F Bruno Idzan - HV71 J18, J18 Region (2024 Draft)

[filip85]

Another goal today for J20, he is now 5+2 in 5 games.

 

[crobro]

Maybe the best forward in the tourney so Far and still only 16

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Has 8 points in only 4 games in the tournament - good for third overall in scoring and Croatia could very well earn themselves promotion again.

Idzan could very well be the next Kopitar type talent where he becomes a potential top draft pick from a non traditional hockey market.

Exiting things ahead for this kid.

 

[crobro]

I agree

The question is stay in Sweden or try the CHL specifically wester hockey league to take his development up a notch

What?

 

[Eye of Ra]

What?

Sweden is not top 5 in juniors, Canada, USA, Finland, Russia and Czechia has better junior programs.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

I think he will have a huge season in J20 Nationell next season and might even earn a call up to SHL. If he stays in Sweden that is.

 

[crobro]

All he’s done in the last three tournaments is lead his teams to victory he’s really building himself a pedigree so far at 16 years of age of being a winner.

I ran into a junior hockey scout at the Howie meeker arena in parksville bc he asked me where I was from I said Croatia and first thing he said was that Bruno Idzan is a real prospect and watched the entire tournament

Shits getting serious I had no idea Idzan is being mentioned here now in North America at only 16 years of age

I’m personally surprised to hear that you’re surprised.

Idzan is a legit threat for the first round next year - anyone that has watched him play should be able to see this.

 

[crobro]

1st Round!!!!!!!!

First I heard this I was thinking 3rd round

 

[SoundAndFury]

I mean I was as skeptical as the next guy because Croatia and all but let's face it, he is going PPG in Swedish juniors as a 16 y.o. His development curve at this point is not too dissimilar to someone like Dvorsky. There is still a lot of work to be done but so far he more or less exceeded expectations at every step too.

Not like he is a lock for the 1st round, but definitely within the realm of possibility.

 

[crobro]

Still can’t believe there is a Croatian hockey prospect this good at this age

 

[crobro]

Has he been playing since the WC

 

[crobro]

Is he injured?

 

[Joka12]

Is he injured?

He has been playing 5 matches for the U20 team after new year. 0 points so far in those games.

 

[crobro]

Thanks

 

[theslatcher]

Played on the top line for a while now with Påhlsson, & Polin.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

The future of croat hockey!

 

[crobro]

The future of croat hockey!

He sure is hopefully

 

[Halfy]

I’m curious if he comes to the CHL next year. Would be fun to have a Croatian born player in the league after some other unique countries have been coming over recently.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

 

[crobro]

How’s he projecting for next years draft?

 

[crobro]

8 points his last 5 games

After slow start seems to have turned things around

 

[crobro]

Now playing for Malmo Jrs
