Adam Fantilli Or Wyatt Johnston?

[GlitchMarner]

Which young centre would you rather have?

I have a feeling next year, this poll will be a lot more interesting/closer.

Especially if CBJ can get another top 6 player and Fantilli can improve his face offs. But right now, Dallas depth and team chemistry is just too good; probably why they are in the playoffs and CBJ has a 1st year coach and GM & coming out of a 4 year rebuild.

Gotta consider Wyatt Johnston's been brought along very quickly in a winning environment playing huge games. That has a real impact to a young player where he's not going to be spending years in the wilderness trying to get into the playoffs, and then how to win in the playoffs.

What is his excuse playing for Canada against France or Austria (Hockey, not Soccer) and looking like nothing special at all?

I think Fantilli has higher upside so i'm taking him.

Johnston has scored some big goals, that clutch-gene is visible.

He has been struggling in a playoffs this year tho.

I have to say I have watched much more Johnston's games.

Love both players, would kill for either on my team.

But Wyatt at this point has proven he can handle big pressure games, and is as clutch as they come.

That could change when Adam and company start playing in big games. But for now, Wyatt has my vote.

In 1.5 years Fantilli is going to be the better player, than Johnston right now. Probably even better than Johnston in 1.5 years...

 

[Vergil]

WyJo and it's not even close.

 

[LeProspector]

Fantilli but admittedly there is quite a bit of projection going on there.

Not going to argue the fact, that he needs to improve. There's no reason to think he won't either.
