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

[SoundAndFury]

Idzan is a fraud. He won't get even college commitment.

Hate to be that guy but the track record of your proclamations of this sort is... how do I put this delicately.. terrible.

Your vikendicu must be in a really bad neighborhood if your willing to bet it Idzan being passed over.

 

[Appleyard]

I am willing to bet my house and summer cottage nobody will draft him. He simply doesn't have quality for NHL. He will be "mickey-mouse" player at NCAA D1 level and later play in leagues like Erste (HUN/ROM), Oberliga, Optibet, etc...

I mean, that is unrealistic really. Maybe he goes undrafted (but very few +1 overagers in USHL who get 1.2 P/GP or more go undrafted unless tiny)...

But in AlpsHL he was outscoring guys who had been top scorers in DEL2 (and Erste Liga)... in Huard and Livingstone yet he will end up in the German 3rd tier? (Oberliga)...

as for Optibet (Latvia) I mean, that is not a dissimilar level from AlpsHL when consider the transfers between the two.

And he is 18, so of course will get better unless his career is ended by injury.

In my defence, some of my predicitions are still wide open. Sisak still may shrink into bankrupcy - inflation in Croatia is very high and will get higher. U18 and Men's WC's are yet to come.

oh you didn't say that Sisak will "eventually" give up, you said repeatedly it was already done deal mid December:

According to croatian media Sisak announced bankrupcy and will not finish season in Alps league.

It was on local, not mainstream media. Tomorrow at noon will be an official announcment.

and in the meantime other teams gave up and Sisak still applied for next season.

Hot takes aren't bad per se, they happen, but having such a negative view on everything in good in croatian hockey is sad.

I mean, I guess you're trolling, but you as a Croat finally have a guy that looks like a lock future PRO player and you spend your time saying how he's a "fraud"? Is this a message you want to be stored for eternity? That one time Croatia had a PPG player in USHL, you were the guy saying he is a "fraud"?

And mind you, you're not saying he's "playing above expectations" or something, you call him a "fraud".

Everything he achieved this season was his own accomplishment: he was the driver of his line/team in Sisak and I don't see he's feeding of elite players now either. What the future holds, we can only guess.
