Central Scouting’s European draft list (120th),” said Prince George Cougars General Manager, Todd Harkins. “He’s a steady, mobile defenceman who plays a hard game, defends well and moves the puck efficiently.”

His KHL rights shifted from SKA to Spartak too per this release.
