I’m not sure why you have to be rude, but I think you’re overrating Fantilli. I think he’ll be a good player, but not one that a competitive team builds around. And I said that much. That’s not forgetting he or any other prospect in their system exists.Hon, you in particular have already forgotten and/or just blithely ignored simple and basic things like, say, Adam Fantilli's existence, simply because he was drafted by Columbus. Far too many evaluations here have consisted exclusively and entirely of "Columbus sucks because Columbus". Literally not a single bit of thought given to the folks actually here. Just "It's Columbus". Some people at least temper that with "well, Columbus, but guys like Fantilli and Jiricek and Lidstrom seem like they could be good", but you couldn't even manage that much.
Call it hate, call it indifference, call it ignorance, call it whatever you like, but however you call it it's bad-faith bullshit.
We all know Elvis has the ability to be a very good goalie in this league. His problem is between the ears. Doesn't help our defense has been atrocious for 3 seasons now either.I'm the only Elvis fan but I think he's a good goalie.
4 quarters or a dollar
Jokes old, but I still feel obligated to beat a dead horseI did not want to make a poll, I want to have a serious discussion about how far this team is away from competing in your guys opinion.
They got lot's of blue chip prospects and loaded with top other prospects , the current state of the team is not bad as Werenski in the back end works very well with their offence , but I'm still confused as what step they will take in the next coming years
I'm asking how long before the Blue Jackets return to the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS
I don't think it's proof of concept anymore.As a Penn State grad, it’s been awesome to see hockey growing in central and western PA over the last couple decades. The Pens have played a large part in that. It’s really proof of concept that hockey in Ohio can work. They just need a franchise that can generate some excitement for the sport.
To be this wrong in so many ways is actually impressive.When Boone Jenner is your #1 Center, and Yegor Chinakhov is your #1 right winger, add to that you have no goalie and no future in nets....Yes they have Fantilli and a couple of good D prospects, but I think they are the furthest away from contending in the NHL, except for maybe San Jose.
How far away is Columbus?
It's like right next door to New Jersey - Gaudreau
I think that’s enough and Jin you’re my second favourite sens fan so I’m not being prejudicedIt remains quite far. I don't think it's moved on the map, actually.
This is literally the first post you have made in this thread that even mentions his name. And given how he was described going into his draft year - and comparisons drawn between him and Celebrini, whom you praised earlier - I feel safe in pointing to this as an example of having already written him off "because Columbus".I’m not sure why you have to be rude, but I think you’re overrating Fantilli. I think he’ll be a good player, but not one that a competitive team builds around. And I said that much.
The Blue Jackets do not get top picks. The closest we have ever gotten to getting a "hype guy" was Fantilli, and, well, ever since coming here he's already being dismissed as irrelevant.They’ll end up with one of Hagens or McKenna.
I’m blessing y’all this time lmaoThe Blue Jackets do not get top picks. The closest we have ever gotten to getting a "hype guy" was Fantilli, and, well, ever since coming here he's already being dismissed as irrelevant.
I didn’t state his name specifically, because I grouped him with the other Blue Jackets’ top prospects who I feel similarly about- players who will be good, but not ones you build around as a truly competitive franchise. And frankly, making a comparison to Celebrini makes me fairly confident that you are overrating him.This is literally the first post you have made in this thread that even mentions his name.

In that case, then, I have that in common with the overwhelming majority of hockey observers, who generally put Fantilli right behind Celebrini based on Celebrini being more NHL-ready at draft time. Couple that with your having started out suggesting a timetable that is, frankly, absurd for any franchise in the history of the League, and I subsequenty find it extremely hard to believe that good faith and honesty ever came into it to begin with. There's differences of perspective and opinion, and then there's going out of your way to express evaluations that are so exceptionally out of place as to reflect outcomes that would seem borderline impossible. It'd be like me trying to justify picking Pittsburgh finishing last in the League this year and next - without assuming Crosby being injured or anything - as "just my opinion being different".I didn’t state his name specifically, because I grouped him with the other Blue Jackets’ top prospects who I feel similarly about- players who will be good, but not ones you build around as a truly competitive franchise.
