7.3 cm tarsometatarsus though... That's quite big (actually, the biggest in an enantiornithine..)

Apparently the largest troodontid was troodon itself.

Alaskan Troodon is almost 4 metres in length and is the second biggest predator in its range after Nanuqsaurus...

If not coutung it.... Then, it's Zanabazar from Mongolia, about 2 metres and close to 3.

No, IIRC the miggerst estimates for Brady's length was around 3 metres, Alaskan Troodon is thought to be close to 4.

Only one piece of bone is known from Bradycneme, just one.... We can't know how big this guy is, given the fact that we aren't even sure nowaday what group of theropod this guy belongs to.

There is one estimation that used the proportion of Troodon itself to estimate this animal and it's probably about 2-3 metres, around the same size to Zanabazar or a bit bigger, but still far smaller than Alaskan Troodon.

Your head perhaps? :P

I've heard it thrown about, but never on any reliable websites. All it needed was for one website to claim that B. draculae could reach that size and others would have propagated it. I've never heard of any scientific backing for it though so I'd ignore it if I were you ;)
