F Adam Fantilli - Univ. of Michigan, NCAA (2023 Draft)

[GermanSpitfire]

Pronman said on his podcast that 20-25% of scouts have Fantilli first on their list.

Interesting nonetheless.

I think this may be one of those scenarios where even IF the scouts have someone over Bedard - you don’t want to be the GM that puts his job on the line over a decision that is that close - go with the media darling that the fans have convinced themselves will go #1.

There is nothing to disagree with...

Youre clearly in the wrong here but you just wont accept it

im not here too argue just posting my opinion on the matters.. you can have yours too but i wouldnt be surprised to see Fantilly on the USA Hockey roster in Halifax.

Wanna make a bet on that? Because its literally impossible for him to represent USA.

Can't wait to see Matthews represent team Canada at the next major international event!

youve been paying too much attention to "Cabbie" on Sportsnet... I am not interested in gambling. we dont have too bet on anything we can just go our seprate ways as i indicated in my previous post and agree to disagree

You apparently don't understand the difference between opinions and facts.

Jonathan Toews went to North Dakota, is he an American too?

So… a player that is:

Born and raised in Ontario

Played his youth hockey in Toronto

Has represented Canada internationally on two separate occasions - once at a IIHF sanctioned event, meaning he is locked into representing that nation for the foreseeable future.

is going to represent America because first of all - it‘s your opinion that is based on: “HE PLAYS IN AMERICA”

This isn’t a debate - this is not an opinion. It is fact

 

[GermanSpitfire]

We’re not trying to be rude - we’re trying to inform you.

There are some pretty knowledgeable posters in this thread telling you Fantilli is a Canadian that has, and will continue to represent Canada internationally.

If you didn’t know, once a player represents a certain country at a IIHF sanctioned event, that player cannot play for another country unless they have played a minimum of 4 years in another country, and haven’t represented their original nation in that time span.

In Adam Fantilli’s case, he has played in a IIHF sanctioned event in the previous 4 years - He represented Canada at the U18‘s; Just 5 months ago, so going forward he will play for Canada internationally.

It‘s not Canada vs USA, it’s not my opinion vs yours.

It is a fact.

Updates on how Fantilli and the rest of the Michigan boys are doing recovering from the illness?

Let’s not rule out Team Sweden as a potential option for Fantilli at the WJC. People close to him think he’s got a few more teams that might be in the mix too…

Kids from Nobleton, which is basically Woodbridge North. I heard he's going down a division or two to bring the pride to Italian hockey after they failed to make the World Cup in Soccer.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Hi, I'd like to talk about how much of an american Fantilli is, plz

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

w'ere just gonna have to agree to disagree and see what happens in December - Fantily is in UMICH afterall

Has absolutely nothing to do with it

 

[jj cale]

He's got to be doing this for kicks, no other explanation. Though I am not sure how this could entertain anyone.

 

[Help]

what the hell. i came in here hoping for prospect info. who cares what national team he plays for. christ.

 

[AKL]

I can't wait for Fantilli's version of The Decision to air. He's taking his talents south.

What ethnicity is Adam Fantilli?

 

[Lavar Ball]

I don't see Fantilli passing Bedard. I agree with @WhiskeyYerTheDevils that Fantilli's production will slow down as the season progresses. I think Carlsson vs. Fantilli for the second best Center available will be the real big debate come the draft

 

[93LEAFS]

What ethnicity is Adam Fantilli?

His name ends in a vowel and he is from just north of Woodbridge. I will say with 99% confidence his family is of Italian descent.

 

[Breakers]

Playing in college hockey doesn’t make you American. He came from Ontario to the USHL at age 16.

No he didn’t

It's a reference to an old, legendary post titled "What ethnicity is John Tavares" it's definitely my personal favourite legendary hf post. I thought it fit in with the crazy discussion and may bring back some funny memories for other old timers like me.

I can’t even remember what thread someone said that was the stupidest thing they’ve heard today only to be lead here. But oh my

 

[QJL]

Pronman said on his podcast that 20-25% of scouts have Fantilli first on their list.

Pronman also said on his podcast that Bedard is being overplayed 26-28 minutes a night when in reality he’s averaging just over 22.

they have a player in the ICU from the virus

Truscott was in the hospital for the same virus.

Any word on the illness? Nasty influenza strain this year or something?

Seems like lots of prospects are getting sick this year. Byfield was put for two full weeks earlier this year and Simon edvinsson for about the same with some kind of illness as well

Spokesperson said it was some “adenovirus variant” but very nasty. Naruto said is “mutated or something like that”
