F Matija Milicic - KHL Zagreb, Croatia (2014 undrafted)

[crobro]

Out of CROATIA he played on the world championship senior squad as a 19 year old and impressed.

Great hands great size and very moldable

Worth a late 6 or 7th round pick , there are diamonds in the rough in non traditional hockey markets.

He plays in the Austrian U20 league and in Croatia and impressed in lower division WJ U20 and lower division WC..... Not worth any pick or even consideration sorry.

 

[crobro]

I disagree, he's excelled every time his level of competition has risen to the next level, similar to Rendulics in that he adapts and is a fast learner.

 

[Fragmuffin]

you have got to be joking

Needs to play at a higher level. I'm sure that NHL scouts look into Austrian u20 league only on very special occasions, this isn't one of them. Pretty sure he's not on anyone's radar. He's still very young though, maybe he can make the jump into a tougher jr league (Finland, Sweden, Czech)

 

[Bojovnik]

If you're only getting 7 points at the U20 Div2B then nah. No chance.

His level of competition has never been or faced competition that would prove that he has potential. His numbers playing in Croatia aren't impressive and neither are his D2 WJ numbers. Rendulic at least put up decent numbers in Finland iirc.

 

[Jack DiBiase]

He has 54. highest point-per-game in Austrian junior league. Do I have to say more?

 

[ecemleafs]

has he played in the KHL? his elite prospects stats say hes played for KHL zagreb

You nailed it

 

[crobro]

Worth a late round pick

Bring him over ,place him on a CHL team and chart his development, I've seen worse gambles.

 

[Jack DiBiase]

I've seen worse gambles.

Name one. Taro Tsujimoto? Maybe in the past, but in current NHL even the later rounds have value, because the scouting has improved so much.

 

[crobro]

I'm thinking more Tony Hand being drafted with the last pick in the entry draft and turning heads at Edmonton Oilers training camp.

There was a Romanian star doru Tureanu who was offered a million dollars by the Scotty bowman Habs in 1977.

What? That's a 5 game sample size that you haven't even watched him in and you have already ruled him out?
