Also Robert Kristan back to Olimpija. This will be weird, seeing a Medvescak fans favorite goaltender on the opposite side. I know it already happened with Brust, but Lix and Barry left under different circumstances
It won't be weird because Olimpija is not in the EBEL anymore.
Koskiranta really stands out, maybe he thought he was going to KHL... See kids, this is what happens when you don't do your homework.
another player for Medveščak, Tomas Netik

So far so good.
Netik, Kudelka, Koskiranta, Deutsch, Aviani, Puskarich
Slovenian trio of Saso Rajser, Nik SimcÂÂic and Mark Cepon signed with MedvescÂÂak. I hope we could get some crowd from Slovenia.
Yeah that's the most important thing, not the one that domestic players will again be sidelined and probably quit. It seems Medvescak didn't learn a thing in last eight years.
Smolec, Kegalj, JankoviÄâ€Â¡, Jarcov, Zanoski, Ficur and Rosandic is not enough for you?
If the domestic players gonna be sidelined and quit thats gonna happen because they wont be good enough to play in EBEL. If you wanna watch only domestic players than watch croatian legue.
And yes that is very important thing because those things keep the club alive.
It is not about how many of them are on the roster it is about are they going to get some minutes or not.
About your last paragraph.... I am not sure if you are serious or not. Rajsar, Simsic and Cepon are nobodies in slovenian hockey and apart from their family and maybe some die hard hockey friends I don't know who would be crazy enough to go to Zagreb to watch players who can't crack Slovenian NT.
Let's be honest, if there will be some fans from Austria they won't be attracted by hockey or players but cheap beer... I remember last season in ebel when there were games in Arena Zagreb and the biggest company that provides alcohol for bars and caffes needed to work overtime as they did not have enough trucks to send booze
Well Simsic and Cepon aren't nobodies, former being 2nd best Slovenian prospect at the moment so it is additional incentive for die hard Slovenian hockey fans to come to the game.
Having said that, nothing generates attendance and creates hype better than winning so that should be the priority. At this point it seems this team has some excellent players and absolutely 0 depth.

Well that is good news. It may be fun to watch this guys develop.
Medvescak, as croatian club, should develop croatian players, not foregin ones. Foregin ones should be established players who can make immediate impact on the ice. But this is Medvescak we are talking about, so everything is possible.
