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

[ORRFForever]

I was hoping he'd tie up the game at the end but... no.

4 shots (no points) in a 1 - 0 loss against the Youngstown Phantoms.

1 Assist against the Youngstown Phantoms.

this kid a potential 2nd overall pick?

Over michkov ? Nahh

Yup.

 

[Gold Standard]

this kid a potential 2nd overall pick?

I'd say yes, most definitely. And I'd take Yager at 3 if Fantilli goes 2.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

this kid a potential 2nd overall pick?

Potentially but Michkov is the odds-on favourite for 2. Fantilli, Yager, Dvorsky, and Ritchie will fight for 3.

 

[Gold Standard]

What does the USHL playoffs situation currently look like? Like to see Adam get in some Team Canada U18 action.

 

[ORRFForever]

1 goal vs Dubuque Fighting Saints - after 2 periods.

 

[ORRFForever]

Pointless in a big win against Madison.

 

[ORRFForever]

2 assists vs Maddison.

They seem to play a lot of back-to-backs in the USHL.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Incredibly exciting prospect - this 2023 draft is going to be special.

Over michkov ? Nahh

Perhaps not in overall talent but Michov also won't come over right away and the GM drafting second that picks Michov will probably lose his job before he comes over so that is a real factor.

Fantilli is a big fast extremely skilled player the type NHL GMs droll over.

I think that if Fantilli was eligible for this years draft he would go #1 frankly.

 

[ORRFForever]

2 assist after 2.5 periods vs Green Bay

2G + 1A with 5 minutes remaining.

I cant remember where I read it but people in hockey circles believe that Fantilli is closer to Bedard in this draft than 4th overall is to Fantilli and he is a high quality first overall pick in almost any draft year

I’d be very tempted to take him over Wright if I were a GM. And I like Wright.

If you were a GM you would be drafting an ineligible player…

I guess hypotheticals aren’t your thing. Spelled out in full: if Fantilli were eligible for this draft, I would take him ahead of Wright.

I love Fantilli, a guy with size, smooth skating, soft hands, amazing IQ and goal scoring...in most drafts he would be 1st overall...crazy to think we are talking about him going 3rd to 4th overall in this draft, scary to think of the talent.

Me, too. I just don't know what to think about Wright.

I hope he proves everyone wrong and is a superstar.

 

[Uncle]

He will look great in Battalion green!

Don’t hold your breath
