But he’ll duck out any never speak of it again if he ends up being wrong, which happens often.
I find myself wondering if he wont be wrong on this one. Carlsson was a surprise pick for me because Fantilli seemed to be the perfect PV pick for the style he wants to play. North American, big, fast, physical, and skilled.

We will probably be debating this one for years lol.
 
I still think we should have picked Fantilli but it doesn't mean I'm not happy with Leo and behind him 100%. I think he's going to be a good one but always had more physical maturing to do than Fantilli. If Leo isn't lighting it up next year, we riot though!

Definitely will be a debate for years, I wanted Leo so I’m happy and also still think he ends up the more impactful player. But I definitely don’t think anyone should be running victory laps when they are 12 points apart throughout their young career. I am surprised Verbeek chose him though, definitely seemed like Fantilli was a PV style player
 
Carlsson-Sennecke vs Fantilli-Demidov will rightly be debated for years. Both were surprise picks at the very top of the draft. It’s not too much of an exaggeration to say that getting those picks right or wrong could mean the difference between a SC and mediocrity a few years down the road. I hope verbeek and madden were indeed the smartest guys in the room on both picks but the jury is still very much out.
 
I really didn't want to get into this debate. But it's not very fair to compare what Fantilli is doing now vs Leo. Based on ice time, coaching, the system, and line-mates. It's just not a fair comparison.
