Center. He's more than likely already the best center on the jackets roster as well. He won't likely start on the first line, but it's not impossible.Does anybody know Was he playing center or wing?
Leo looked fantastic in his debut, so no not really. Both are great prospects.You blew it Anaheim
It's one game. Holly mackerel. Remains to be seen who's better.You blew it Anaheim

Pascal Vincent was hired as head coachThanks was wondering what they were thinking to start the season on how they wanted to ease him in.
But now they don’t have a coach
So who knows what the next guy thinks

And crazy eyes!Fantilli has been in a man's body since he was 15, with a full beard!
That's the reason I'm saying it. I've seen so many people say things like that and of course end up being wildly wrong. I rarely make a call just after the draft. But this is one where I was willing to put out there right after the pick, and will take any internet shame that comes with being wrong.If we could go back and look at what folks said in the first post draft year about every draft pick, we'd be a little more humble.
Adam Fantilli is going to be really good, probably immediately. I think Carlsson will catch up later.

Leo just shot up 6 inches a couple years ago, he's still adjusting. You can see that he can do a lot more and he's just figuring out what he's capable of. It's really exciting.
I know how you feel, my friend. As someone with the first name Kardashian, I've been trying to grow my butt to an insane size, butt, no matter how much I eat and sit on the couch - letting gravity work its magic, I will always be the "other Kardashian".As someone with the first name "Adam", I'm rooting for Fantilli to be the best Adam in NHL history and only legit elite player. (Not better than me, though, I'm the real Adam.)
Probably safe to assume he'll be the best Adamo in NHL historyAs someone with the first name "Adam", I'm rooting for Fantilli to be the best Adam in NHL history and only legit elite player. (Not better than me, though, I'm the real Adam.)
A bit too early to say. Adamoates was a very good player.Probably safe to assume he'll be the best Adamo in NHL history
I don't think the Ducks overthought it necessarily, based on Verbeek's comments they knew pretty much right away that Carlsson was their guy (at least for him and the chief scout Martin Madden by the sounds of it). Some voices probably wanted Fantilli but clearly they were aligned at the end for the most part.I went thru a phase where I was considering that I thought Carlsson was better. I had small issues with Fantilli's IQ and possibly a bit of a clutchness issue. The thing is.. even if those things are true, Fantilli's physical tools make him such a dominant player that the sheer volume of his attempts would make up for any of it. This is a just a thought experiment but Imagine Fantilli has 10 attempts per game with a success rate of 40%, and Carlsson has 5 attempts per game with a success rate of 70%. Carlsson then makes 3.5 successful plays and Fantilli makes 4 successful plays
I think Anaheim overthought it, but didn't overthink enough. Pretty good chance their pick will look at least a little bit bad down the road
Well that's kind of even worse. It shouldn't be an easy decision and to be that closed off to Fantilli is concerningbased on Verbeek's comments they knew pretty much right away that Carlsson was their guy (at least for him and the chief scout Martin Madden by the sounds of it).
I think all it was was they saw a clear demarcation between the two, even if it was relatively small. I wouldn't say they were closed off, they just didn't have a reason to put him ahead of Carlsson. look, it might not have been the right decision, but it appears to have been a logical and reasonable one at leastWell that's kind of even worse. It shouldn't be an easy decision and to be that closed off to Fantilli is concerning
