    Is Ferencvaros done deal ?

    Is there a long-term to medium-term chance that Medvescak will return to the league?

    Personally, I would prefer a big league with many markets, as I believe that broad media interest in other countries would significantly increase the advertising value of the league ...

    AFAIK - no. Even if they have money there is ongoing re-construction of Dom sportova ice hall which should be over sometimes in 2026. I didn't hear about any plans for joining ICE. They do have a plan to join Alps, but they haven't sent application for next season.
    They are still seen as "villains" by part of hockey fans in Croatia due to their relationship and attitude towards Croatian players. And rightfully so, for example when they returned to EBEL for 2017/2018. season a lot of fans had expectations that they will give proper chance to 1995 and 1996. born players who reached EBEL U20 finals. And what they did ? They basically sent one of the top prospects Matija Milicic into semi-retirement because he asked for xy amount of money and they offered him yx amount. The diffirence was 300 euros per month !!! Imagine what kind of shortsighted and cheap S.O.B you need to be to treat your home-grown player like that. Milicic even played KHL season before and didn't look out of place at all.
    So, back to the original subject, even if they collect enough money, I am not sure if our top players would be willing to join them, because of aforementioned example. Which would led to the roster of 20 foreginers again and we saw how it ended last time.

    Etwas, das mir gerade zum Thema Streamingangebot eingefallen ist: die DEL Playoff Final Spiele Berlin gegen Köln kann man auf Sport Deutschland für 6,90€ pro Spiel schauen, der DEL Season Pass kostete dort heuer 199,-€ - alle Spiele aller Mannschaften.

    There would be few of them for ICE team, sure in minor roles...and with Rendulic on wrong side of 30 he could also be an option for few seasons.

    Regarding 2nd Alps team, it would be very though to put 2nd team without searching for some croatian - canadians to put 3,5 lines that would be no worse than Celje in their 1st season.

    in my opinion, until the financial problems arose, Zagreb was an enrichment for the league. There were always interesting players to watch there. I think it's a shame that the team was no longer competitive.

    Are there no affordable dual nationals who could be signed, like Mark Katic? In the season when Zagreb were in the ICE, I think there were a few, am I right?

    And if you can't sign dual nationals, then you have to nationalize the players. 😂😂

    There are some, but they look more like Alps level (Marko Sikic - depth player in ECHL) or are too expensive (Luka Profača - KHL). :/

    EDIT: There is a cousin of Mark Katić. Danny...who looks like as depth player for ICE.

    jetzt wo es schon offiziell ist und der erste Transfer verlautbart wurde, könnte bitte jemand dem Liga Neuzugang Ferencvárosi TC (Sektion Eishockey) eine eigene Unterkategorie im Forum erstellen?
