I m not sure if there is much croatians players at the moment who are capable to devolop in EBEL.
Exactly....not to mention most hockey equipment is provided by the parents of these kids since clubs have no money to buy gear for 20 players...

Well throwing people in over their head is not developing either. And Simsic, as unproven as he is, is miles better than any Croatian prospect.
Of course Simsic is better, that is not even the subject...
I don't see how is giving 4th line minutes to the players who dominated (reached finals and there lost against RBS) junior EBEL "throwing over their heads" ?
Because those are the kids who hit the ice 2 or 3 times a week or something like that.
Whole junior system needs to be changed, serious investment in infrastructure needs to be made and I dont think that Medvescak have that kind of money.
And 4th line minutes are good for development?

No, but it is unwritten law that in 4th line should play domestic guys. In 99% of clubs, even in heavily imported leagues, 4th line is mostly occupied by homegrown players. No one can convience me that Jarcov/Jankovic can't play same role as Rajsar (I watched him for three seasons back in "old" EBEL days), which is basically, skate for 7-8 minutes per game and don't screw anything.
The players I am talking about had very good development. One of the players dad is chief of youth development in HC Zagreb and they had ton of ice time, they played various AAA tournaments in Canada (u10, u12), and since the age of 12 they had foregin coaches.
I think that this year they are going with the domestic players. SoundandFury mentioned that we have zero deepth so maybe they will roll with young croatians on bottom six.
How old are this guys now?
That's great!All your favorite teams now available in NHL18

Bit of OT but Medvescak has rehearsel game tomorrow. Does the ticket cost something or is it free. Ended up to Zagreb and was considering going to watch that. But it has been a long trip and already sort of counting coins .
Thanks. Just looked it quickly from their home page and medvescak was home team. You saved me from a pointless trip to there .
Noooooooo 😂😂
But Fox said there are three top teams and then there are 3 teams of similar quality and Medvescak is a part of that group...how can you insinuate we will miss playoffs, especially after beating Lyon 2:1 and a misfortunate loss against Villach
btw, I don't have sarcasm emoji on my mobile
I think that roster is just fine.
