I'm lost.
Click the name in my last post. His father is a German Hockey Legend.
Maybe that Slovenia's U20 league sucks?
Also, does anyone think that Arturs Gavrus will be drafted? Could he be the next Grabovski? I've never seen him play and would love to hear about what he brings to the table.
I saw Bogdziul a few times with Ilves U18 and he´s a pretty good player. Good hands, vision, offensive awareness.I found out a bit about some Lithuanian prospects from SvenskaRiga. There's a big defense Domantas Cypas. He could go farther than most Lithuanians. Also, Ilja Cetvertak who made Lithuania's U18 team this year and dominated(D2). These are their top prospects along with Daniel Bogdziul.

No Poles on the radar?

That's more to do with the massive jump in standard between each level than anything.A lot of the British prospects, looking at their stats, are being promoted too early and their production is suffering by the looks. A few 17 years old with few points (Under 10) in over 50 games after good seasons in the leagues below.

Anyway, on topic, Robert Dowd is something special, leading scorer in Div IA at this WC and looked like the best player on the ice every time. Just picked up by Troja-Ljungby of the Allsvenskan, has plenty still to give at 23yo. Rare package of clutch scoring, two-way play and explosive skill. Can see him giving NA a go at some point soon.
Kapica is somebody to watch..

Not good enough for NHL. Could be decent player in leagues like Czech or Slovakian though.
I think Dowd has missed the NA boat now. I also think it's only worthwhile if they have a legitimate chance at the Show, which Dowd doesn't.
The best young prospect playing in GB right now is probably Lewis Hook. Luke Ferrara seems to be another good player.
Being honest, I doubt either of those players has much chance of making it in the NHL but leagues below that are possible.
I'm keen to keep an eye out for Rod Stewart's son, Liam playing for Spokane Chiefs. 26Pts in 66G and I doubt he has much chance but I think if anyone takes him, it'll be LA.

Doesn't matter. If he ever played international I bet he'd play for the UK.I don't think he ever played in England did he? I'm glad he's going to represent them but I'm almost sure he was born in London but grew up in L.A. and never once stepped on ice in England.

Ye he committed to play for the Great Britain U18 team but Spokane made the playoffs.
What I mean is he's not a homegrown British prospect. He was completely developed in USA.
Best Croatian prospects would be..
Borna Rendulić (Porin Assat - Finland)

The worst is over, I believe. I hope we'll see a group of quality players from Ukraine in near future (5-6 years).
