Have you seen him play though? Is he special? Better potential then Pastrnak and Vrana?

I have seen him play both in juniors and in U18 Extraleague.
Hard to compare but I think that Pasta and Vrana has higher potential. As I said, Zadina looks more mature physically which isn´t good sign.

ok thanks. I hope he ends up being a 1st round guy. Is he a flashy player? Or more of a Zacha type player?

So you're saying that he hasn't got enough speed and skill to make up for his lack of size? (assuming that he doesn't grow any bigger in the next 3 years)

Really excited for the championship. Last one was a huge dissapointment, with a good team that was expected to even fight for medals, they barely beat Denmark and then get a free win against Russia (Say whatever you want but Russia clearly didn't play 100%) truth is I really enjoyed the game against Russia, but still. Then we get the easiest play-off team possible and we don't even score. It was just a shame. Prerost not taking players like Zboril or Karabacek was also really suspicious. Hopefully the new coach will be better (And maybe make a similiar success as with u18)
We will see, as I said, really excited. :popcorn:

Agreed. Now that we have a good coach and the core intact I think we can steal a medal. This year will be the year! :)

Hopefully. Last year's one was the first WJC I ever watched and the main reason why I was so dissaponted was the ******** they were saying before the start. About how good players they finally got (Even though missing Zboril etc.) and that they will finally win a medal. We all know how it ended up...
Medal would be great, but I don't mind Quaterfinal loss IF we play well in group and in the Quaterfinal. If we beat someone strong (That wants to win, not like Russia last year) and just play with heart.

The expectations last year were pretty high, that's right, we had a pretty good team and if well coached, who knows.. but the truth is.. even though our team was solid on paper, the other teams were still better. Our media just made a big fuss. The other thing is that the team wasn't even able to play to its limit.
But you know, still acceptable in some way.. be happy you didn't see WJCs 2009-2011, that was really painful to watch (Cze - Swe 1:10.. ouch), I just hope that those times are fully behind us now.

Haha, yeah I was gonna mention that.......our boys couldn't even keep up with them skating and stamina wise. Now that they can do that, they need to brush up on their individual skill-level.
