The dudes awesome, I think he'll be an elite 1C, and I actually liked him over Fantilli too, but the Forsberg comparisons are weird to me, I don't see that at all.

I compared his vision and passing ability to Forsberg. He's certainly not as physical
Its your classic "they're both Swedish".
The really cringe ones is when they compare two black guys.

We were right there
Kind of reminds me of what people were saying about Lundell.
Or Kopitar really.
There's something to be said for being a big, smooth, relatively boring super effective player (not that he doesn't have moments of excitement or high skill), that kind of brain and vision will carry a team a lot further. I think he's the Ducks surefire 1C in short order and that's far less a knock at Zegras or MacT and far more a flattering of Leo. His game processing is second to none.
And yeah I also say that as a huge Fantilli fan

You mean Quinton Byfield isn't the next Feed Brathwaite?

I agree, he's not going to run a guy through the boards, but he's by no means a finesse player. Even at 18 he's figured out how to use his frame against men effectively, and that frame is only going to get bigger and stronger. He'll be a horse with the puck. I also would say him being "boring" isn't true either, he's not super flashy, but he takes on defenders 1v1 attacking the triangle pretty often and at times too often during this preseason.

He’s gonna be just fine. He actually has a lot of Barkov in his game, but I do think he has some extra flash that we’ll see, more and more as he matures.
He does a lot of the little things right already. A lot like Danielson has been doing in Detroit. So he’s not going to hurt the Ducks, or his development, playing in the NHL the entire year. The game’s not to big for him.. at all.
If he goes through an extended slump where things are visibly going bad, then maybe they send him down. They really shouldn’t play games with him. Sometimes a manager will want to see a player go through these ten game stretches in the AHL, but hopefully they don’t. Just leave him be. He’ll get better every night.
He’s legit, legit. Anaheim is officially loaded with some grade A prospects.

Very Nice, Very Evil!
He will stand as a great NHL player but not as good as Bedard. Over the years.

Zegras-Carlsson-Terry line expected in tonight's preseason game. 
Is Carlsson actually projected to be the center tonight?Zegras-Carlsson-Terry line expected in tonight's preseason game.

Yes, the Zegras-Carlsson-Terry line started with Carlsson in the middle.
The kid looked so good tonight. Verbeek already confirmed he's made the NHL full time but tonight felt like Leo really earning Verbeek/Cronin's faith. Multiple scoring chances he didn't get to bury and some really nice passes to his linemates.
I thought he was Anaheim's best forward tonight in a game where Terry, Zegras, and Carlsson all played. Granted he's got a bit more conditioning under his belt with more preseason and rookie camp games played, but still. Carlsson showed he's got a strong foundation to build on at the NHL level.

He's gonna be sooo good in a few years.

If i read this right. He is gonna be in NHL the whole year , thats a couple of mounths, then maby to AHL to be a call up?
16-3
That was the Ducks' shot differential with Carlsson on the ice at 5v5. That line seemed to be pretty dominant together. It doesn't seem fair to have so much puck handling talent on the same line.
