I'm not sure why they want to saddle him with all these terrible PTO/4th liners, but it's driving me crazy.fantilli needs better linemates
I don't think it's happening this year. Unless the absolute right deal comes across I think they will let it rock this season. It means more than likely adding another top 5-10 pick to either add to the system or use as a trade chip to find that top line guy. Hell with the cap expected to continue to rise they could go hard after a guy like Marner if he makes FA.Time for Waddell to get on the phone and bring Fantilli some help
In ideal world:
Marchenko - Monahan - Chinakhov
KJ - Fantilli - a new solid top 6 winger
Voronkov - Jenner - Sillinger
Olivier - Kuraly - Danforth
Scratch: JVR, ZAR
IIRC he was 4-6 weeks initially, which would put him back sometime in the middle-ish of November, plus more than likely a conditioning assignment in Cleveland if not more.How far away is Brindley from coming back?
You're not wrong.I understand Fantilli needs better linemates, but he’s not playing too great himself. I don’t think I saw him notably carry the puck pretty much at all tonight. It feels like he’s still chasing the game a lot of the time.
I'd like to not see him get swarmed when he has the puck before I make this statement, but he hasn't been amazing, to put it nicely.I understand Fantilli needs better linemates, but he’s not playing too great himself.

Is he going to play center all year?
