agree i think longterm Carlsson will be better
they have one of the best scouts if not the best in Madden Jr ( i know he got promoted ) so woudlnt be surprised to see Ducks pick Leo over Fantilli

There’s a lot to like with his game. Already extremely strong on the puck. Doesn’t matter if he’s in traffic or not. He uses his size to separate the puck from opponents and thinks the game like a veteran. He’s been put into a position to succeed playing a lot with Berggren and Raymond, and has taken the opportunity and run with it. If there’s one area you’d like to see some improvement, it’s in transition. Sometimes he slows it done too much. That’s a very Swedish thing to do playing normally on bigger ice. Not a big deal though.
Columbus has to be very happy right now. Whether he creeps into Anaheim’s plans, we shall see. His performance should nix any thoughts of dropping past 3rd Overall though.

Let's be clear, Tuch scored the second one.
But still, the best game from Leo in this tournament from what I have seen. Ducks have a tough decision on their hands.

Ofcourse not you need to have your speedy centers De la Rose and Lindholm out there with all that extra space

He was on the ice for OT - jumps out at 23 seconds of this video. Sweden was already in major trouble though.
I've seen a few reports that said most of the top 3/4 guys would be in the conversation for 1st overall potentially all the back to the Mcdavid or Matthews drafts
Carlsson put it cross ice and it deflected off Tuch’s blade. A bit lucky but we see goals like that all the time in the show. Really excited about this kid.

tbh idk how I missed him. Going back to re-view the whole broadcast he's pretty front and center when he was on the ice in OT (paired with Grundström, while Berggren didn't get on the ice on OT), well, except for the US having the puck.

If he doesn’t go top3 it will be a crime.
Went to watch him today

What the deuce
People say the same thing for Michkov as well though. Neither of which are projected top-2.

Carlsson and Michkov are 2 different stories.
There’s basically no clear reasons/concerns why he shouldn’t go.

What the deuce
There's multiple scouts who have said that Carlsson could go two and that they wouldn't be surprised if he ended up as the best player in the draft when it's all said and done (Carlsson)

He is 2nd overall for sure.
Far ahead of Fantilli.

I do think he has a higher ceiling than Fantilli. More high end offensive upside for sure.
Who knows how it will turn out, but I'd pick him over Fantilli. Now what about Carlsson vs Michkov? That's even more interesting question.

Vegas has it at 1.8
Which I think is a slam dunk bet so I bet it.
Also if you guys think he's going #2 you're currently getting 6.5 on it
Fantilli is 1.22 to go #2. Pretty much a lock.
