100% will still be interviewing bedard during our pick
They will give us 1 sentence and then go "as we have 1 minute left until Columbus pick, here is top 10 things to visit in Ohio"

I'm actually a little surprised they didn't hold it this weekend and leave FA for next.
So, got an invite to a draft party next week at Honda Center, Brewery X Biergarten. Obviously can't make it. Anyone going?

He says, "continuing" to hear. Did he ever make that proclamation previously? I certainly could have missed it while traveling.

I would be surprised if we ended up going with Carlsson. Not because he isn't worthy of the pick, but it just feels like Fantilli is the exact type of player Verbeek would want.
I think it was reported in the last week or so. Most of us thought it felt like click bait.
I've preffered Carlsson since before the season, but yeah I'd be surprised too.

That's pretty much what I thought too. But to play devil's advocate, most scouts say the two are awfully close. Factor in the Ducks' success drafting Swedes and maybe it wouldn't be the biggest shock of the draft.

man that would be interesting. would be nice if Stephens could weigh in on this.
I feel like Yzerman would go with Carlsson
McKenzie's final ranking has Fantilli 2nd. 9/10 scouts voted him #2.

The 2023 NHL Draft is about so much more than just the phenom who will go first overall to the Chicago Blackhawks in Nashville, Bob McKenzie writes. Scouts are very enthused about the depth of this year’s class.

Would loooove to get musty later on. Would have to trade back into the first.

Musty would be interesting and there is an outside chance he falls to 33. Edstrom would be my guy at 33 if he falls.Intrigue and excitement in the Year of Connor Bedard at the NHL Draft | TSN

His list always ends up being the most accurate. Thank goodness his list has Fantilli at #2.
How reliable is The Mayor ?
How many average skating centers do the Ducks really need ? McTavish, Zegras, Carlsson.
Out of those 3 Carlsson is the slowest.

Marek and Friedman were emphasizing yetserday how Verbeek likes to do things his own way and they were talking about that in the context of selecting Michkov and Carlsson wouldn't be nearly the splash Michkov would be. Could be just complete anecdote about his personality but maybe not. either way, we'll be getting a great prospect, but there will be the added anticipation which should make it all the more interesting.

I won’t be mad at a carlsson pick…. But I think fantilli has the higher upside…. I think he has more tools that we should be looking for. I feel like taking carlsson is a case of overthinking

The thing about McKenzie's list saying 9 of 10 scouts picked Fantilli for #2 overall is that a lot of other teams scouts have done a lot better with Forwards than the Ducks. I'm betting he interviewed scouts from teams picking top 10. I also wouldn't be surprised if its one of Arizona's scouts that is the 1 out of 10 that went for Carlsson, they like Swedes. They had Soderstrom at #3 in 2019 according to their GM.
Holland, Ritchie, Etem, Steel, Jones.
McTavish, Zegras, Rakell and Palmieri are the 1st round ones that turned out well.
I just hope the Ducks scout isn't that 1 out of 10 scouts that went against the majority.

All I hope for is that whoever they pick at #2 becomes a 1st liner and not a bust.
Don't f*** around Verbeek, just pick Fantilli
