I know Rouyn-Noranda holds his rights and they hope he will join them next year. Or hell, maybe still a chance this year since they still have a Euro spot open.

Alright this guy needs to legally change his name lol.

Holy ****

holy ****

He has good offensive skill, need to do more on his defense. Hope some team take a chance on him though.
Goals from Leksand juniors this year.

Nice! I hope he comes to NA next year.

I once heard someone refer to him as the next Anze Kopitar. Does he actually play a game like Kopitar's or is it just because he's Slovenian?

More like the next Jan Mursak.

Any word on where he goes next year?

Any word on where he goes next year?

Very little buzz around him and is one of the few draft prospects who didn't play a lot of J20 so 6th-7th or nothing.

 

[kabidjan18]

I was more thinking club but that works too haha

Rouyn-Noranda draft him last year knowing he wasn't going to play in 2016-2017, the exception was/is that he will play for them next year

 

[HungryFrank]

wow! did not expect him to get drafted, great job!

Pens 2nd rounder Zachary Lauzon also plays for Rouyn-Noranda, so I'm sure management would be in favor of that move.

 

[NoMessi]

Seems like hes doing real good in u20. Can someone update me more about this prospect?

Penguins Sign Forward Jan Drozg to a Three-Year, Entry-Level Contract

 

[EXTRAS]

Anyone know much about him?

 

[SoundAndFury]

Typical skilled Euro puck hog who tries to do too much

That's tongue in cheek but not far from the truth, honestly. If he fills out and starts playing more of a power game he might get close to the NHL at some point but right now I see him more as a great, skilled EBEL player.

 

[Garl]

I think he is roughly in the same area as Jan Mursak when he was the same age. Injuries and logjam in Detroit stopped Mursak from becoming an impact NHLer, we shall see with Drozg. Still, I think he will be more than a EBEL player, maybe SHL/KHL guy. He definately has more potential than Sabolic or Jeglic who made some careers in KHL for example.
