History
2006-07: Drazenovic plodded through a mediocre regular season. He missed a chunk of games due to injury, and didn’t enjoy the success that many 20-year-olds do against mostly younger competition in their final junior season. But the centerman came up big when it counted, totaling 19 points in 15 playoff games. Many of his goals and points were game winners or key goals in helping the Cougars make a decent playoff run.

2007-08: Drazenovic jumped from the WHL to the AHL this season, centering for St. Louis affiliate Peoria. In 69 games with the Rivermen, the forward managed to notch 16 goals and another 26 helpers for a 42 point season.
Talent Analysis
Drazenovic is a swift skater and a creative puckhandler. He is at his best when on the attack, using his physical tools to generate scoring chances. He has good on-ice vision, and a quick shot release. Drazenovic doesn’t play very physical, but he has gotten stronger since he was drafted.
